In reply to the discussion: 'Never in his life': Father of Tsarnaev's friend questions FBI slaying of son [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)1. Naaaaah....of course not! He was a little LAMB, I tell you--a lamb!!!!
Never mind that he kicked the living shit out of a teenager because he was pissed at the kid's dad over a PARKING spot. Put the kid in the hospital, too.
According to the arrest affidavit, Todashev had gotten into an altercation with a man and his son over parking space.
Todashev told police that the man 'got into his face' so he pushed him and then the man's son 'got involved' and Todashev began fighting him.
'Todashev said he was only fighting to protect his knee because he had surgery in March,' the affidavit states.
A mall security officer arrived on scene to find the son unconscious and lying in a pool of blood on the ground just as Todashev was pulling away in a white Mercedes.
The officer chased down the Mercedes, ordered Todashev out at gunpoint and arrested him.
The son was later treated at a hospital with a split upper lip, several teeth knocked out and head injuries.

Todashev was also arrested by Boston police in 2010 after a road rage incident. Witnesses told police that he argued with two other drivers and cut them off with his vehicle. According to a police report, he yelled, "You say something about my mother, I will kill you."

OP
Yeah, those two officials are the same AP source officials--and they weren't in the room.

I think that a lot of his, and Tsarnaev's, money, came from drug running/dealing.

Could have boxed as well; didn't the Tsarnaev he was friends with do that? (nt)
