But it was a screenshot of a post (i'm assuming from a forum) by someone Anonymous, and it's still messing with me.
Pretty much the Poster was saying that they worked for some type of secret service, and how this was all staged. He continued on to say how they were going to pin this whole thing on : "...A white male in his early twenties..." Mind you this was WAY BEFORE the media released the pictures of the two real suspects. He said the casualties were real but the events were staged. Later that night after hearing it was two white males as the suspects I started to discredit how accurate the poster was, UNTIL I heard about how THE OLDER brother is now dead, and so now the sole suspect is the younger brother, or as the poster said " a white male in his early twenties" (19 to be specific).
Now to address the comment about " if you are innocent why not turn yourself in?.....why are you carrying a gun?...and why did you kill that officer?" Well think about it like this.... IF you were innocent and your face is PLASTERED ALL OVER AMERICA as a murderer and a terrorist....would you not be scared?? And now that there are angry people out there that want to harm you...would you not carry a gun also?? And I'm a "see to believe it" type of girl...there were no other witnesses to the officer getting shot. so unless they have that on video, I remain to be skeptical.

I think the forum post you are talking about came from a compilation of pictures and a post compiled by 4chan, the internet hackers group. It can be found here, the pictures as well as the internet post, which you can see if you scroll down. It's easy to find because, well, it's text instead of pictures.

The poster said that it would all be used to try and further restrict materials to make ammo. Well, they didn't find anything like that (that we know of) in his apartment. They did find more crudely made explosives, I think.
Re what would you do if you were wrongly named the suspect: When the FBI (before they released the pictures of the two brothers) gave descriptions of two suspects, a lot of people that had been looking at the 4chan pics and they thought that 2 of the guys shown at the link were the bombers. You can find them easily, they are circled. One even had a white hat, although it was worn the regular way and not on backwards as described by the FBI. Both of these guys immediately contacted police and went into to talk to them, and they were quickly cleared. It turned out that they were a running coach and a high school long-distance runner.
Can I believe that someone would be wrongly fingered and run because of it? Absolutely. But I can't believe they would have guns, IED's (another pressure cooker), and homemade grenades with them when they tried to run? No.
And I cannot get the past the eye-witness account of Jeff Bauman, the guy that had both of his legs blown off. When he first woke up in the hospital, the first thing he asked for was pen and paper so that he could write down what he saw. He described what the older brother was wearing as he dropped the bag at his feet. I doubt he would allow his legs to be blown off in order to be in on some sort of a conspiracy to finger an innocent person.
