Boston: Questions Grow - Everything The Police Has Done Led To More Questions, Than Answers
27 April 2013

Flags continue to fly at half mast in Boston,
Massachusetts after the mysterious bombing at the
Boston Marathon. On Tuesday, April 16, over 1500
neighbors attended a candlelight vigil for the Richard
family of Dorchester, who lost 8 year boy Martin,
while his sister lost a leg and his mother's eyes were
seriously injured. The clock at Peabody Square has
been stopped at 2:50, "the time on Monday when our
world stopped," writes Bill Forry of the Dorchester
Reporter. The fence around the clock, draped with
black cloth, contains a memorial for little Martin,
filled with bouquets of flowers, balloons, teddy
bears, and prayers written by children. It is nearly
impossible to walk by without becoming choked up by
tears. Local elementary schools held a moment of
silence at 2:50pm on the first Monday back to school
after the worst April vacation ever. The people of
Dorchester are definitely taking the attack very
personally.
"Martin was only 8 and he still held his mother's hand
last Friday when they walked to the Tedeschi's for a
gallon of milk. Martin wasn't a saint and he shouldn't
be made a martyr or a symbol. He was a little boy who
got killed because someone – some unknown person or
group – has perceived grievance against us. Our world
has stopped… The day will come when justice is done
for Martin. We will wait – all of us together – for
that day," writes Forry.
Boston, Cambridge and Watertown residents were all
told by the Massachusetts governor to stay inside
their homes on Friday, and not to allow anyone in but
police SWAT teams, who scoured the area for a missing
suspect, entered homes without warrants and pointed
guns at residents' heads while ordering them out of
their homes. After the lockdown order was lifted a
Watertown resident wandered into his yard, then the 19
year old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was located and shot
several times by police, then taken into custody with
wounds to the throat that will forever prevent him
from speaking. His brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev was
already killed in a previous firefight with police, in
which an explosive was detonated, leaving a hole in
the street. The facts of the case are extremely
confusing, with conflicting eyewitness reports, and
huge amounts of photography circulating online.
Curiously, the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston
including the local police totally ignored the
citywide lockdown. People were warmer than usual,
walking around in the sunshine or painting their
houses in pleasant non-compliance with the citywide
order to stay inside. All businesses except for
government buildings were open. It seems that a lot of
people have made the intention to connect more deeply
with their local community. There is widespread belief
that the two suspects, who emigrated to the US about a
decade ago, are indeed guilty of the Boston bombings.
There is among the local community also almost blind
faith in the authorities' version of events, though
the surviving suspect was not provided with a lawyer
and all we know is what we have been told on TV, which
keeps changing. Meanwhile the world community reacts
with massive skepticism.
Probably the most plausible explanation is that the
two brothers were set up by the FBI. 17 out of 20 of
the last "terror arrests" since 9/11 were actually FBI
frame-ups, according to Fox News. The two suspects
definitely fit the profile of the emotionally
vulnerable pot-smoking, drunken loners who lacked any
community support from their local religious
community; foreign students with divorced parents who
live overseas. No one was able to protect or guide
them or notice what they were up to.
Justin Raimondo reports on antiwar.com that the
brothers' mother Zubeidat, speaking from her home in
Russia, claimed the FBI had been keeping watch on her
eldest boy for up to five years. She said: "They knew
what my son was doing. They knew what sites on the
internet he was going to. They were telling me that he
was really an extremist leader and that they were
afraid of him. They told me whatever information he is
getting, he gets from these extremist sites. They were
controlling him."
Were the two just terror patsies who received money
for agreeing to bomb something? Indeed, the car they
drove and the clothes they wore did not seem to
correspond with their actual life status as poor
students working minimum wage jobs on the side. The
police response to their crime was like nothing Boston
has ever seen. Even people who believe the suspects to
be guilty were shocked by the liquidation of rule of
law as well as the police's brutality, either killing
or permanently silencing the suspects, so that we can
never hear their side of the story.
One of the most bizarre events of Friday's lockdown
was the police decision to raze the home in which the
suspects reportedly lived in Cambridge. Official
reports claim that explosives were found in the house,
and therefore the entire house needed to be exploded
to ensure that no explosives went off unintentionally.
Friends in Cambridge reported that all the neighbors
came out of their homes to watch the home demolition.
With the the suspects' home exploded, we lose any
evidence about their motives. What if there were
diaries, books, personal letters, or official
documents in there that would give us some
information? Everything that the police has done has
led to more questions, rather than answers.
What we do know is that neither son was a leader of
any religious or political organization. The tweets
publicized online seem to imply that he had almost
zero personal opinions.
