2nd year? That means he already got by the hard part. What an idiot. What a waste.
I can only agree...
This must be intensely hard on the immediate families - esp with the kind of pressure put on their personal lives by being in the spotlight, from the news media, from the public, and from the authorities themselves.
Indeed! I can understand why the uncle says they have nothing to do with the suspects.
Can they trace the tweets from his phone/computer?
I think so... though, I don't know.
^ I seen somewhere that they had traced a tweet or something. They translated it but I still didn't understand what it meant, it might have even been on here?
From what I thought it meant was that they were all in a police car being taken to jail, but that never happened so who knows...
That could have been something I posted from the younger brothers VK-profile. Though, I don't know either.
Update:
Two black military helicopters just flew low over Watertown.

Gilberto Junior, a Cambridge mechanic who worked on cars for the Tsarnaevs for the last two years, said the younger brother brought a car in two weeks ago for repairs, nominally for his girlfriend.
Tsarnaev said he needed the car immediately, though Junior said he told the young man that was not possible - the car, a Mercedes, needed a rear bumper and taillights.
"Very nervous - he was biting his fingernails and shaking his legs," said Junior, who is originally from Brazil.
At the time, Junior added, he chalked up the shaking to Tsarnaev just being a nervous teenager.
The crowd on Cambridge St grew slightly by early afternoon, as rumors flew about when the police might conduct a planned controlled explosion. Officials on the scene would not confirm a time.
Meanwhile, just steps away, the barbecue restaurant Tupelo set up a table on its front steps and gave away what was to have been the evening's menu - ribs, pulled pork, coleslaw and cornbread.
Next door, in defiance of a police request for all businesses to close, Troy & Anthony's Barbershop was packed - two men getting cuts and three more waiting for a trim.

NBC, Brian Williams asks Tamerlan Tsarnaev's boxing coach what might have happened to "weaponize" the now-deceased suspect. Coach says he does not know, describes the at-large 19-year-old younger brother Dzhokhar as an "introvert" but that Tamerlan was an "extrovert" and "a very good boxer."
Aunt bought the brothers to the US, she says. "They liked the US. If they don't like, they leave".
NBC News reporting that police have swarmed an apartment in West New York, NJ to speak to a woman believed to be the Tsarnaev suspects' sister.
Aunt: "They couldn't have done this. I'm suspicious the picture was staged". "Both normal, smart guys. Their father had high expectation, and always demanded more."
