During this morning's manhunt in Boston, several sources have identified the Twitter account @J_Tsar as belonging to 19-year-old suspect Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev. A cached profile photo (now replaced with picture of a lion) matches suspect photos sent out by FBI yesterday and the account has been confirmed with a high school classmate of Tsarnaev's.

Dzhokhar, who was born in Chechnya and went by the name "Jahar" or "Johar" because his real name was difficult to pronounce, has been reportedly tweeting in the wake of Monday's attacks. Most recently he retweeted Muslim scholar Mufti Ismail Menk, his own note about being "stress free" and the lyrics to Eminem's "Forgot About Dre":

On the day of the attack, Tsarnaev tweeted, "stay safe people":

Earlier today, Chechnya's President Ramzan Kadyrov issued a statement (on Instagram, of all places) criticizing how authorities handled the manhunt that led to the death of Dzhokhar's brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev. That statement, issued in Russian, blamed U.S. authorities for killing the suspect before they could determine "the extent of his guilt." Connecting the suspects to their Chechnya upbringing "is futile," Kadyrov said. "They were raised in the United States, and their attitudes and beliefs were formed there. It is necessary to seek the roots of this evil in America. The whole world must struggle against terrorism — that we know better than anyone else."

Tsarnaev's family emigrated to the U.S. from Chechnya in 2002, when younger brother Dzhokhar would have been nine or 10 years old. Tamerlan, now deceased, would have been around 16 at the time. The extent to which American culture influenced their "attitudes and beliefs" can't really be known at this point, but last spring he was on a tweeting streak, alternating sentiments of Chechen pride and lyrics from American pop music that run the gamut from Kanye and Michael Jackson to Peter Frampton and Paul McCartney:

Motherland pride and Wings lyrics aside, Tsarnaev's tweets mostly appear to be the innocuous utterings of a bored high schooler. He also tweeted about working as a lifeguard because "saving lives brings me joy" and how "having your own car is sooo #clutch." Despite telling the world, or at least his twitter followers, that "drugs are a crutch for people who cant handle reality," he was apparently known among his friends for smoking copious amounts of weed:

While several classmates and people who had interacted with Tsarnaev online confirmed the @J_tsar belonged to the suspect, multiple fake Twitter accounts sprung up after his name was revealed by authorities. At least one fake account garnered over 6,500 followers with just 11 tweets, most of which were empty threats directed at Boston Police.
