Two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon have resulted in injuries.
Bloody spectators were being carried Monday to the medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners. Police wove through competitors as they ran back toward the course.
Holy shit. Heard about this just earlier. I live in Mass. and my mom has ran the Boston Marathon before. I know exactly the spot they're talking about. That's freaking scary. Hope nobody was killed.

One of the wounded is a very close friend, like a sister to me. Holy shit holy shit holy shit.
Cue the GOP bawling about terrorism (especially if it was just some random crazy fucknugget that snapped) and stripping away more liberties in 3... 2...
I have a feeling this is all that Anti-Government coming home to roost
e don't know much right now but the first place to look are those anti-government right winged militia groups. These right winged groups are afraid they have lost their country with President Obama getting reelected. Personally, I have been expecting more domestic terrorism attacks from these anti-government groups but like I see it is too preliminary to jump to conclusions.
Bombs: the ultimate weapon of the coward. Swift justice on whoever is responsible for this.
Always were, always will be. The Troubles, the Omagh bombing, Canary Wharf, Oklahoma City, Unabomber, the Warrington bombs, Dublin and Monaghan bombing, proxy bombing - all of them. Fucking cowards who do it.
This is what happens when fuckheads make bombs. It's that simple. I grew up around this shit and hated it then and hated it now. A few utter degenerates murdering innocents - that's all.
I don't wanna hear how evil the US/Ireland/Iraqis are. That's bullshit. There is *no* possible justification or provocation for murdering innocent citizens. (This was in answer to someone saying this is what happens when a government does things that piss people off.)
God fucking damn it, who the fuck bombs a fucking marathon?
We've got like 3 of these threads already.
So the parttimer's mom is okay, but no word on the husband. A couple other people I know may have been down there too. I don't think I'll stop worrying until I hear from them.
This may sound selfish, but I'm kind of glad my mom isn't running it this year.

People like blowing up other people. So...anyone that woke up on the wrong side of the bed and sees a massed group of people
Update: She might be losing an arm.

Conspiracy theories should be rolling out about now.
Of course the top conspiracy theory will likely be that it's some kind of false flag to take away guns. Because, you know, bombs and guns are totally the same thing, and it's not like our Australian members could make a bomb with stuff in their house right now.
Then I'm sure there will be a conspiracy that this is the return of that ex-cop, who really faked his death and is getting revenge on... random people in Boston?
Then there are the dubious accusations that will be thrown at right wing militias, muslims, the Occupy movement, left wing protesters, right wing protesters, people who oppose things the government is doing, etc.
Oh and let's not forget to throw some blame at North Korean secret agents while we're at it.
Did I miss anything?
I just found out, this is terrible. My thoughts and prays go out to the dead and injured, and their friends and families.
As for who did it,it could really be anyone, Islamists, Left Wing or Right Wing terrorism.
At least police have a person of interest.
You forgot "It's God's judgment on Massachusetts for allowing gay marriage."
And this (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/two_explosions_at_boston_marathon_iMR0LCkcwASg0RQfVsH1yI) is why the NY Post is a fucking joke...
Today is also Tax Day, if that's related to a motive.
I can't bring myself to watch any news footage. Saw a few pictures, including one of a guy with his leg just gone, and nearly puked.
I keep hearing reports that the suspect being guarded is a Saudi national. Then again in the wake of the Oslo attacks people were also speculating about Islamic terrorists, so we'll see.

From someone who was born in Boston... thank you.
Speculation is that it was either Islamic fundamentalists or right-wing extremists.Though Islamic nutjobs tend to be on the right side of the political spectrum anyway.
Oh good. At the New York Post we can just make shit up. What? It's not like anyone got hurt... [/sarc]I keep hearing reports that the suspect being guarded is a Saudi national. Then again in the wake of the Oslo attacks people were also speculating about Islamic terrorists, so we'll see.
According to the Boston Police Commissioner, they do not have a suspect in custody. (Or they didn't 15 minutes ago.)

I'm more inclined to believe Islamic for now, since the victims were civilians. Right-wingers historically have gone for government employees / targets, a la McVeigh or the Unabomber.
Of course, pure speculation until more info is released.
Oh jesus fuck, just heard that one of the dead is an eight year old boy.
Huh? So only Muslim bomb random citizens? Sorry, but I'm not going to jump to that conclusion until more reports come back in. As far as I know, it could be some American born loony.Of course it could be. But historically the groups have had different victim profiles. I'm not jumping to a conclusion; just speculating.
I can't think of any religious, political, or philosophical reason for this bombing. Doesn't mean there aren't any, but the attack was indiscriminate...

So my mother wasn't running but apparently was in Boston. She's okay though. One of my sister's friends was hugging a friend of hers who had just crossed the finish line when the bombs went off. I believe they're both mostly okay.
I've lived in the Greater Boston area since I was 7 (I'm 25 now), and have multiple runners in my family and friends. I basically grew up with the Boston Marathon as a big part of my childhood and have waited at that finish line for people a few times myself. I've heard from some more of the people I know, but STILL have not heard from more than I'd like.

Just because you can't think of a reason doesn't mean whoever did this doesn't have one. The reason may not even be related to Boston; this may just be the best place they can think of.
To be honest, I'm still leaning towards an anti-government idiot who is taking advantage of the fact that a huge event is taking place on Tax Day. If this was the LA Marathon, the bombing would have been in LA, so long as it took place on April 15.
Tax Day > in Boston it is Patriot Day > The Boston Tea Party....yeah....so far I'm thinking along the same lines; a possible teahadi/tealiban psycho.I can't think of any religious, political, or philosophical reason for this bombing. Doesn't mean there aren't any, but the attack was indiscriminate...

True, but those are still ideological targets. A marathon isn't an ideological target unless you're a culinary artist. But I suppose the WTC was technically an ideological target too.I'm more inclined to believe Islamic for now, since the victims were civilians. Right-wingers historically have gone for government employees / targets, a la McVeigh or the Unabomber.
Of course, pure speculation until more info is released.
The Unabomber didn't target government employees.
Also:
Eric Rudolph
Spokane Bombing Attempt
Holocaust Museum Shooting
Knoxville Unitarian Church Shooting
...and on, and on
Right wing extremists have no problem targeting civillians.
While I could see an Al Qaeda sympathizer being behind it, I could also see it easily being the work of right wing extremists. It is an international event, so you have the racist/xenophobic reasoning, its tax day, and Boston.
I also hope that this is not used to justify some new atrocity against the rights of the American people.It will be. Politicians are opportunists.

CBS News senior correspondent John Miller said there is “an individual in custody,” a Saudi national who was near the scene of the blast.
Miller said a civilian claims the person was acting suspiciously and chased him down and tackled him after the explosions.
The man is said to be cooperating with investigators and denies any involvement.

I thought the 'Saudi national in custody' was debunked as a rumor spread by the New York Post, and that when it was posted, Boston officials said is was a rumor and that they had nobody in custody.
Here's a nasty thought I just had: who's paying for the surgery? Is that going to be a problem?

It came up on the BBC live streaming from the press conference in Boston, the same person then asked the surgeon how the response training he had received in Israel had helped. The Doctor's face had "You are an idiot" written all over it as he pointed out that he has never received any training in Israel.

It's so tasteless, it may possibly blow up in the face of the 'shopper who made it. It may yet turn out to be a crazed tea party fringe element gone terrorist. The TP has been attracting the Alex Jones rabid believers type for quite a while.
It's done, she's stable. The arm was removed from three inches above the elbow. She's sleeping for now.That's good. It also leaves a good bit of room for a prosthetic to fit better. Is it her dominant arm?

Yeah. Right arm. I talked to her for a few minutes this morning. She's still in shock.

The tackling and the fact that his being questioned is treated as a sign of suspicion speaks volumes about how Islamophobic we are.

“I have done post-attack analyses on attacks around the world, trying to learn lessons. ... The timing here, the devices themselves, the ball bearings used—you know, that’s not some kid in his garage putting something together,” Lynch said.
Though he repeatedly said he didn't want to get ahead of investigators, Lynch disputed speculation that the devices strongly indicated domestic, rather than international terrorism.
“I don’t think the trappings are … hokey or homegrown,” Lynch said. “Having two explosions, 11 seconds apart, that points to someone who has more competence at this and has training.”
Last I checked, ball bearings can be obtained here, so the presence of them doesn't necessarily indicate that this is foreign.
According to an article on Yahoo! News, the bombs contained ball bearings. I believe it since I heard a news channel mentioning the same thing yesterday.Yup, these were shrapnel bombs (http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/15/us/boston-marathon-investigation/index.html).
Last I checked, ball bearings can be obtained here, so the presence of them doesn't necessarily indicate that this is foreign.
One of the comments said that he may have been talking about using ball bearings in conjunction with pressure cookers. Some others pointed out that that still means nothing in regards to whether or not it's domestic.
Of course it means nothing; Eric Rudolph did more or less the same thing when he attacked the Olympic Games in Atlanta. A few pipe bombs in an ALICE pack surrounded by nails.Last I checked, ball bearings can be obtained here, so the presence of them doesn't necessarily indicate that this is foreign.

This small sentiment actually got me kinda choked up...

Yeah, it sounds like it could easily be someone who took some advice from previous terrorist attacks.
Occam's Razor, to me, indicates that the more likely situation is a domestic terrorist, since that's the simplest answer that can fit within the facts.
Not to mention, if it was Al Qaeda, they'd be claiming responsibility for it, because they're terrorists with an agenda -- they want to strike terror into people's hearts and they want them to know who did it.
The person or people who did this want to remain anonymous. Maybe they want people to speculate.

I'd go with Zachski: If there's one thing terrorists love, it's the glare of publicity. Within a couple of hours of 9/11, Al-Qaeda had claimed responsibility, going so far as to outline how the operation was carried out (including technical details so everyone knew it really was them). Other terrorist groups such as ETA, PIRA or the UVF have all done exactly the same. The last time one of these far-right groups did anything, as far as I can recall they either all stayed silent or condemned the attack.

My heart and support go out to you guys too Rinella - I know I've been a bit mum on it.
...Incidentally, and I really hope this doesn't come off as insensitive, we're studying some stuff in one of my classes now I've heard a few times before but the class reminded me and it might come in handy for your friend. When she's feeling a bit better, have her look up Dr. Ramachandran's research - he's done a lot of interesting stuff involving phantom limbs and how to deal with them when they arise. She might even look into speaking to him over the phone or by email.
But lots of well wishing and hugs.

It's a cycle. Fucked up people create fucked up people, who make more fucked up people with their mistakes or evil actions. And nobody is willing to see past their fears and ignorance to try and solve the inherent problems that get involved in creating fucked up people; they spend their time instead trying to change regulations, ban this and that, punish more people more harshly to try and scare crime away, and react in fear. Instead of trying to create a world where these kind of people don't do what they do in the first place.

* Fight for better funding & improvement of mental health services.

CNN is reporting that a law enforcement source stated that they have a picture of a suspect, taken from a Lords and Taylor surveillance camera. (I'm posting from my phone, so can't post a link.) The report says they have a "dark-skinned male" dropping a bag in the area of the bombing.http://twitter.com/thinkprogress/statuses/324579872800399361
Of course, "dark-skinned male" can mean any number of things. And this report is unconfirmed, so it could be false, or it could lead nowhere.

Grassy knoll? In freaking BOSTON?!
What is that guy smoking?
I did wonder if this is the fate of all Conspiratards, that they get so mixed up that they end up claiming that
there was a second gunman on the grassy knoll on 9/11 at Rendlesham Forest in Roswell.
I will say it this way:
First of all, let me make it perfectly clear here that I am NOT defending the religion of Islam here in any way shape or form, in that, Muslims are deceived and spiritually blinded by Satan and his demonic forces, and, they are in desperate need of salvation through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
However, I DO believe that much of this so-called "War on Terror", (and, specifically, the "War on Islamic Terror"), is a hoax and a fraud that is being perpetrated upon the people of this world by the New World Order "powers that be" in order for them to implement the tyrannical police state, (eventually led by the Antichrist), that they want to have in order to control the world populations.
Yes, EVERY government on the face of this Earth is run by fallen and evil and wicked and sinful and power-hungry mankind, the United States government included!
**THANKFULLY, the Rapture of the Church will probably take place before this tyrannical world-wide police state is fully implemented here upon this Earth!**
And yes, I DO believe that those two explosions at the Boston Marathon were staged attacks in order to help to "further move along" the march towards this New World Order police state!

Not sure if these events are staged but what can we really expect when electing a Palestinian President and not expecting our land to wind up like another worn torn Middle East region.
I cannot tell the race at all. The images are too fuzzy---other than they are not black men. Which I am glad, because that would stir upa different can of wormsthe neegrahs.
No matter who they represent--it is going to open up a can of worms. But for the sake of believers, I do hope they are not white militants because ignorant liberals love topaint alltake pictures of us in that camp.
Apparently there are unaware that there are white people that look Middle Eastern...like...Sicilians.
Also, what is up with Buzzardnut calling President Obama Owebama? That's just awkward and how do you pronounce it? Oh-we-bama? Ow-e-bama?
They don't look middle eastern. Look Caucasian as fuck
I only heard about this early yesterday. I got really sick on Monday and was in no state to watch TV. Glad they got him relatively quickly. But how is this related to MIT?

Damn, I miss out on so much stuff because I don't have a TV.It is almost as if that constant 24hr news cycle is good for something.
I didn't watch tv for this.
Also, here are some myths and such about the bombings:

Some of these were circulated like wildfire during the first few hours with no real attempt at getting the truth out.
I figured that he's calling him Owebama because he's run up a huge debt giving his banker friends billions of dollars in bailout money and continuing to rack up record debt and giving money to the 41% who think they're entitled to everything without having ever done an honest day's work! (Not that I think he's actually done that, but I'm sure that's Buzzard Hut means. There's plenty of sources on Faux News that have repeated that mantra over and over and over.)
And thank you, Shane, for posting up the myths about the bombing. My mother-in-law really made her daughter furious when she wound up being circulating some of those on Facebook.

RAMALLAH, West Bank -- With the Boston Marathon bombings on their mind, hundreds of Palestinian and international runners participated Sunday in what was billed as the first Palestinian marathon...
Before it began, Jibril Rajoub, head of the Palestinian Olympic Committee, asked runners to bow their heads in silence for one minute in remembrance of the Boston Marathon victims.
“As we stand here at the Nativity Square, we should bow in silence for one minute for the victims who died in the terrorist act last week in the Boston Marathon,” he said.
OMG....I can see it now. Rednecks shooting at random Middle Eastern people, every convenience store clerk shot in the head, plenty of Latinos shot for "lookin' like a mooslam", Sikhs in turbans lying in pools of blood, paranoid dorks shooting National Guardsmen and cops who dare to knock on their door for a house search to find the terrorists because false flag - pry my gun from my cold dead hand.....Either that or a bunch of chickenshits who are all talk... :D
On a semi related note, I've been told that in Arizona it's legal to kill a Mexican you see climbing a fence. I honestly don't know whether or not to believe it. Granted it came from a guy who's mom thinks Obama is going to ban tampons.I really doubt that. They might think it is though.

It helps that Arizona also tried (or is trying) to bully schools into eliminating the Mexican-American Studies Department (http://www.courthousenews.com/2010/10/21/31242.htm) for "advocating the overthrow of the US government."Wheee tangents!
One thing I forgot to mention in that previous post was that they had already been identified in photos that were publicly distributed to spread awareness and help in catching them. They didn't even leave the area where people were actively looking for them, and went around like business as usual without seemingly any attempt to disguise themselves.
I had mentioned beforehand in another thread the composition of the bomb, and how it didn't take any real skill to manufacture even if you had to make the black powder yourself. It seems like the pair had just enough brain power between them to make a very simple pair of fragmentation bombs (probably using plans and recipes from the internet) and drop a bomb bag in the crowd, then leave. It doesn't even look like they considered leaving the CITY, let alone the state.
And really, they're actually not that much different from the "bigger" terrorists who get training. The trained guys can make bigger bombs and some are fanatical enough to sacrifice themselves in the explosion, but they still don't tend to be very bright. The attempted Times Square bomber, for instance, was trained by Pakistani terrorists and made a relatively complex car bomb made up up four different bombs (black powder, fertilizer, firecrackers, and gasoline) wired up into one massive contraption....which sputtered and failed to go off and used the wrong kind of fertilizer for a bomb anyway. He also forgot to remove all the VIN numbers from the bomb car and locked his escape car keys with the bomb, which let it be traced to him because he also paid for the car under his own identity. He also got a prepaid cell phone to try and cover his tracks, but he made calls to a Pakistani-based number connected to him. And he sent an email from his own email address to answer the Craigslist ad for the escape car.
The terrorists who actually make a decent plan and succeed in their goals are relatively few and far between compared to the people who screw up half the important steps and forget to hide their identity. Terrorism is based in ideology rather than competence.
Looks like there may be infowar influence (http://gawker.com/accused-marathon-bomber-influenced-by-infowars-478641825)
Cue conspiracy theory "they're trying to suppress us or make us look bad".
[GOP NH Lawmaker] Tremblay posted on Glenn Beck's Facebook wall last week, saying that the search for the suspects was going exactly as he'd suggested it would. She then goes on to suggest that the U.S. government planned to whole thing, but for what reason she does not specify. The message was posted Friday morning, before Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was arrested, for some context.
Just as you said would happen. Top Down, Bottom UP. The Boston Marathon was a Black Ops "terrorist" attack. One suspect killed, the other one will be too before they even have a chance to speak. Drones and now "terrorist" attacks by our own Government. Sad day, but a "wake up" to all of us. First there was a "suspect" then there wasnt. Infowars broke the story and they knew they had been "found out".
In her post, Tremblay also posted a link to a video of another radio host, Alex Jones, explaining why he believes the government is behind last week's attack.
One suspect killed, the other one will be too before they even have a chance to speak.
Remember when I made that prediction as a joke? Turns out I'm pretty good at predicting how conspiratards think.QuoteOne suspect killed, the other one will be too before they even have a chance to speak.
Well, that's already wrong.
Wait, wasn't it reported the suspect is unable to speak, but is communicating via writing?QuoteOne suspect killed, the other one will be too before they even have a chance to speak.

On the conspiratard front, I had to try my best not to laugh at this conversation I overheard at the mall while waiting for the bus. Some guy was talking about how Boston was setup in order to pass CISPA, then he moved onto the 9-11 truther crap, about how news channels were only allowed to take footage from certain angles, and how the economy isn't being fixed because they want to have a one currency for Canada, the US, and Mexico.The Boston bombing was done to force us all to eat broccoli...or whatever, fuck you. :P

Apparently this is a thing.
Just look at him! He's cute! And he has, you know, whiteish skin!
Is that some /b/ class joke or are there people who think he is innocent?
It looks like something a moronic teenager started because they think he's cute.
What draws women to these sorts of people? Do they think they can help them or something?
...Its like I'm looking at a pretty boy version of Yuno Gasai.
Daaw, but URGH! Daaw, but yeesh!
And he's even doing a pouting face in the pic.
I want to keep him.
In my basement.
FOREVER
This isn't new. Death row murderers get groupies. I'm talking super-psychopaths who'd peel the skin off the face of the chick they're fucking while fucking them just for kicks get all kinds of letters from fangirls.
Ironbite-it...amazes me.

Ibby, apparently it's a case of "You don't know him like I do" and "He really is a sweet guy". Ugh. I've worked with two murderers (long story) and they were nice enough guys, but I always kept an eye on them and never let my guard down.

I dub this phenonenon, "Stupid-Sexy Satan"
The the equivalent to "Stupid Sexy Flanders", except it involves evil nasty people.
Here's an explanation for "Stupid Sexy Flanders": http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StupidSexyFlanders
Well, I propose "Stupid Sexy Satan", in which a loathsome person, whom you hate or fear is so physically attractive that you start feeling other feelings looking at them.
I've definitely had this happen to me. It happened with Martin Bryant (my country never covered that one but I noticed him on the web. It wasn't a 'crazy Martin' pic but a 'cute Martin'), it happened with the initial GQ photo shoot-like pics of Anders Brevik (longish lair, youthful, pretty, nice stylish preppy outfit) and now...it's that Boston Bomber kid, who looks like the results of a Star Trek transporter mishap involving Syd Barrett & Louis Garrell (a french actor).
Now, I know that Satan, compared to Bible God is small potatoes & may actually be an unjustly slandered figure. However, Satan is considered "The Big Big Bad" in our world & alliteration is cool.
That said, I think these groupies are batzoid insane! *BLECCH*!

This isn't new. Death row murderers get groupies. I'm talking super-psychopaths who'd peel the skin off the face of the chick they're fucking while fucking them just for kicks get all kinds of letters from fangirls.

Like Freak out and stab one guy murders or the targeted variety? The former are a tad less surprising, but I'm not sure the rules let you get out of this without the story.
To the surprise of no one Rupert Murdoch is defending the NY Post for being the symbol of untrue reporting. (https://twitter.com/rupertmurdoch/status/325603844383969280)
Don't worry folks, he will withdraw this photo from print media that had been circulated.

...Its like I'm looking at a pretty boy version of Yuno Gasai.
Daaw, but URGH! Daaw, but yeesh!
And he's even doing a pouting face in the pic.
I want to keep him.
In my basement.
FOREVER
I know the horrible feeling. I hate it. He did these horrific, disgusting things but DAMN,,,HE'S TOO CUTE!
I dub this phenonenon, "Stupid-Sexy Satan"
The the equivalent to "Stupid Sexy Flanders", except it involves evil nasty people.
Here's an explanation for "Stupid Sexy Flanders": http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StupidSexyFlanders
Well, I propose "Stupid Sexy Satan", in which a loathsome person, whom you hate or fear is so physically attractive that you start feeling other feelings looking at them.
I've definitely had this happen to me. It happened with Martin Bryant (my country never covered that one but I noticed him on the web. It wasn't a 'crazy Martin' pic but a 'cute Martin'), it happened with the initial GQ photo shoot-like pics of Anders Brevik (longish lair, youthful, pretty, nice stylish preppy outfit) and now...it's that Boston Bomber kid, who looks like the results of a Star Trek transporter mishap involving Syd Barrett & Louis Garrell (a french actor).
Now, I know that Satan, compared to Bible God is small potatoes & may actually be an unjustly slandered figure. However, Satan is considered "The Big Big Bad" in our world & alliteration is cool.
That said, I think these groupies are batzoid insane! *BLECCH*!
I think the trope you're looking for is Draco In Leather Pants (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DracoInLeatherPants). This is when a cool or attractive villainous character has their actions, behavior, and flaws downplayed either outright or through the use of a sympathetic or tragic backstory. In this case, they see this kid (extra points) who could be considered attractive or cute, and in learning about the background of these boys, immediately shift blame to the older brother; it was the brother's idea, he was the extremist, he was the angry one, he had the problems, and he brainwashed this poor sweet boy into doing these things. Terrorism isn't part of the real Jahar, and now that his brother is gone, he can go back to how he was and won't want to hurt anyone again! We canchangehelp him!

Arguably, Hof, if Alex Jones, Glenn Beck or any of their cronies showed up in my area after a tragedy and claimed that the federal government was behind it, I'd probably have the same damn reaction.
...Stupid sexy Jahar...stop making your prison photos look like you're modelling. Stop trying to make me bisexual, you...you terrorist scum, you!

Well, the infowars thing was...fun. The facial expressions were like something out of an anime.

There was some initial controversy over the revelation that the Tsarnaev mother was also on the government watch list. Turns out Russia had wiretapped the family back in 2011 and there were some vague suggestions of Tamerlan engaging in a jihad. Combine that with the uncle saying that the mother had a "big-time influence" on him becoming more of a religious fundamentalist and her cries that her boys were framed, and I'm starting to think that she knew more about the bombing than she's letting on.
Mom of the Year, ladies & gentlemen! :P

The Tsarnaev family, including the suspected terrorists and their parents, benefited from more than $100,000 in taxpayer-funded assistance — a bonanza ranging from cash and food stamps to Section 8 housing from 2002 to 2012, the Herald has learned.
“The breadth of the benefits the family was receiving was stunning,” said a person with knowledge of documents handed over to a legislative committee today. (http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_coverage/2013/04/tsarnaev_family_received_100g_in_benefits)
