When it comes to terrorists, the typical personality trait of a murderous psychopath doesn’t typically include “bumbling twit”. But on reflection, the Tsarnaev brothers made a bunch of stupid mistakes in the lead up to, and immediately following the Boston Marathon Bombing. A whole bunch.

Last Monday, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found and charged with”use of a weapon of mass destruction” and “malicious destruction of property resulting in death” for his roll in the tragic Boston Marathon bombings –  along with his brother Tamerlan, who was killed in a shootout with the police hours earlier

The manhunt lasted a meer four days, probably due to the arbitrary actions the brothers took over the last week.

Here is a list of the top 5 weirdest things they did, knowing that they were being hunted by law enforcement.

1. Dzhokhar’s Lack Of Diguise

If any of you ever played cops and robbers the best part was getting dressed up, was it not? Dzhokhar would not agree. He decided it would be a good idea to NOT follow his older brother’s disguise, and instead wore a backwards hat and no sunglasses – an FBI agent’s fantasy criminal. Anyway, Dzhokhar, made it easy for cameras to capture his face for identification. Not smooth.

2. Let’s Stay In Boston

Isn’t it customary to leave the scene of the crime? Well not in this case. The bomb went off at 14h49 last Monday, but Dzhokhar and Tamerlan hijacked a Mercedes in Boston at 22h29 on Thursday. Rookie error guys. What were you doing in the three days you could have used to escape the area of the crime? Apparently they were boxing, attending class, and going to parties. Have you not watched Prison Break? Amateurs!

3. No One Notices We’re Still Here. Let’s Tell Everyone Where We Are!

Idiots! On their very much delayed exit from Boston, the brothers felt it would be a more productive idea to shoot 26-year-old, MIT police officer, Sean Collier at 22h30 on Thursday, leaving behind a big red arrow for those tracing their footsteps.

4. Let’s Confirm That We’re The Guys Everyone’s Looking For

According to Motherjones.com, baby brother, Dzhokhar, while restraining the driver of the hijacked Mercedes said “Did you hear about the Boston explosion? I did that.” And then they allowed that person to escape, escalating their status and accompanying police attention from random criminals, to Enemies Of The State.

 5. Don’t Leave A Trail Of Bread Crumbs, Hansel!

The brothers used their hijacking victim’s ATM card to get money fast – a desperate attempt that ended up with the daily limit being drawn at $800. They then proceeded to try their luck at another two machines, basically giving authorities a map of where they were and where they had been. According to Los Angeles Times the crooks stopped for a snack at a petrol station – like anyone on the run does – only to find that their victim had escaped. They kept the person’s phone, which also aided in their tracking.
