April 19, 201313 yr Author The suspect at large said in the past "I do not understand Americans. U.S. I have no friends since I came to this country."
April 19, 201313 yr I am pretty sure that quote was from the older brother who is now dead. At least it was attributed to him in the two reports I read.
April 19, 201313 yr Something's going on....Another subject seems to have a "dead man's switch".... What is that? bomb detonator? I dead man's switch I believe is a bomb detonator that when you pull the trigger, you arm the bomb, when you release the trigger, the bomb explodes. The are used in the hope police will not shoot the guy with it because police know if shot, he will release the trigger and everyone around the bomber dies.
April 19, 201313 yr A dead man's switch is essentially a trigger that is pressed and when released it will detonate the bomb. So if you shoot the suspect it would cause them to release the trigger and blow up. Sorry, didn't see someone already answered this.
April 19, 201313 yr Author I am pretty sure that quote was from the older brother who is now dead. At least it was attributed to him in the two reports I read. Sorry, I think you are correct. I'm tired and tried to translate from Romanian, add the two up and it's hard to translate.
April 19, 201313 yr Exactly I'm less concerned with info than other people's safety. The FBI is great as piecing things together once they know where and whom to look at, dead or alive. Sure alive helps but then your assuming they'll give up anything. If they're extremists, then I'd say we are better off that they're dead. If these guys have help, obtaining info from the suspect could be just as crucial to safety, if not more crucial than actually killing him...
April 19, 201313 yr Something to do with a ladder being somewhere at a place it wasn't an hour ago. Police going to search.
April 19, 201313 yr If these guys have help, obtaining info from the suspect could be just as crucial, if not more crucial than actually killing him... Sure but if it comes down to him dead or more lives lost trying to apprehend him like it did earlier this morning/last night then I'm good with the guys dead and the FBI left with trying to piece it together in the following weeks. Yes alive is great, but stopped is the most important thing in my mind at this point. I'm sure they're trying to take him alive if possible though for the reasons you've mentioned.
April 19, 201313 yr It's a ladder with a pallet of something on top of it at the rear of a building that the police are going to check. The ladder and pallet were not there an hour ago.
April 19, 201313 yr Woman just called the police and said her mother texted her that she is being held hostage by a man with a gun.
April 19, 201313 yr Woman just called the police and said her mother texted her that she is being held hostage by a man with a gun. ......who let her keep her phone so she can text her daughter? :idunno:
