My speculation:

The gunfire exchange was one sided. He was unarmed.

It doesn't.

Pulled him out in this context could mean they just talked him out. Its a poor choice of words and can be fishy. For all we know he fell back into the boat or passed out minutes later and it was omitted.

neither does the official story of 9/11. That proved they can do whatever the fuck they want

Could be colloquial like, "We're taking fire! We're pulling out of here!"

He could have stepped out on his own, at which point they got close to pull him away.

I have been wondering this as well. I heard that he was injured in the shootout last night, escaped on foot and came across this boat and decided to hide. If that's the case, he was in that boat (bleeding) for at least 8 hours. Supposedly, the owner of the boat noticed a "pool of blood" but I don't know if that's true.

I listened to the whole thing on the scanner. When the helicopters first came, they reported there was no movement in the boat. So then they used flash bangs and he began moving a lot, "frantically". Then a few moments after the flash bangs they again reported "no movement in the boat." To me this seems consistent with him being very injured, perhaps in a semi-conscious state from the loss of blood.

So, how is it that a skinny kid who has spent half a day losing blood has the strength to lift himself out of a boat?

At what time do you think the flashbangs went off vs. what the time that he came out of the boat?

This is exactly what I heard. Along with the infrared readings that there was a half a tank of gas at the stern of the boat, yet they still went ahead with the flash-bangs. Soon after they called in federal HRT and the signal was quiet until he was shown in the ambulance on the news.

Yes, it was a 40 gallon tank that was about half full. For a moment they thought they spotted a flame on the bloat. Soon after that, they asked for radio silence, and it went dead for 5-10 mins until it was over..."WATCH YA MICS WATCH YA MICS"

I have listened to scanner feeds for years, and this one could have won an oscar, it was so dramatic and perfectly orchestrated. Luckily, I typed it up while I was listening.

Did you also hear when someone came across that there "was an uplink and there are listeners on the internet. do you want that taken out?" "yes." That was fucked up. Please share your typings, if you can.

"We have a problem with your downlink being broadcast on the internet

Do want us to terminate that downlink?

You can’t coast a downlink is that correct?"

And that was the end of that guys voice....I heard somewhere it was actually an officers dash cam being broadcast, but who knows.

There was so much activity on the scanner it was hard to keep up, and they were using a lot of codes and police jargon. I'll have to go through it and take out some names and addresses, but I think I will post it.

Please deliver!

That was what I heard, thanks.

he was in that boat (bleeding) for at least 8 hours.

Do you know the extent of his wounds?

not sure if this has any relation, but it, at least, appears that part of this image of the suspect being arrested is blurred: http://i.imgur.com/0eXVvXz.jpg

Every face that could be seen in that video is blurred out, except for the suspects. Look at 1:27. Those faces are blurred too.

The video shows them walking across the same area, you can cross index the blurred out person you're talking about to the man standing in the doorway at 2:00 in the video who is clearly not blurred out. He makes the same hand motions and appears to just be warming himself up. If you want further evidence suggesting this follow the woman walking in front of the brothers with the bright blue jacket and yellow balloons, it's hard to miss those colors.

I'm not sure how you make the jump to that being definitive evidence of a Craft operative but whatever.

So NOW they have "state-of-the-art thermal imaging cameras." Where were these when he was throwing bombs at police and escaping from them?

There are logistics involved in flying a helo, namely flight checks, fueling, and the fact that there wasn't a helo just hovering in the vicinity of MIT before anything popped off.

No mannn, it's totally like in the movies where my completely uninformed assumptions are the truth.

BUT, they had them at a standoff for 20-30 minutes, with the full help of the FBI on a manhunt for this kid. You would think they would have something more helpful than the eyesight of a few of their officers...

You would think...

Yes, but we can't just make assumptions off of hypotheticals. It's very possible that they're withholding video from a helo to hide something, or that they specifically refrained from using the helo for the same reason, or they just didn't have a helo at that specific time for any number of reasons.

In all those videos around the time of the shootout, and "capture" of the first brother, we never see a spotlight, and it was made pretty clear that the area was dark as shit. They probably would have benefit from some illumination. They could have intentionally called off the helo, but we probably would have heard that over the air. Did anyone in the area at the time see or hear a helo? It's very likely that they weren't able to get one up on such short notice. Though, I'd imagine them to be a little more prepared.

That doctor was talking about the older brother, who did die of multiple gunshot wounds and damage from an explosive.

Video.

link to original video?

apparently it was a surveillance photo taken by a helicopter, at least that is what is reported in the video

"Cops who had lost one of their own the night before rolled him over and immediately began treating wounds to his neck and leg that might have been fatal had he not been found." Taken from The Daily Beast article.

Was that "entire trunk" statement in reference to the younger or the older brother?

PIC was a surveillance photo of the kid getting in the boat not coming out.
