This is a bizarre development in the Boston bombing case:
ORLANDO, Fla. -- An FBI agent shot and killed a man early Wednesday morning in Orlando who had ties to one of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings, the FBI has confirmed.That's a story from Orlando TV station WESH -- and I must say I'm enjoying the story's comment thread, because it suggests that there's a conservative crack-up under way, pitting Alex Jones wingnuts who think the entire Boston story is a lie against Fox/talk radio/Atlas Shrugs wingnuts who think it's outrageous that we haven't begun an anti-Muslim genocide in America:
According to officials, a special agent and two Massachusetts State Police troopers were interviewing the suspect regarding his connections to bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev and other extremists. The suspect, identified by the FBI as Ibragim Todashev, was originally cooperative, but he was shot after attacking the agent, the FBI said.
Investigators said Todashev confessed to the FBI that he played a role in a triple murder in 2011 in which three men were murdered in an apartment in Waltham, Mass. Their throats had been cut, and their bodies were covered with marijuana, authorities said. No suspects had been arrested in that case, but officials were investigating whether Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who knew at least one of the victims, was involved....
nothing to see here folks.More or less the same discussion is taking place in Michelle Malkin's comments:
****
so wait people connected to the boston bombings, in florida were questioned early today...than released....and later killed by fbi...hm...
*****
Yes, and they need to gather up these 2 liars and all their connections and investigate every inch of their backgrounds and what they are doing here.
*****
im more concerned at why the fbi is trying to eliminate every person involved...are they afraid of loose lips sinking ships?
*****
Investigate these 2 lying dirtbags also, more Muslims in our country milking us while hating America.

...LOL, you are going to make a great slave, you main stream media loving, fact twisting, reality distorting, FOOL! Do yourself a favor and do 5 minutes of independent research on the Boston Bombings, instead of believing everything you see on the government controlled MSM!
Kill all Islamo-facists here and overseas.The government is clearly evil -- but for completely opposite reasons, and, depending on which side you're on, you're either a Muslim dupe or a New World Order dupe.

Perhaps we should team up with the Russians and give it a go. They seem to have a lot of trouble with the muzzies too. Might be a good use of those nuke stockpiles.
*****
Unfortunately, dead men tell no tales.
*****
Things that make you go hmmm.
*****
Too convenient. Too easy. Assassination
*****
More and more suspicious events are transpiring. More and more evidence is going missing. This looks very suspicious.

If Obama wants a Stasi police state he might want to target actual enemies of America like this little darling and his friends.
Better yet, give out open-season licenses and ask us rednecks to clean things up for him. We'll have this settled in a few months. Then we could sit back in the rocker with our bourbon and cheroots and tell stories to the grandbabies.
BTW I want a sterling silver Texas-style Ranger badge. Pretty cool.

Why at the first shootout did the police keep shooting at the suspects when they yelled out , "chill out", "we didn't do it"
" we give up" ?
How was Dzhokhar Tsarnaev able to get away from police after the first shootout, after he yelled " we give up" ?
Why do the back packs that EXPLODED NOT MATCH either of the back packs carried by the Tsarnaev brothers ?
Why were there several Craft International Agents with BPs matching the exploded black nylon BPs running security at the Marathon? Exploded Black BPs with the white Craft International logo ? ...
As I watch this, I'm really sorry to see the IRS and journalist-targeting stories come along, because they're likely to unite these two wings of wingnuttery. I'd really enjoy the chance to kick back with a big tub of popcorn and watch them fight this out for the next few years.
