    I met the younger brother tending
    a car repair shop I solicited for signs. I believe it was in North Dartmouth or neighboring New Bedford.
    He was very gracious and friendly. He was wearing his trademark hat, backwards. He offered to pass my info to the biz' owner, who was away.
    I remember walking out and thinking to myself, "Why can't everybody be that nice."
    Three weeks later, he was a mass murderer, and I was seeing his face on the news.
    No doubt in my mind that his brother had a tremendous, fatal, controlling influence over him. What a waste.

      No matter how much of an influence someone can have on another person, it's very hard to comprehend that a seemingly good kid can be persuaded to kill people. He had to believe in the cause himself in order to go through with it. Maybe not quite to the extent his brother believed in it, but enough to justify it in his mind. He also probably realized that by soon flunking out of college, with no real future in sight, this was an alternative way of giving his own life meaning and purpose.

    Perhaps it's due to the passage of time, but I found this report to be far more objective than anything else I've read/seen/heard about the brothers' experiences. It helps me, personally, to understand the factors that fueled their alienation, rather than just say of someone who performs monstrous acts, "they did it because they are monsters." This in no way is meant to lessen the impact of a series of wicked acts, to attempt to justify them, or to drum up support for their cause. It just identifies the alienation they experienced, the need for purpose in their lives, and the lack of hope they had in a future, as setting them up to make the choices they did. This was very well done, sir.

      A detailed reason is not a detailed excuse. You certainly missed the point of this comment and likely the entire impetus for the video. No rational and or critically thinking person is trying to "pardon" the crimes that we're speaking about. What some of us _are_ trying to do is understand the circumstances that lead to stuff like this happening. The horrible nature of this act is so obvious that it almost seems pointless to emphasis it and simply calling them monsters is a little reductive.

    His name is pronounced "Jahar". Dzhokhar is what you get when you take an Arabic name (Jahar), spell it out in Cyrillic (Джохар), which doesn't have the equivalent of English J or H (hence the "dzh" to make an equivalent sound to J, and the kh in place of H), then transliterate the Russian spelling into Latin characters. It's awkward and clumsy, but that's how it is.

The practical and logistical issues of having a government and those within it, in a (somewhat) modern world, collapse. What happened to the people, high ranking officials.

      @@Nick-xt2dx Well, in the country we're I live there is no real possibility to go to a school that teaches in any language but the official one, so learning the language is for many immigrants the only possibility of not entering poverty directly. Also, in my friends case, her parents demand that she can speak not just her own language fluently, which is Russian, but also the official language of my country, which is Dutch, French and German. Her German is rusty, but otherwise she can speak all of them without any trace of an accent. I think it does help that she is a girl. Most immigrants come from patriarchal societys, and most woman don't have that much to lose by embracing their new one. Most of the guys however, fall victim to this "it was better in my homeland" mentality, mostly because they do not have the status anymore that came by simply being a man.

      My cousin, a Boston PD detective at the time (he's since gotten a promotion to police sergeant), was running the marathon at the time, my cousin's wife and his kids watched them go through in Brookline, where they live, instead of waiting at the finish. My cousin was a quarter mile to half a mile away from the finish when they went off, he was luckily too slow to be caught in the blast.

      well his brother definitely contributed. if tamerlan hadnt wanted to bomb the marathon then jahar definitely wouldnt have even thought about it, though i cant say the same for the opposite. though jahar was radicalized by his brother and other anti-america media he wasnt as "dedicated" to the cause. on his twitter he tweeted abt how he hated the government and etc but it wasnt anything very extreme, honestly comparable to any average american. i think that when his brother suggested the bombing he didnt feel strongly either way, so he agreed as it would fit the idelogy they both shared. this isnt to say he didnt have a decision to do it, because its him who committed the crime, but it just offers some insight i suppose.

    • @markmcwilliams7185
      @markmcwilliams7185 Před 4 lety +8

      The residents of Watertown were not evacuated. There was a curfew put in place and residents were required to stay in their homes. A perimeter was established and we conducted searches of the houses inside that perimeter. As it happened he was found inside a boat that was outside the perimeter. Finally, shots were never fired to scare him out of the boat. I can’t speak as to exactly what transpired, I wasn’t personally on scene at the time but it has bad been established that a single officer, for some reason, fired the first shot, which resulted in numerous more officers firing, mistakenly thinking the suspect had begun shooting.

      One of the movies is based on him and his brother planning it, then doing it, and then the manhunt that followed the both of them, which ended with his brother getting killed while they were on the run, and the other movie is based on a victim who lost both of his legs at the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing, and then he ended up going into rehab, and gaining strength, without his real legs, as he lost them both back in April of 2013 in Boston, from where he lost them both in the bombings.

Maybe the brainwashing was THAT bad, and of course as a younger brother, it would be difficult to snitch on family you look up to. The mother played a big role on radicalizing Tamerlan. To me, it looks like Jahar, the yougest of the family, is paying for the sins of his mother and older brother. Crazy :(
