Boat Where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Hid 'Looked Like Swiss Cheese' After Shootout

Boat Where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Hid 'Looked Like Swiss Cheese' After Shootout Tsarnaev was found when Watertown man looked underneath tarpaulin and found the Boston bombing suspect inside

Adam Gabbatt 20 April 2013 The boat that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found hiding in looked like "Swiss cheese" after the Boston bombing suspect's shootout with police, the boat's owner told neighbours.

Tsarnaev was taken into custody after a Watertown resident, named locally as David Henneberry, went to check on his boat and found Tsarnaev inside. Swat teams moved in and a gun fight ensued, resulting in Tsarnaev being captured. He is in hospital in a serious condition.

On Saturday, Henneberry was being hailed as the man who helped end a tense 22-hour manhunt, which, until his phone call to police, had been fruitless.

But it came at a cost. The boat – a source of immense pride for the owner, according to local residents – was no longer seaworthy, being, as it was, riddled with bullet holes.

"He said the boat was like Swiss cheese," said one neighbour, who did not want to give her name but lived a few doors down from the boat owner.

The resident said she had spoken to Henneberry on Friday night, after police had taken away the suspect.

How many times do we have to repeat this - there was NO robbery. The 7-11 was where the SUV's owner was able to run into and call 911.

WRONG. There WAS A ROBBERY at the 7-11 - the two bombers were NOT involved in the robbery, Boston police have confirmed this and secondly, the SUV's owner ran into a gas station.

That’s going to be a very interesting insurance claim.

“The boat might be worth a small fortune to someone who collects historical hardware”

They could put it next to Bonnie and Clyde’s car.

My TV told me all day that the cops wanted to take this guy alive!

Then I watched the final confrontation, and the cops must have blasted off a few hundred or so rounds into the boat.

What happened to the “take the bastard alive” order????

Sorry if I seem a bit “attituded” today, but I am just so angry!

I hear you. We're all angry.

Our people get murdered and blown apart by vile Islamonazi thugs, and all Obama can do is tell Americans, "don't to rush to judgement." As if it takes any judgement at all to see the evil right before our eyes. It's been staring us in the face for decades.

Obama and the rest of the suicidal left are actually covering for these monsters. That's abject treason, and needs to be called such, in every conversation we have on the matter.

It's time for the Republicans in Congress to find their spines, and call Obama and his minions out for the terrorist appeasing cowards they are. I can think of a couple who have that sort of mettle, but I don't have a whole lot of faith in the rest. It's they who have to get angry now. The people are in a burning rage over this atrocity.

But that’s the whole point...they won’t!

That “1st shot fired” will come from our side, I know they are pushing us to do exactly that.

However, like Sarah stated, they underestimate us, just as they do everything else.

It will be bloody, but well worth keeping.

To those of you whom are stalking me ....FU, UP YOURS!

Yes, I have now declared war upon you. Come after me you little metro’s. I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU.

To that little “man” who decided to stop at my truck and call me racist but NOT have the balls to get out and fight it out, FU! Same to the bastard who wrote that vile crap, in permanent marker, on my truck.

Bunch of metro p&*^%$s!

Apparently I am NOT having a good day. =)

Inch by inch (or is it foot by foot now?) they're pushing the people into a corner from which they'll explode with a force and anger that will burn the scum from this nation with a cleansing fire.

Yes, they very much underestimate us. They've completely forgotten what kind of beat-down Americans can (and will) deliver when they've finally had enough.

It's coming, and it's because the other side simply will not stop until one or the other of us is burnt to ashes.

The reason for this is that these holes are intentionally made by the manufacturer so as to prevent large air pockets from developing in the crackers during baking. These holes are typically referred to as "docking holes" among insiders in the cracker baking industry.
