THIS DAY IN HISTORY – Three people killed, hundreds injured in Boston Marathon bombing – 2013

Via History.com

On this day in 2013, two bombs go off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three spectators and wounding more than 260 other people in attendance. Four days later, after an intense manhunt that shut down the Boston area, police captured one of the bombing suspects, 19-year-old Dzhohkar Tsarnaev; his older brother and fellow suspect, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died following a shootout with law enforcement earlier that same day.

The 117th Boston Marathon began in the morning from Hopkinton, Massachusetts, with some 23,000 participants. At around 2:49 that afternoon, with more than 5,700 runners still in the race, two pressure cooker bombs hidden in backpacks exploded within seconds of each other near the finish line along Boylston Street. Three people died: a 23-year-old woman, a 29-year-old woman and an 8-year-old boy. Among the scores of others who were injured, more than a dozen people required amputations.

On the evening of April 18, the FBI released photos of two male suspects sought in connection with the bombings. That night at around 10:30, Sean Collier, a 26-year-old police officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was shot dead in his patrol car on the school’s Cambridge campus. Authorities would eventually link the murder to the Tsarnaev brothers, who spent parts of their childhoods in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan but had lived in the United States for about a decade prior to the bombings. Soon after Officer Collier was killed, Tamerlan Tsarnaev carjacked an SUV, taking the driver hostage and telling him he was one of the Boston Marathon bombers. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev followed behind in a smaller car before joining his older brother and the hostage in the SUV. The brothers drove around the Boston area with their hostage, forcing him to withdraw money from an ATM and discussing driving to New York City. When they stopped at a Cambridge gas station, the hostage escaped and called police, informing them the SUV could be tracked by his cellphone, which was still in the vehicle. Shortly after midnight, a gun battle broke out between the Tsarnaevs and police on a street in the Boston suburb of Watertown. One officer was seriously injured by gunfire but survived. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, also seriously wounded, was taken to a hospital, where doctors tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate him. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev managed to drive away from the shootout in the stolen SUV before abandoning it nearby and fleeing on foot.

That day, April 19, the Boston area was on lockdown, with schools closed, public transportation service suspended and people advised to stay inside their homes, as police conducted door-to-door searches in Watertown and military-style vehicles patrolled the streets. That evening, after police called off their search of the area, a Watertown man went outside to check on a boat he was storing in his backyard. When he looked inside the 24-foot vessel, he was startled to see blood and a person, who turned out to be Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, hiding there. Police soon arrived and took the suspect, who was wounded from the earlier gun battle, into custody.

At the time of the bombings, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a sophomore at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, while Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a community college dropout and former amateur boxer with a wife and child. Investigators believe the Tsarnaevs were motivated by extremist Islamic beliefs but planned and carried out the bombings on their own and were not connected to any terrorist organizations. The brothers allegedly used the Internet to learn how to build explosives.

In July 2013, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev pleaded not guilty to the 30 federal charges against him, including the use of a weapon of mass destruction. He is scheduled to stand trial in November 2014, and federal prosecutors have announced they will seek the death penalty against him if he is convicted.

In October 2013, court documents filed by federal prosecutors linked Tamerlan Tsarnaev to a triple murder in Waltham, Massachusetts, in September 2011. However, to date, the case remains unsolved.

Shutting down an American city to look for a teenager. A convenient excuse to declare martial law. Videos of innocent citizens having their doors broken down and thrown to the ground, with guns to the head. Swat teams in tanks, dressed for street combat in Afghanistan, looking for the teenager in silverware drawers and other physically impossible places a human could hide. The media applauding the whole situation with warnings to obey, while babbling with a guest neo-con how we are hated for our freedom. Meanwhile, an American citizen finds him in his boat while having a smoke.

Martial law is declared a success (and filed away that way for future reference). The Soviet-like police state tactics idolized by politicians, the FBI and the media. Yet, in spite of all that, there are still a lot of unanswered questions about both the bombing and the suspects.

A few people died, more were injured, some severely. Everything else including who, how, and especially why, is up for debate.

Absolutely! A great site that actually does some “journalism.” The trial was also a disgrace. One any Banana Republic would be proud of. I read an article about the trial on that site a year or so ago. Also, I’m sure you tube videos of the tactics used in Watertown that weekend can still be found.

As you correctly point out, one teenager with a 9mm peashooter shut down an entire American city; streets, planes, trains the whole friggen city. Like the Kennedy assassination it was a test of what “They” could get away with. More of that shit to come.

There is absolutely ZERO evidence that either boy shot the cop in Cambridge. If you follow their KNOWN movements then they would have had to go out of their way to shoot him (JD Tippet?). Is that what you’d expect of perps who are on the lam having just blown up a parade? A joy ride along the way? The youngest kid is shot to shit in that boat he was trapped in and took the time to write a confession? Bullshit.

It all could have been prevented by following up by good old fashion police work . The Russian equvalint of FBI/NSA/INS pick one , issued a warning about these brothers . The intel claimed their involvement or meeting with suspected Muslim terrorist groups , cells what ever . Our politically correct mangina’s could not find any reason to keep an eye on these two assholes regardless of serious intel that they may be trouble . I am certain that if the blue eyed white devil that I am were to meet with suspicious types overseas , I would be lucky to get in or out of anywhere without 24/7 rectal exam . Certainly would not want would be terrorist suspects to feel unwelcome in America . After all Barry Obama is changing the face of America . Even if he must allow people aid and comfort that arrive here to kill us . Now there is some strength in diversity . Remember this little historical fact : 1960 America was 80% white and lead the world in science , technology , health care , public education and boasted a standard of living for the majority of the population the world envied and copied . Fast Forward 2017 America is diverse at 60% white …Notice Anything ? Just Saying !

Please Understand, the Boston Bombing was a Manufactured Crisis…

Question:
What happens when you lose both your legs from an explosion, bearing in mind that it will take the EMS a minimum of 5 to 10 minutes to arrive because of the ensuing chaos, and the adrenaline will cause your heart to pump faster?

Answer:
If you lose both your legs from an explosion, half of your blood would drain from your body within a minute through your femoral arteries, as your heart is actually pumping the blood out. After two minutes- you’re dead. Bleeding out (as it is referred to in medical circles) is much worse with blunt force trauma, (such as from the resulting shrapnel caused by the explosion,) because flesh is torn, rather than cut. This will ultimately expose more material and vascular tissue. More than likely you would begin to vomit and shortly thereafter you would turn pale white and pass out from shock!

But in this picture Jeff Bauman/Nivk Vogt is sitting up, and wide awake!

Question:
Why is this man being transported in a wheelchair, and not a wheeled stretcher, or gurney?

Or, maybe that is his wheelchair, and he is a crisis actor playing a victim in a manufactured crisis. That is not his leg with the bone sticking out, that is a latex prosthetic slip on leg that is used on leg amputees when making movies, notice how fake and rubbery the dangling skin looks.
[imgcomment image[/img]
Boston Marathon Bomb Victim Jeff Bauman, is actually Nick Vogt, former US Army officer who lost his legs in Kandahar Afghanistan with the 1st Stryker Brigade 25th Infantry Division in Nov. 2011.

Elements within our Government, the media, and paid crisis actors, (read liberals) are participating in manufactured events, to fool the American people into supporting the Surveillance State, and trick them into giving up more of their Constitutional Rights, (mainly gun rights.)
There have been many manufactured events in the past, and there will be more in the future, don’t allow yourself to be programmed…

See how actor Steven Seagal explains the truth in this short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVdqiUE3DHE

I don’t know how he survived – the grace of God maybe or he was very fortunate to have someone put tight tourniquets on both legs soon enough. Or maybe they paid him a bazillion dollars to cut off his legs and stage this. I really don’t know how he survived. But it’s easy to tell that they are two different people. Jeff Bauman’s amputation’s are much lower down the leg, for one thing. Jeff Bauman has a life that you can research on the web from before and after the bombing for another.

The frustrating thing is that Boston was definitely a false flag, just different from how they portray it. It’s much easier to actually kill and maim people than to pretend to kill and maim people, especially in front of the giant crowd there was in Boston. They make the rest of us look like loons because we’re lumped in with them. They’d rather believe some loser sitting in his parent’s basement who spent months dissecting a few photographs and making up a fantasy about them than do a simple web search of their own.

Plus, you can see the guy pinching get the femoral artery in his hand. He gave interviews to that effect. This photo and argument is one of the worst “proofs” of conspiracy I’ve ever seen, and why I ignore idiots who try to foist untruths on other people.

The Boston bombing was so clearly a false flag that I’m shocked any so-called informed person still believes that depraved lie.
