“I am. And I’m not afraid to say it. I’d certainly rather it be a Muslim whack job than a Christian whack job. Because whoever it is, its going to be politicized. But at this point, who knows.”

Odds are that the Marathon Bomber was a Muslim as the only white domestic terrorist bombers have been the Unibomber, Tim McVeigh, Erik Rudolph the Olympic Park Bomber and William Ayers. All the others have been Muslim.

Is today too late for Omoslem to drop a Hellfire on the perp?

They don’t rat out their jihad comrades that way, making life tougher on real Americans and happier for Obamatollah.

FOX reporting an arrest made too, and CBS on the radio here saying NO arrest has been made yet.

It would seem, for once, that they can't all be wrong.

No. Obama will pardon him and give him a czar position as an expert in bombs or cooking.

Newsmedia doesn’t appear to understand the federal system.

And people don't understand police scanners either, especially those who attempt to use them as sources for confirming information. They aren't official, so information people hear from them shouldn't be considered as confirmed.

2 possibilities:

They arrested a moslem but they’ve gotta keep him quiet so we don’t learn anything about his network so we cannot disrupt it.

OR

They broadcast “We’re about to go arrest somebody!” to spook the perps into fleeing their homes into the arms of SWAT waiting outside in a van. Safer for SWAT, and also a good indication of guilt.

As I failed to say in that post, but stated in others, the best odds are that the bomber was Muslim. I would put the odds at %75.

You would think so wouldn’t you. All the latest crime shows make it look like they can capture a portrait every second in real time if they want to.

In truth, if you’re wearing a cap, a wig, and looking down, I’m not sure they could identify you at all.

Perhaps if they can tie you to a vehicle, they could nail you down that way. Failing that, it seems like you could evade to a certain degree.

Still, you’ve got to have a real ‘get caught wish’ to try this stuff these days.

Is there any way to combine the arrest with hiring somebody to lead Obama’s “Commission on Moslem Outreach?”

In other words: “You have the right to remain silent, please choose a health plan and parking spot.”

CNN has backed off the arrest claim, and is now saying no arrest has been made. It is not even clear whether they have identified the person in the videos.

CBS now saying suspect is “white male.”

Also, CNN is a joke.

Orr said authorities have video of a man in a black jacket on a cell phone, wearing a gray hoodie and a white baseball cap backwards placing a black bag at the second bomb site outside of the Forum restaurant on Boylston Street and then leaving the area before that explosion.

Orr said the man was on the phone at the second bomb site when the first bomb exploded.

Orr said the FBI looked at time man was on his cell phone and then went back and scanned all the calls made in the area to track who they wanted to talk to. http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/04/17/cnn-boston-marathon-bombings-suspect-identified-in-surveillance-video/
