Boston Marathon Bombing

[tinydancer]

For a nice recognition of humanity of the other runners, this is being reported. They kicked into gear right away and ran to the Hospital.

tweets: Reports of Marathon Runners that crossed finish line and continued to run to Mass General Hospital to give blood to victims

BBC News - LIVE: Boston Marathon explosions

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..

The ones who actually do the deed, perhaps. But all the ones that didn't do it usually try to take credit quickly. The fact that no Islamist group has tried to claim credit is a little strange.

suspect in custody, I'm hearing.

MSNBC isn't saying anything about that.

 

[Lipush]

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.

That's just so awful.

Praying for the quick recovery of the injured!

This is just sick, watching BBC and they refuse to say that they were bombs, since the US officials haven't used the words. They are just calling them "explosions". They seriously just had a discussion about it since a caller used the word bomb while on the air. PC run amok.....

Time to ban bombs!

they say they have a saudi guy in custody as a suspect

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

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

Or the video of him carrying in multiple backpacks, right?

Yeah right they released that sort of info

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.

I'm going to have to visit!

Does anyone have a source that isn't the NY Post that says anything about the suspect in custody?

 

[MondoBongo]

You are a lying sack of shit. I'm watching him right now, and he said "it could have been right wing extremists, left wing extremists, muslim terrorists, we don't know"

Do you honestly think the hard core righties on this site give a rat's ass about those pesky things the rest of us call "facts?"

No fly zone over Boston is what I'm getting from the BBC

Picture of bomb going off at finish line: And Boston Globe is supposed to have film.

It looks like several didn't go off. The explosion at the JFK library was reported as a related attack, then an electrical fire that had nothing to do with the attack and the Boston PD chief says it was a bomb, but may not have been related to the Boston bombs.

So far, the bombs might have been detonated by cell phone.

They say they got a guy under guard in the hospital. heard on the radio.

I saw a tweet that said a 20 year old saudi male was in custody. I'll try to find it again.

There's a lot of footage of the explosions.

Just because we don't know if anyone has already taken credit, doesn't mean no one has taken credit, it just means we don't know if such a person or persons have come forward.

Who do they have in custody?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

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

Bullshit.

I got that on local radio, which is clear channel, so FOX. Its the best I got.
