I think we pretty much know..........they were new to this country. I am sure they encountered prejudices. I think both parents ended up going back to Russia. It looks like things did not work out well for them.

That happens to lots of people... and they don't turn into terrorists. What made these guys different?

The big second guess on law enforcement; should they have released those pictures? It probably would have taken a couple more days to find the guys with a lot of grunt police work, and maybe they would have committed more violence. But releasing the pictures led to two deaths, and the complete shutdown of Boston. Even if the press or public doesn't question it, I'm sure law enforcement authorities will review the way it was handled. Yeah they caught the guys fast, but they released a lot of chaos and death, and it could have been much worse.

Not passing judgement, just thinking out loud.
