most of you should know about the crazy 4chan post that described what was going to happen in relation to the Boston Marathon and who would be blamed, etc. I want to point out that the person who posted it said it was going to be pinned on the a guy late teens 20 years old, it doesn’t say two guys it says a guy. And the fact that Tamerlan was in the picture but was taken out literally means the Dzhokhar, a 19 year old, is getting everything pinned to him. The only one. I’m only pointing that out because that part of the post was like another hint or another point that really did happen and basically was a heads up that the older of the two was going to be taken out of the picture. Well- he’s dead. Just so eerie, I still can’t ignore it. Even if they show that video of Dzhokhar setting down his back pack, I will always have my doubts about this case. There is too much wrong with it whatever way you spin it.
How is this a conspiracy? Most violent public attacks are carried out by young men in their teens and 20s, and a fair number of those end up dead at the hands of police, because that’s what happens when you shoot at cops. (That’s what happens even when you don’t shoot at cops, honestly.) There have been a half dozen mass shooter incidents in the last year, and a solo male in his teens or 20s pretty much describes every one of them. The conspiracy theorist even got this thing wrong—there were 2 guys involved—and instead of recognizing that the theory was flawed, you’ve twisted reality to fit the theory by pretending like the older brother was somehow not involved or doesn’t matter just because he’s dead now.
And there are photos of the younger brother sitting down a backpack feet away from the little boy who was killed circulating the internet. So there’s that. The thing about people who’ve bought into conspiracy theories, though, is they figure out ways to rationalize their irrational stance. So, “Well, just because he sat down a backpack exactly where the bomb went off isn’t conclusive,” or “But the photo could have been doctored!” are probably how you’ll respond to that.
I can’t with this crap.
