Marathon Bombing ‘Hero’ Questioned By FBI, Police At Boston Home http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/04/17/marathon-bombing-hero-questioned-by-fbi-police-at-boston-home/
I assumed so, but why would his clothes have more trace chemicals on them than any other item in the vicinity? Are they gathering everybody's clothes?
They must have found something about his behavior or story to be fishy. That'd be my guess. As far as the clothing, I'm not sure, but I'd think if he had built the bomb, then there'd be telltale signs of the chemicals on his clothing. Versus chemicals burned up in the explosion?
Bingo. That's the "curious" part. If they are specifically picking up HIS clothes, it suggests that they might suspect his involvement somehow. For the sake of what's left of everyone's faith in humanity I sure hope he wasn't involved, but it does make me wonder what the red flag was.
All I can do is speculate. Sicko people who commit crimes like this may want to watch the action take place. Maybe he said something to someone that was suspicious. Maybe his story was inconsistent with the facts as known. If I have the timeline right, they sought him out after the news accounts of his heroism.
This reminds me of the security guard who found the pipe bomb in Atlanta during the Olympics and was run through the ringer before they determined he had nothing to do with it and had saved many lives. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Jewell
Heh Richard Jewell v. NBC Jewell sued NBC News for this statement, made by Tom Brokaw: "The speculation is that the FBI is close to making the case. They probably have enough to arrest him right now, probably enough to prosecute him, but you always want to have enough to convict him as well. There are still some holes in this case".[12] Even though NBC stood by its story, the network agreed to pay Jewell $500,000.[9] Chris Hayes on his new "All In" show on MSNBC spent a good part of his show ragging on CNN for getting it wrong about a suspect being dark skinned. Then at the end of the show, he corrected a similar mistake he himself made earlier in the show. Go figure
And conspicuously try help those they crippled? Seems like it would be a new level of twisted to me -- has anything like that been seen and conclusively proven before? Say it ain't so.
I remember a fairly recent story about a guy who set fire to his house, killing his children. His intent was to rescue them to look like some sort of hero. I found this, too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_syndrome
Right, but in that example -- if accurate -- the man wasn't trying to actually hurt them; he just wanted to put them in a dangerous situation. Those bombs were clearly intended to wound, dismember, and kill. Obviously it's conceivable for a person to be that messed up in the head, but I'm not aware of any comparable case.
