damn this thread is moving too fast for me to catch up.
my views on this
the story doesnt make sense. how did they lose the brothers during a car chase? you have every cop there on high alert and you would think that the standard protocol would be to follow em by helicopter in case the cop cars lost em.
they proceed to LOCK DOWN an area trying to find this 1 person? WTH even christopher dorner didnt have that. but he did have a freakin drone on his ***.
I followed it really closely from when the MIT shooting happened til the morning, and from what I understand....they thought they were after the wrong brother and that influenced all of their immediate decisions.
One brother was a psycho soldier...the other, a scared punk.
They stole the SUV, killed the cop at MIT and were driving west towards CT. They cops caught them in Watertown and had the big shootout.
During the shootout they throw bombs and grenades at the cops, sending them running for cover, entrenched and surrounded by smoke. The older psycho runs at the cops gets killed and even run over by the young brother. The younger punk brother gets shot, drives the **** outta there, ditches the car quick, then doubles back and runs east TOWARDS the cops, back towards MIT.
Their mistake was assuming, with all the cops at MIT and all the cops at the shootout, there was no way he'd head back in that direction. And they probably didn't realize he was on foot that quick.
He probably just got lucky to get past them in the sticks, cuz it was 2 in the morning, everyone in the neighborhood was shook and locked down and no one saw some kid running through their backyards.
The cops kept expecting another psycho. They figured they're gonna get a call of shots fired soon, or he's gonna blow something up or try his best to get away. Instead this punk, just wanted to find a hole to crawl in and die. So while the cops are setting a perimeter around the neighborhood of the shootout towards CT. He was behind them, crawling into that boat and probably cried himself to sleep.
If they didn't have the lockdown, he would've been found in the morning. But at the same time, maybe he's more conscious and goes out guns blazing. Iono.
