Watch this documentary. Jahar is innocent.

They had more security at that marathon than they would have at any other race.We've been over this, of course, but more detail on the subject might be illustrative.We want to remember that Pro's source for this statement is infowars.com and that infowars' source is the interview with Alastair Stevenson. If we go back to the interview as captured in the YouTube video or to any other interview with Stevenson, we note that Stevenson never expressed a concern about the number of security personnel. Stevenson simply stated that he'd been to other marathons and had never seen roof-top observers or bomb-sniffing dogs. As a sports coach at the University of Alabama, Stevenson seems blithely unaware that bomb-sniffing dogs are an ordinary part of security before most college football games including U of A games. Stevenson is wrong but we should find no fault with an interviewee who claims no expertise and only cites personal experience. We are obligated to find fault with infowars' reporting because theynever bothered to corroborate Stevenson's statement: not with security experts, not with even one additional witness, not with Marathon officials, not with Boston Police. The reason for this oversight is almost certainly because Stevenson's speculation is not sustainable by the most cursory investigation.Anti-terrorist countermeasures such as rooftop observers and bomb-sniffing dogs have been an ordinary precaution before major American sporting events since Presidential Decision Directive 39 U.S. Policy on Counterterrorism was signed on June 21 1995 by President Clinton, which established and funded 57 Civil Support Teams nationwide to support such countermeasures. Most large European sporting events have employed such countermeasures since the early 1970's. Hard numbers are difficult to come by because security officials are wary of describing security strength in detail, but we know the following: The 2013 Marathon had 27,000 official runners plus a few thousand unofficial runners and somewhere between 700,000 to 1 million spectators along the route. The marathon remains crowded for all 26.2 miles and 4-6 hours and the course generally cannot be crossed, forming a 53 mile line of densely packed people without any perimeters or gates or security check points. The Marathon route passes through 8 municipalities, 3 counties and 3 college campuses, making 14 different police jurisdictions participating in Marathon security that must be coordinated. Additionally, the Massachusetts State Patrol, the Massachusetts Dept. of Public Safety, The Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority, the Massachusetts Army National Guard (including CST team) and the US Coast Guard all participate annually in Marathon security. Typically, Boston invites a number of additional out of state security teams to participate, cross-train, and share techniques. All these security teams are coordinated by the Massachusetts Emergency Mgmt Agency from several command tents located at the finish line. On April 15 2013, the Marathon was guarded by roughly 1800 men and women represented by 75 commanders at MEMA HQ. That may seem like a large number, but consider that averages out to one officer for each side per 50 yards of racetrack or roughly one officer for every 500-600 spectators. Each year, MEMA utilizes the marathon to practice large scale emergency response scenarios. MEMA also plays out such scenarios during the integrated security effort for the Fourth of July each year. The year before the bombing in 2012, MEMA practiced a terrorist bombing event at the Marathon but on a far larger scale than the actual attack of 2013. The size of Boston's security response is hardly unusual. Chicago, New York City, London all employ large, integrated security responses for each of their marathons and all use the opportunity to run training exercises every year. In contradiction to Stevenson's observation, many cities' security responses are larger than Boston's. London deployed 3500 soldiers to secure her Marathon in 2012 and increased that number to 5000 troops after the Boston Bombing- that's 5000 soldiers above and beyond the massive police and security deployments. Chicago not only uses rooftop observers but also deploys 8 helicopters to keep watch over the event. New York City places 2500 police cameras along the route (Manhattan buildings are really too high for rooftop observers). DC's marathon is smaller than Boston's but they deployed 26 bomb-sniffing dog teams in 2012 and expected to increase that number after Boston 2013. Pro's statement that "They had more security at that marathon than they would have at any other race," is easily proven to be false, so (absent the presentation of any additional evidence) her conclusion that "Authorities knew something would happen. It's undeniable" must be dismissed as unsupported. The back pack was photoshopped out. So far, Pro has presented no evidence to support this claim. Some conspiracists do claim that in one picture of Dzokhar leaving the bomb site, his elbow is held at a sufficient angle that a backpack might be concealed. Obviously such a statement in no way stands as evidence that some item is concealed, much less that the item is a backpack, much less that the item is the same backpack as the one thought to have contained a bomb. The breadth of the gaps in logic between one blurry, bent elbow and some kind of false flag scenario are breathtaking....there must first be some kind of chain of evidence. Establishing the Malaysia Air MH 370 had the potential to fly to Perth, Australia is not the same thing as proving that the jet landed in Perth, right? Likewise, establishing that one object has the potential to conceal another object is not the same thing as proving that some object is so concealed. Jahar did not set a bomb down. Although prosecutors have advised the court that they are in possession of a closed-circuit video of Dzokhar setting down the bomb, such evidence has not yet been released to the media. We do know that Dzokhar was witnessed throwing one bomb and two grenades at police by hundreds of residents in Waterton. We do know that Jeff Bauman, the guy famously photographed after having both legs blown off, was the man who identified Tamerlane for authorities from pictures of the crowd. Prosecutors have stated that Dzokhar has implicated himself via three confessions in writing- text messages to friends, a note scrawled on the inside of the boat where he hid, and by notepad to the FBi in the hours before he was mirandized. We note that none one of these confessions has yet been tested in court. Until so tested, we might agree that authorities have not yet proved that Dzokhar set one of the bombs at the marathon but would not agree that Dzokhar is therefore less culpable. In order for Dzokhar to be blameless, thousands of Bostonians from every walk of life would need to be conspiring to convict one twenty-year old without major contradiction or exposure or unintentional disclosure. For Dzokhar to be blameless, the City of Boston must be engaged in a conspiracy of a scale and perfection that far exceeds any other in human history. The men with the backpacks who ever they are...those backpacks match the ones that had the bombs in them. Again, we've covered this. We have not yet seen enough pictures of the Tsarnaev backpacks to make such a statement. Backpacks that looks similar are not necessarily the same backpack. The backpacks Pro has indicated are from pictures taken AFTER the bombs (see R3). We know exactly who those men are, why they were on site, and what they were doing during and after the explosions. These men have received awards for their conduct on April 15. We know that the CST always carries backpacks like this while on duty. We have pictures of the same guys wearing the same packs before and after April 15. If Pro has evidence to the contrary she yet to offer it.
