Final number will end up being more than 3 and lots of amputees, so thewhoever did this did strike a blow.

Here in Canada we have to listen to The guy whom owns the running room with his opinion. Gimme a break this is a terrorist attack I don't give a frick what he says. Their discussing changes. Tell me how you secure a 26.2 mile route at a local run?

Surprise it looks like this was some infowars ****stick.

If your gonna be brown we got to take you down.

I have thought, and hoped for a myriad of reasons, this is some homegrown work and not something else to get spun out of control.

Of course without knowing I was being tricked by that lefty bill maher I accidently watched the first episode of Vice on HBO this morning. Was not the best morning after pill for my feelings on humanity.

To be fair only a relatively small section of that would allow for a large amount of targets, the finish line. Well a better target might be the starting line.

Securing the whole course is not realistic nor necessary.

One of my first thoughts yesterday was that they would have future marathons without shoes just to be safe.

Everybody hates and is embarrassed by the Iraq war which was arguably started with the drilling of the words terrorist and terrorism into our brains about seventy billion times. No one wants to admit we were propagandized but everyone knows we were.

The president and the left dosen't want to look like Bush by saying "terrorist" or "war on terror" too much and the right wishes everyone would say terrorist like we were stuck in a Being John Malkovich portal. Funny, not since the N word has a word been so polarizing.

Good for a click

There were 100k fans lined along the course, densely packed in. As such, there were a *lot* of places yesterday which would have been equally inviting targets for the sickos who did this.

Let us not get too carried away. By any way of measuring it Americas ranking on the atrocities scoreboard is middle of the pack at best/worst.

There is all kinds of horrible stuff going on all over the planet most which does not involve the US unless you want to play 12 degrees of Diçk Cheney.

The hypocrisy certainly comes into who we chose to "help". Most of Africa has been a horrorific mess for a long time now. If we wanted to play the Good Samaritan role we would start there. However they have nothing to offer us so whatevs.

On the other hand I can't stand the hypocrisy of countries who want to point at the US as this horrible demon if they managed to survive and thrive with the role we have played in the world in the last 100 years.

There are only a tiny percentage of sovereign states in the world that can claim anything close to having clean hands.

Kenmore Square area would probably have been worse casualty wise. Probably more density and nowhere near the medical tents and plethora of nurses/EMT's/first responders at the finish that were very quickly turned into trauma centers. Finish line guaranteed more media coverage of the explosions though.

Yes.

Hope that's all it is on that plane, but sad if its all there is at the same time

Isn't disrupting a flight a federal offense?

The plane at Logan supposedly had an unchecked piece of luggage on it. It doesn't look serious, they're carting away all the luggage right now.

So you've tried and convicted the guy already?

Do you know there are reports that the person in question is in the hospital, cooperating, and signed a voluntary statement allowing police to investigate his apartment?

Do you think its at least a little bit odd that, if he's a prime suspect, that his roomate Mohammud Hassan Bada is walking around freely and chatting with reporters?

Maybe he's involved. But again, lets tap the brakes on who did it here. Your haste is making you look really, really, really bad in this thread whether you know it or not and whether or not your preconceived notions do turn out to be correct.

EDIT: to raradevils

Please remember the FBI searched the home of Richard Jewell, the guy who found the Atlanta Olympics pipe bomb and likely saved many lives.

And no arrest was made. Your prejudice is showing.

no, history has a way of repeating itself.

While the bombings were taking place this took place in a court room in NJ:

It's not prejudice. It's just mathematical probability.

Not all Muslims are terrorists but the majority of terrorists are Muslim. That's just a fact.

See this? This is why my first thought after this happened was "Please don't let it be brown people who trained in Pakistan".
