Explosions at the Boston Marathon

[Locutus]

Jackie Bruno, a reporter for New England Cable News, said on Twitter that she saw people's legs blown off.

Wonder if anyone will claim responsibility for it.

[Locutus]

Well if it's like the last two bombings of this type on American soil and is home grown, I doubt it. 

[Anne]

I wouldn't be surprised if it is domestic, either. People are just crazy.

[The Troll]

  I'll bet it was done by Muslim people and it is by Muslims who are from America.  It was the work of more than one person.   

  I wonder what the reward will be.   I know I am sick of the hour upon hour of coverage of  this act of terrorism with nobody knowing anything.

Domestic gets my vote as well. Why?

Look at the depressed economy in the midwest. Consider the likelihood that the perpetrator(s) is likely a middle aged individual that has been laid off after a decade or more of working for the same company, and is now faced with age discrimination and the unreasonable bar the legal system sets surrounding proving same.

He has probably lost his home, possibly his family, and is subsisting off whatever savings / retirement fund he may have accumulated; with little to no hope of obtaining any kind of work that pays much above minimum wage.

Multiply this person by a few million and there is your pool of suspects in this nation. Facing a long, hot, and miserable existence filled with starvation and being considered a lazy scumbag.

That and the fact it happened on tax day leads me to believe it is indeed another domestic terrorism incident that will result in the severe restriction of the purchase of ball bearings and whatever other components that were used to manufacture these explosive devices.

What planet are you from?  Starvation, I can not help if they have sold their food stamps for pills, or are to lazy to walk to a food kitchen.  Here you can dial them up, and they will bring the food to you.  If you are that lazy and stupid you should starve.  The WV house voted to feed every child in  WV regardless of income.

I'm hearing conflicting reports about unexploded devices being found.  Some say they found some; others say none were found. 

The Pakistani Taliban has denied involvement, and my money is still on this being of the home grown variety.

There is a country outside of WV you ninny!

Yeah. I hate the fact the media feels entitled to speculate. It always adds to the confusion. 

It's domestic. If it weren't some extremist group would have already claimed it.

[Palehorse]

I have watched very little of the coverage of this event until this morning. They just had a public official on CNN that said absolutely no unexploded devices were found.

Now ricin has been mailed to Senator Roger Wicker. 

[Anne]

CNN, CBS and Fox all reporting that an arrest has been made in the Boston Marathon bombing case. News conference scheduled for 5 PM. Also confirmed that Ricin laced letters sent to President Obama and some other members of congress. Letters signed by KC. People are really stupid.
