More likely they laughed at him for not getting five full rotations like he bragged he could . <| sep |> It ' s up to your own decision whether or not the Tsarnev Brothers would have acted then and there with or without the FBI leaking the suspects that they are looking for . However , my consensus is that the suspects would have not acted so quickly had their photos and names not been released into the public . It would have been just as likely as them looking to lay low and integrate into society to plan another attack weeks months later only to be ambushed randomly by FBI in the middle , as you may believe them deciding to pick the same exact day without seeing their pictures on the news to shoot a college officer , jack a car and then plan a superquick bombing session in Times Square . It ' s up to speculation at this point to determine whether or not not showing the brothers would have led to the death of a college officer , or perhaps more harassment of families .
