[Meet the New Boss]

People now know who he is (and his friend). Go to reddit. Both are apparently runners (in high school, I believe). These guys had nothing to do with it (barring some more compelling evidence than a backpack -- in a sea of backpacks). Plenty of pictures and info on that thread.

One fact that would seem to point away from these guys being the bombers is that they are in a photo where the race clock shows 2:18. The bomb exploded around 4:09.

Would real bombers stand around for 2 hours watching the race with pressure cookers on their backs full of shrapnel and gunpowder? Or would they get in shortly before, leave the bombs and get out quickly?

Either way, these guys need to be checked out closely and determined if they are the bombers so that if not, LEO resources can shift to more fruitful directions.

Until they're identified, all the pictures without surrounds are useless. It's what makes the Lord & Taylor pictures relevant.

For the life of me, I can't think of a good reason for not putting them out there. Someone might have seen them talking to someone else or have a photo of them on the move. If it was orders from Obama because they're Muslim, he should be tried as a traitor.

And I think there's a bunch of them...9 altogether.

No, the bomb exploded around 2:50 PM.
