Boston Marathon Bombing

[Foxfyre]

It could be a day picked by some nut at random, but because the bombs were positioned in a way and timed when the first marathoners came by, we have to consider that as a factor. But it is also our official income tax day for personal filers.

Also there is this:

Yom Hazikaron (officially known as Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terrorism Remembrance Day) starts on Sunday night and continues to sundown Monday, when, in an intense and sudden change of mood, the whole country erupts into celebration of the 63rd anniversary of Israel’s Independence.

So it's way too early to speculate on motive. It is enough to be concerned that there may still more devices yet undetected and to be in solidarity with those in Boston.

No H.A.R.P. mind control or audio harassment ?

Authorities ID a suspect in marathon bombings - he is being guarded in Boston hospital - NYPOST.com

Authorities have confirmed to The Post that they have identified a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing.

The suspect — a Saudi national who suffered shrapnel wounds in today's blast — is currently being guarded in a Boston hospital.

A law enforcement source confirmed to The Post that 12 people were killed and nearly 50 were injured in today's blast.

Probably has nothing to do with it, probably only thing tying him to it is his skin color

Dunno myself.

Pretty harsh opinion of Boston PD but that has happened. (more so in the middle of the last century but that's not an impossible theory)

There are multiple reports of more bombs found in trash cans.

If there is an international terrorist aspect to this one expects claims of responsibility and authoritative links to same in the coming days, if not sooner.

If this were Islamic terrorist, wouldn't they be all over the place taking credit ?

Good point. They do love to brag.

I think they usually wait until it's over before they take credit..

.....Or, keep runnin' & hiding....

Copley Center is a very busty area in downtown Boston. That was very packed an hour before the bombs exploded. It was thinned out a bit when the bombs went off thankfully. The police reacted in a very quick and professional manner.

The first marathoners were long past the finish line when this happened.

Memorial day is already over, it's the independence day today, actually, Foxfyre

Hope the culprits will be found.

CBS News reporting a police source says they believe the explosives at the Boston Marathon were planted in trash cans. Same source also told CBS News they believe they have surveillance video of a possible suspect- a man carrying multiple backpacks. Still waiting on press conference with Boston Police.

But the explosions were inside the crowd, not the runners?

So far it looks like they were in garbage cans, which would have been on the crowd side of the barriers.

It happened on tax day in Boston. Hmmm!

So, anti-tax loons bomb runners to get their point across? I seriously doubt that. Seriously.

I sure as hell hope not.

 

[Synthaholic]

Perhaps they suspect these explosions were set off via cellphone, which could explain the taking down of cell towers.

 

[FireFly]

Chris Mathews was trying to blame Right Wing groups. SICK FUCK

 

[bodecea]

Several have been found and exploded two are too big to explode and are being dismantled.

It looks like the bombs were supposed to be synchronized and it didn't work. Only two went off. Looks more like middle eastern terrorists. They normally screw it up.

Unconfirmed just reported bomb went off at the JFK library.

Middle Eastern terrorist usually use someone.
Sounds more like the type who placed a back bomb here on MLK day.

The Olympic bomber also set off two bombs at the abortion clinic....2nd one as 1st responders came......this is not a clear pattern for one type of terrorist.

 

[Gracie]

Looked like it was in the crowd, lipush. Not on the street where the runners were. One newscaster said the blasts were 15 feet away from the street.

 

[MondoBongo]

The U.S. needs stricter bomb control laws.

You're in the red. Right where you belong. Troll.

 

[BallsBrunswick]

how long before some lib blames Bush?

Why do conservatives have such a small dick that this is their biggest fear in the wave of a goddamn terrorist attack? Shut up idiots, it's retarded.

If the intent was to kill, maim, or injure as many people as possible, they would likely go for the crowd rather than the runners who would be more spread out. And the largest crowd would be near the finish line and the timing would be during the time the largest crowd would be assembled.

trash cans.

Someone on my Facebook feed is saying one of the devices that didn't go off was under the stands per CBS Boston.

Ouch.....and thank the gods!
