In reply to the discussion: Suspected Boston Marathon bombers lived in "squalid, ramshackle" apartment [View all]sofa king
(10,857 posts)From my own perspective, that looks like a house with two dudes living in it, being about as unkempt and careless as one would expect two guys living together to be. Less messy than I am, I should add.
So then, we should expect to find the place strewn with bomb-making materials or associated evidence, like empty gunpowder bags, disassembled fireworks, brad nail packages never thrown away, soldering guns and so on. They did it all in a week and much of their mess appears much older than that.
We're talking about two guys who ran an operation in the midst of thousands of cameras and yet failed--totally, in the case of the younger one--to conceal their identities.
I wouldn't expect them to clean up at home, either. So where was their work-space?
Perhaps that is one of the questions investigators have for the wife....
And yes, it also appears to me as if the two were living large. I can think of a lot of "heavy lifting" that a boxer could do off the books, all of it criminal in nature, most of it requiring a wealthier criminal willing to pay. So who is that guy?
