According to his Twitter page, Troy Crossley is a 20-year old rapper who resides in Chelsea, Mass. He is emerging as one of Twitter’s most vociferous supporters of the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Crossley, who exchanged tweets with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev prior to Monday’s bombing (see, e.g., here, here, and here), has accumulated nearly 10,000 Twitter followers.
It would take all day to document all of his pro-Tsarnaev tweets. Here are some highlights (or, rather, lowlights), just to give you a taste:

He’s even roping murdered Navy SEAL Chris Kyle into his crazed theories:

It comes as no surprise that Crossley is an Alex Jones fan:

He is apparently going to start up a fund to support Tsarnaev:

An alarming number of Twitter users are on Crossley’s side.
I support @TroyCrossley , can't trust everything you see on TV. Go check out his page and evidence on the conspiracy theory of the bombings.

That just a tiny sample of pro-Crossley tweets. Unreal.
Editor’s note: We fixed the spelling of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s name.
