Boston Bombing Mastermind Suspect Was Welfare Queen
24th April 2013
The benefits ran out in 2012 after Russell started earning enough to disqualify him for benefits, apparently working some 80 hours per week as a home health aide while Tamerlan hung out at home and cooked up plots to bomb things. Welfare was a way of life in the Tsarnaev household; both parents received it as well. Massachusetts will not say what sort of benefits the Tsarnaevs received, and stonewalled until late on Tuesday evening after the Boston Herald began questioning local lawmakers on the matter.
My, what a surprise! Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
