The sun is going down on an incredible day of searching unsuccessfully for Suspect 2. A guess - he was wounded in the early morning gunfight, hid out, passed out and bled out. If he is well enough hidden he will eventually be found by smell.
MUCH LATER: It's always in the last place you look, after you stop looking:
After authorities relaxed the lockdown with Tsarnaev still at large late Friday afternoon, David Henneberry headed outside and noticed that the tarp had become unsecured — something it had not done during the blizzards that hit Boston this winter. That, as boat owners know, simply will not do, so he went to fix it.
Ending the lockdown led to the discovery and capture of Suspect 2.
I'll drink to that!

The only person who is doing a better job of hiding is Shep Smith.
He must have know they weren't Tea Partiers on Tuesday and decided to call it a week.

Wait wait-- the Bros walked into 7-11 with the stolen debit card to quietly remove $800 from the cash machine-- and there was a robbery going on at THAT moment. Pardon my French, but are you shittin' me? what is this a Quentin Tarrentino flick. And now older bro was questioned by the FBI 2 years ago, he self-certified as NON-Jihadi, and case closed? WTF?

Hey, TM, you stole my 3 hour old theory that the perp was dead. The authorities have figured as much and pulled back waiting for the smell. It will come tomorrow about mid-day.
I think he is down in the tunnels. Great places to hide and die. Lots of nooks and crannies. Only the maintenance guys will notice. But boy, will they notice.

I am outside not watching Fox but went in for more wine (heh!) and saw that Dr. K made an important differential between nationalistic Chechynans and religious. I say Tamberlan was in the religious category and convinced naive younger brother. As a father of a young man I can understand how that can happen. No apologies but that can happen to even the most innocent of us all.

Killed him--hiding in a boat in a yard in Watertown, Franklin Street. Confirmed per Fox News
Posted by: anonamom | April 19, 2013 at 07:12 PM
Some homeowner is said to have noticed blood in the shed and on the boat and called the police and then there was 20 to 30 rounds fired. Probably all 9 mm hollow points. So much for taking the mook alive.

The amount of tax paid lawyering up is going to be frightening. William Kunstler is no longer available and Lynne Stewart is behind bars.
And, of course, we need to have him alive so we can find out why he did this! I don't need to hear from him.
Posted by: Frau Rechtsverdreher | April 19, 2013 at 07:49 PM
Cool. Wish I had thermal imagining. I'll have to put that on my Christmas list along with a double-barrelled shotgun, and tazer, although I prefer using a tazer. I hope they get him alive, but it doesn't appear likely. If he lives, I picture Bill Ayers as his pen pal with Ramsey Clarke as his defense.
God Bless the victims. May the surviving perp rot in hell.

We were taking earlier about the argument for immigration reform--that it would be too hard to deport the illegals. Odd, isn't it that many who argue that think confiscation of unregistered weapons would be feasible. Here are the firearm figures:Number of Privately Owned Firearms
The estimated total number of guns held by civilians in the United States is 270,000,0001
CompareRate of Civilian Firearm Possession per 100 Population
The rate of private gun ownership in the United States is 88.81 firearms per 100 people

They have a robot looking for explosives.
They don't know if he won't or can't get out of the boat.
