(5,756 posts)By the time a person is 19 they're very much old enough to know right from wrong. If one of my friends' pictures got posted by the FBI as suspect 1 or suspect 2 who had killed 3 people and injured over 100 I'd be calling the FBI, not hiding the evidence of their crimes.
I was in a fraternity in college and we all said we were each others' brother and I had close friends there. But I'd have turned in anyone of them if they did what the Tsarnaevs are alleged to have done. Case in point, we had a girl allege that an associate member had sexually assaulted her at a party in a bedroom at the fraternity house. We shut down the party, kept all the witnesses separated and from talking to one another, called our adviser and the campus police and city police. That was for an assault on a single person. Not for murder of 3 people and maiming dozens more.
