We got the terrorist alive, go America.
Editor's note, August 24, 2026: This post was about the capture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on April 19, 2013. He and his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, carried out the Boston Marathon bombing four days earlier. I listened to the live police scanner over internet radio as officers found him hiding in a boat in Watertown, then wrote this post soon afterward in the excitement of the moment. A July 2025 Associated Press report covers the latest development in the legal fight over his death sentence.
