FINAL OPEN THREAD: 2nd Bomber Apprehended

Figured it's worth an update after 12 hours:

* Second suspect was arrested, alive, brought to Mount Auburn hospital in Cambridge, MA. He went and hid in a boat after they lifted the travel restriction. Very sneaky, Boston Police.

* Still finding unidentifiable bags around Watertown where the second suspect was holed up.

* Three other people were arrested by the FBI in New Bedford, not far from UMass Dartmouth where the second suspect was a student. No other word on this yet.

* At some point today, the police scanners reported an old man, approximately 60-70 years old, with a bomb vest. No word whatsoever on what happened after they got to him.

He'll be in solitary at the Colorado prison if they don't execute him, provided he's found guilty in a trial. He wasn't read his Miranda rights either according to a press conference immediately after the arrest given by the Governor, Mayor, the FBI, et al. Federal bombing statues have an exemption for Miranda rights (I think I recall that correctly).

Yeah, that's what they said about the Miranda rights. I was surprised to hear "Mirandize" as a sort of verb (like, "they will not Mirandize him right away").

Yes, and it only remains to be seen if they do not also combatanize and Padilla-ize him.

Haha :)

they would have to put him in solitary, I'm sure there are plenty of inmates with strong feelings about the bombing, particularly over the 8-year old being killed.

the most we can hope for is to get him buried in secrecy so his grave don't get violated!
