-As far as I've seen, there is one image that *maybe* shows he is not wearing a bad after the bomb.

- All police cars have video cameras now. Not one of them shot the chase or the arrest of the older brother. There are also no CCTV of this. Only images from a distance taken by others.

- The media TOTALLY botched this story. Info has been all over. It has been very poorly covered by everyone with conflicting information.

- There was one person "of interest" the FBI had before the brothers were suspects.

- One of the brothers is dead. The other captured.

- The dead brother had ties with terrorists, or at least was warned by Russia he did. The FBI checked him out and even talked to him. He came up clean.

- Everyone who knows them thinks they were set up. Even their friends.

- Everyone else is 100% convinced the brothers are guilty.

- If they did do it, they clearly didn't care about getting caught, or were not finished with their plans. Or, you could argue they didn't do it and that was why they didn't worry.

- In the age of a billion cameras, there is no footage of either brother putting the bags down or any 100% clear shots of both of them without the bags. There is also no footage of any gun battles with them. Only audio. There are eye witnesses who said there was no explosion when the older brother was killed. There are other witnesses who said there was. Either you heard / saw an explosion or you didn't, that is not something you mistake for a car alarm.

- Now it is said one brother ran the other over. Some sources say the brother blew himself up. Some say the police tackled him when he ran out of ammo. There is no proof of either, other than a single image of the dead brother with a large wound on his side.

- Even with the 1000s of police looking for him, it took a single civilian going out for a smoke to find the younger brother in his boat.

- Oddly, when captured, the younger brother did not blow himself up or put up much of a fight. Maybe he was out of ammo and explosives?

**** Boston was more or less militarized in a matter of a day, they went door to door without warrants and everyone just let them in, choosing safety over their personal property rights. Out of this entire story, THAT is the most impressive and disturbing part of the whole thing. An entire city just rolled over out of fear of one 19 year old kid.

Having said all of that, that is a very confusing, messy story with very little actual proof of anything other than what we have been told and a single image showing one brother possibly not having on a backpack. At this point it doesn't matter if they are guilty or not, because one is dead and the other may as well be. I would think that with all the cameras on police cars, all the CCTV around the city, and everyone who has a phone, that there would be more public visual evidence of the case and capture, or more images of them without the backpacks. There is no shortage of images them IN the backpacks, but only one questionable image of one brother without (unless I haven't seen them). So yea, very messy story. A lot of questions to be answered.
