Back at college, suspect called Boston bombs "crazy": classmate

Working out at the gym at their sleepy New England college, two students chatted about how "crazy" it was that bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon. Three days later, one of them was named a prime suspect.

Returning to campus on Sunday after being evacuated on Friday during a massive manhunt for the bombers, students at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth swapped recollections of seeing Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, back in the dorm, at class and in the gym in the aftermath of the bombings.

Tsarnaev was working out in the gym from 8 to 10 p.m. on Tuesday, listening to music on his iPod, when he struck up a conversation with fellow sophomore Zach Bettencourt.

"It's crazy this is happening now," Bettencourt recalled Tsarnaev telling him when the bombings came up. "This (these bombings) is so easy to do. These tragedies happen all the time in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Reuters was unable to confirm the conversation with Tsarnaev, who was hospitalized, unable to speak and does not yet have a lawyer.

Right.
Pre-planned mass murder of innocents in not a tragedy.

Our bridges here? Haven’t heard! DoO decided that we would take a full day off from TV news today, given it’s Sunday and all.

The family was let in US as asylum. Father swore he feared for his life in Dagestan. Father, and now divorced mother, voluntarily moved back to Dagestan prior to young perps naturalization. Since parents admitted the asylum was a fraud by moving back, send them all back unnaturalized.

A school spokesman declined to say whether at that point on Thursday Tsarnaev was still on campus, about 60 miles south of Boston.

It's obvious the school didn't bother calling the cops. Can you say harboring a criminal?

He had a choice between concentrating on his studies and make good one day or make bombs with his psycho brother to kill little kids. It’s his own fault he is soon headed to meet his 72 virgins.

His laid back relaxed attitude should be a wake up call to all those who don’t believe muzzies will lie to infidels at the drop of a hat.

I wonder if he would have placed a bomb behind his 3 year old niece.
