(11,366 posts)Listen, if you had been friends with someone for many years of your young life - including those formative teen years - you're NOT going to accept the fact that that friend may be guilty of a heinous crime - EVEN if that person looks EXACTLY like the suspect.
It's simply NOT going to dawn on you, particularly at 19 years old, that that is even possible.
From all accounts, Jahar Tsarnaev was an average, normal college kid. He sounds like an American college kid. He acted like one.
I suspect these guys were beginning to awaken to the fact that their friend was involved in this and wanted, out of sheer love and loyalty, to protect him without realizing the enormity of the situation. I think they now know, but are STILL having a hard time accepting it.
Shit, wouldn't YOU?
