Two explosions go off at the Boston marathon... What...

[bean82]

They say on TV that the fire at the library is not connected to the bombs...

I wonder if mr kim jung had something to do, he did say watch out on april 15 his late fathers bday that he was going to celebrate with a bang. Either way very sad to see and hear, my condolences go out to everyone involved.

 

[microwavablecat]

TV say alot of shit, dont trust media at this point is the best thing you could do.

 

[bean82]

Microwavablecat: But you trust them, when they say there was a 3rd bombing? Why would they hide another bomb?

It appears to be once again our steadfast allies, the Saudis. Good thing that Homeland Security wants to give a bunch of them passes to avoid airport security so that HS can concentrate their efforts on strip-searching wheelchair-bound grandmothers.

"Investigators have a suspect — a Saudi Arabian national — in the horrific Boston Marathon bombings, The Post has learned.Law enforcement sources said the 20-year-old suspect was under guard at an undisclosed Boston hospital.
Fox News reported that the suspect suffered severe burns.
It was not immediately clear why the man was hospitalized and whether he was injured in the attack or in his apprehension.
The man was caught less than two hours after the 2:50 p.m. bombing on the finish line of the race, in the heart of Boston."

A spokesperson for the Boston Police Department said no suspects have been taken into custody yet after the bombing at the Boston Marathon.

"At this time, we haven't been notified of any arrests or anyone apprehended," the spokesperson said.

The New York Post reported that a "Saudi national who suffered shrapnel wounds in today's blast" has been identified as "a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing." The Boston PD spokesperson did not confirm that report.

"Honestly, I don't know where they're getting their information from, but it didn't come from us," said the spokesperson.

The Post report was attributed to "a law enforcement source." According to the Post, the "suspect" is "currently being guarded in a Boston hospital."

Update (5:27 PM): A spokesperson with the FBI's national press office in Washington DC declined to comment when asked about reports a suspect or person of interest had been identified in the bombings.

Update (5:39 PM): NBC News is also reporting there is a "possible suspect" being guarded at a Boston hospital. After that report, a spokesperson for the Boston Police Department reiterated that they had "no confirmation" of any possible suspect in custody.

"They didn't obtain that information from us," the spokesperson said of the NBC report.

an 8 year old child was killed.

I'm not saying is fair that a child died, because of the Boston bombings. Not at all. I find all bombings repulsive, regardless of the attacker. I just try to put things in perspective. With a foreign policy like yours, you must expect some retaliation. You guys have been lucky so far. Not many succeded attacks on american soil.

 

[bentom187]

lets not be presume who did it.our foreign policy is very bad though.

but i guess this will be treated as all other landmark attacks.liberties will be lost on this patriots day.

 

[rives]

Anyone that thinks that this type of thing is just retribution and accomplishes anything beneficial isn't playing with a full deck. I can pretty well guarantee that nobody killed or wounded had a damn thing to do with what the US has done overseas. And just exactly what do you think the government is going to do? Stand down? Somebody just turned up the heat on their associates/countrymen to an immense degree.

 

[Stoner4Life]

considering that they have two unexploded devices (as reported on cnn) that's going to give them a huge head start in determining the origins of the bombs & bomb maker(s).

we are far from saints.but im not seeing a reason for people to gloat.murder is murder.2 wrongs dont make it right.

we should be more responsible for the congressional critters,and when they break the law or go outside their sworn oaths give them zero tolerance and fire them,otherwise you cant expect them to do anything but abuse it . your next chance is in 2014 &16.

I wonder what rights they'll take away because of this....

[castout]

Why would anybody bomb a sports event....just a bunch of peeps having drinks, and watching the race....no policy makers, just regular people. It makes no sense to me...but random violence is beyond my comprehension. I pray for everyone affected by this horrible act.

 

[resinryder]

I wonder what rights they'll take away because of this....

Probably make even more laws against making bombs. Universal background checks when buying batteries, wire, phones, transistors, etc

Terrorist attack my ass, this was clearly inhouse.
