FBI page link: Boston Bombing Suspects: 2 very average looking guys, wow.

I don't get why everyone is so surprised that they look "normal". What did you guys think they would look like?

Like a stereotypical Arab or a stereotypical right wing nut of course. That's what would be the most probable.

Definitely dark hair, darker skin, maybe mixed race, possible middle east mix, hispanic mix. Fairly young, 20s, 30s.

Definitely not blonde hair and blue eyes like some may have hoped.

I wonder if there are other photos or video of the two guys without the backpacks.

Does it appear the bags are carrying something as large as a pressure cooker?

So far, it's consistent with my theory that every guy that walks around with a cap on backwards is an a$$ and is not to be trusted!

The do look young. But what if they are using make up and wigs to make themselves appear like average college students. Either they are really dumb and will be recognized/caught soon or they are not and the investigators will have a lot more work to do.

I'm actually glad it's an American nut job vs muslim terrorist

Not only yes, it is sticking out of the backpack.

I'm telling you, I wouldn't be surprised if these two did this for no other reason than to see if they could, like Leopold & Loeb.

I've known some young kids like that and it absolutely wouldn't shock me.

The cap backwards tells me they're not too bright. Wouldn't you want your face covered as much as possible. They have to know there's cameras everywhere and there would be a worldwide manhunt for them. Pretty stupid looking, both of them.

Given the Lord and Taylor security cam is 24/7 (I would assume), it would be likely that they cased the scene at some point, unless it was truly spontaneous and random where they placed the bombs. So possibly prior days or months, or even last year's race, or this year's mile, 5k, or 13.1 (if same finish).

What am I missing here? No where do I see either of these guys set their packs down. Did they not release all of the footage or pictures? These guys don't look any different or more suspicious than any one in the other pictures amateur sluthers have posted.

Anyone else notice that the woman in the FBI video (blue jacket) is holding 3 yellow balloons while walking in front of the suspects?

Now go watch the explosion video.

See the 3 balloons rising from the smoke?? Do you think it those were that ladies?? It's pretty crazy if true.

Look at the round silver thing on the guy's back. What do you think it is?

The good news is there's clearly enough showing that they will be caught. There's nowhere to hide for these two. They're good as caught now. By Sunday they get them.

The video is sort of grainy/skippy, but I'll be mildly surprised if somebody doesn't eventually recognize the guy in the white hat.

He looks relatively young, with sort of a big nose, a weak chin, a bad mustache (now shaved probably), and sort of a distinctive hat (pure white, backwards). Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but I think his look is distinctive enough that somebody will ID him.

Can anyone figure out what's on the white hat? The logo on the side almost looks like the NFL "shield" logo.

I'm not going to say I told you so but, I told you so.

FYI: Here's the black hat photo in Bridgestone Golf site:

Here's the problem for us taxpayers, they are young, which means they will spend 60-70 years each in prison at our expense. That is not justice.

If she stayed where she stopped, this would put those two guys a few seconds from walking past the spot the bomb went off. It also puts them walking in the opposite direction of the second bomb which doesn't make sense.

There must be some other visual evidence which make these two stick out to the FBI...such as the same two walking without their backpacks or maybe both backpacks match the evidence recovered.
