Boston Marathon Bombing

[Gracie]

The initial picture was found in a thread on Boston Bruins forum that I was following.

HFBoards - View Single Post - OT: Explosions at Marathon reported

Thank you, but still no link to the source of the pic. Just another board post with the same pic.

I tracked it down to here

The twitter this came off made a huge point that this guy was wearing baseball hat and not a turban.

really? doesn't look like a baseball cap to me. I'll take their word for it though.

Looking at the picture that's posted up top really don't tell you anything. This guy is without a shirt on but has some kind of covering on his head. This covering just might be his shirt trying to reflect the sun in the hope it cools him off.

Look, we don't know jack about who or what or why this happened. Give it a week, let the officials sort through all the damage, interview witnesses, find all the evidence, then make your judgement.

I'm not talking to you BallsBrunswich and Gulnuc, I'm talking to those who are pointing fingers and placing blame. I just picked this post to make my comments, sorry about that.

I don't think he is without a shirt, I believe he is wearing a brown leather jacket.

I am getting a bad feeling, usually, credit is taken by the perpetrators ( or other assorted nuts) soon there after, soon can be as soon as the attack is 'successful' or shortly there after.....if we hit tomorrow and no credit has been taken, I will be thinking domestic...

Well I don't know if that's true anymore. Terrorists have seen what happens to those who do take responsibility for attacks like this. It also might mean that they aren't finished yet.

I can't believe homeland security dropped the ball on this.

I'm waiting to hear the sequester excuse.

Yeah, looking at the second photo, it does look like he's wearing a jacket.

This guy's twitter is very interesting.

 

[CrazedScotsman]

Is there a picture of the guys face?

By the way, the officials making statements and talking to the press need to call this what it is, a terrorist attack.

 

[AceRothstein]

I don't think the cops would let a bunch of bystanders hang around if that guy was a suspect.

?

Well the dude on the ground has cuffs on,I hope this is over and there's not more to come.

Looks muslim, dark hair, facial hair, one of those funny white hats.

I thought the same thing but right now folks in Boston are jumpy and rightfully so. That guy could have been pulled over for anything. Lets hope they have have an idea soon of who did this and why.

We still know nothing about who may have done this, what we do know is that it is no doubt an act of cowardice and terrorism....

It's April 15th. My money says it turns out to be a domestic terrorist, probably an anti-government or anti-tax looney.

I don't know who or what is worse, the guy or group who murdered two and attempted to murder over 100 or those using this to point fingers, place blame and further whatever political agenda.

you really don't know?

you're sick.

seek help.

We're also only four days away from the anniversary of Waco and OKC.

 

[Againsheila]

and Obama didn't want any of us to accuse anyone before the facts are in? Really? did he say that in the Cambridge Police debacle?

Like I said, "beergate"

Wall Street Journal reporting that law enforcement officials have found at least five unexploded devices throughout the city.

This is a rumor that's circulating around the net.

 

[Black_Label]

From the live report they made it clear Murdoch's NYpost was lying their ass off that there is no suspect at the hospital.

I agree it's too much of a coincidence that it happened on the 15th. It most likely a disgruntled American.

Fox is reporting 3 dead.

CNN confirms 3 unexploded.

It's feeling more to me like a domestic terrorist.
