Tamerlan Tsarnaev: Before & After Boston Marathon
MURDERER #1 WAS DECENT BOXER
San Francisco, CA– As most you know by now two bombs went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon last year. When the clock that April day struck 2:50 PM the world as we know it changed, especially for those injured or murdered in what appears to have been another murderous act of terror linked to religious fanaticism.
FROM BOXING & WEED TO MASS MURDER!
Having read a lot about the older of the Tsarnaev brothers, Tamerlan, the 26-year-old murderer, and I’m not going to be P.C. and refer to him as suspect #1 as NBC does, I’m going to give you a closer look at murderer #1 Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the 2010 New England Heavyweight Golden Gloves champion with a few insights gleaned from matchmaker Eric Bottjer.
BOTTJER HAS 25 YEARS IN GAME NOW
Bottjer, whom I’ve known ever since an August 1988 fight night in San Jose, CA when David Gonzales beat to death the first of two men with his fists, Rico Velasquez, has written for newspapers, magazines, is an author, and worked for just about everybody as a matchmaker, including Don King and the former America Presents.
ERIC ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEXT CHAMP!
That being said, Bottjer is always on the prowl for “new blood.” This brings him annually to the National Golden Glove tourney and the like when his schedule permits. In 2010, Eric made it to the Nationals and that’s where he met Tamerlan Tsarnaev, or the aforemetioned, murderer #1.
BAD DECISION TURNED KILLER AWAY FROM BOXING?
According to Eric, Tamerlan could fight. Being of the mindset that murderer #1 was not a full-fledged heavyweight, who could’ve been developed into a well-rounded cruiserweight, Bottjer got assertive and went to Tsarnaev after the controversial loss in the national meet, inquiring as to whether or not Tamerlan was interested in turning professional.
TAMERLAN NOT IGNORING & YET NOT PAYING ATTENTION
Bottjer says that Tamerlan, called moody to say the least in a lot of accounts, really didn’t give him an answer or even acknowledge his presence. When the fighter refused to respond, his trainer interjected and said something like they didn’t know what they were going to do.
MURDERER #1’S BOXING & MMA FRIEND HAS THROAT SLIT!
Fast forward to 2011 and a grizzly triple “drug-related” murder in Waltham, Mass, a suburb of Boston, and all I can tell you is that one of the victims, Brendan Mess, trained and was close with Tamerlan. All three had their throats cut and this is where the drug-related aspect of this story came into play. The murder scene was reminiscent of the Charles Manson gang murders of actress Sharon Tate and friends, as the three victims were all but decapitated.
CASH & MARIJUANA “THROWN ON BODIES”
In addition, $5,000 worth of cash and a vast amount of marijuana were poured onto each body. It is clear somebody was sending a message, they are saying something and it turns out to be exactly what these murdering brothers were espousing to friends and associates, that marijuana, their friend, if not covenant for years, was now poison and the people who smoked it were infidels.
COPS NOW INTERESTED IN TAMERLAN FOR “WEED MURDERS”
“We are looking at a possible connection with the suspect in the marathon atrocity and this active and open homicide in Waltham,” Stephanie Guyotte, a spokeswoman for the Middlesex County District Attorney, confirmed to ABC News. Tsarnaev, the alleged bombing mastermind who died in a fierce gun battle with police early Friday morning, had been training with one of the 2011 murder victims in an attempt at a possible career in mixed-martial arts.
PRO-WEED MURDERERS BECAME ANTI-WEED BULLYS!
All the way up until sometime in early 2011, both murdering brothers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, murderer #2, were part of the “wake and bake” set. You know, before you even get out of bed it’s about taking tokes off the bong. The brothers smoked a lot of weed. And when I say a lot, friends said the two were very pro-weed until 2011. From that point forward, Tamerlan would scold his now former friends and associates over cannabis.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev
LITTLE BROTHER MIMICS OLDER BROTHER
As did the bigger brother, so did the little brother, as Dzhokhar too did a 180′ degree turn on the use of marijuana.
Seeing all their friends, or least a majority were stoners, this marks a significant point in the lives of both men as this metamorphosis on marijuana philosophy rendered them seemingly friend less.
MORAL OF STORY?
People that smoke weed are not usually violent. In my years as a cop, I never went to a call involving marijuana and any kind of violence. Had he inked up with matchmaker Bottjer and continued his use of herbs, then maybe three beautiful people might still be alive and I would, like every year prior, never have even known the Boston Marathon had taken place!
