These killers are not White. They are not White Russians
who did this killing in Boston. Other suspects have also been taken
into custody. These brothers may look a little White, they are not. In
fact, if they look anything ... they look Jewish!!

Boston Marathon bomber manhunt: One suspect dead, second on the run

BOSTON—A late-night police chase and shootout has left one marathon
bombing suspect dead and another on the run, police here said, as
residents of the still-grieving city were ordered by officials to
"shelter in place" while the manhunt continues. One police officer was
killed and another was seriously wounded during the violent spree.
The Associated Press identified the surviving Boston bomb suspect as
Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass., and said that the
suspects were brothers. The second bombing suspect is Tamerlan Tsarnaev,
26, according to NBC News, who was found with an IED on his body. The
brothers are of Chechen origin, according to NBC, a volatile part of
Russia's North Caucasus. Photographer Johannes Hirn took this photo essay of the older brother, a boxer. The captions suggest Tsarnaev came to America as a child with his family as refugees after fleeing Chechnya for Kazakhstan.
The suspects' uncle told the local CBS News station
that the pair had lived in the country since 2001. The uncle, told one
of his nephews was killed, replied that he deserved it. “He deserved
his. He absolutely deserved his,” Ruslan Tsarni said. “They do not
deserve to live on this earth.”
Tsarnaev's father, reached by the AP in Russia by phone, said his son was a "true angel" and wonderful student.

At sunrise, Gov. Deval Patrick ordered a shutdown of all public
transit and residents on the edges of Boston to stay indoors as a
massive manhunt for the second suspect was underway. The entire city in
Boston was under a shelter in place order by late Friday morning.
“This situation is grave and we are trying to protect the public
safety,” said Massachusetts State Police Col. Timothy Alben, who ordered
a lockdown of Watertown, Waltham, Belmont, Cambridge, Newton, Allston
and Brighton. A no fly zone has been declared over Watertown.
Federal agents swarmed Watertown after local police were involved in a
car chase and shootout with the men identified Thursday by the FBI as
Suspect 1 and Suspect 2 in the Boston bombings. During the pursuit,
officers could be heard on police radio traffic describing the men as
having handguns, grenades and other explosives.
NBC reported that authorities had taken a third and fourth person, whose identifies are unknown, into custody Friday morning.
The mayhem began at approximately 10:20 p.m. Thursday when police
said the bombing suspects robbed a 7-Eleven store in Cambridge. Minutes
later, police said, the men shot and killed an MIT campus officer
responding to the robbery call. The terror suspects then carjacked a
Mercedes-Benz with the driver inside and fled, eventually letting driver
go. They were then spotted in Watertown where they exchanged dozens of
rounds of gunfire with patrol officers.
