Explosion at the Boston Marathon (NSFW Graphic Images): Waltham Murders Tied, 3rd Supect Dead - Page 55 - Politics and Economics

The odd thing I find about this is usually people who do these things are steeped, at least online, in an ideology that lends itself to that and the article doesn't mention that at all. Seems odd that's all

Did he even run a marathon? Thought he was there to cheer on his gf.

They should let him push the needle into these *******s.

Definitely a miracle. Guy who ran the Boston marathon also witnessed the fertilizer plant blowing up.

Yeah, this is pretty accurate. Do you disagree with this? Because I honest to god believe that if "bombs bombs bombs BOMBS" then "gotta DO SOMETHING" as long as the "DO SOMETHING" is our best effort at the time. The national guard should be posted all over the place to make sure that if more people are in on this plan their impact will be minimized. Hopefully it is just a random loner, but there is still the chance that it is not.

Now if you feel the irrepressible need to exercise your rights as a US citizen at that moment I completely empathize. But it is a pretty ****ty time to be a stick in the mud in downtown boston.

"Pathetic" that it took the FBI a whole 72 hours to potentially solve a bombing?

What. The. Actual. ****.

I know it only took Dick Cheney 72 minutes to solve 9/11 (it was Saddam!).

10 times worse than 9/11, D-day, Katrina, the post-war flu pandemic, the 1906 San Fran Earthquake, and the JFK assassination put together, for sure.

Why is it pathetic? Do you have experience in these kinds of investigations to know how they could have solved this faster?

Doubt it. Wouldn't they have scanned all the airport footage? I think they would know if they had left.

I'm honoring my "well armed militias" on the streets of Boston and across the land these days. No quarter to ****s who bombed us or otherwise threaten to bring violence to our streets.
