Will whoever changed my thread title please change it back

I'm assuming your thread was merged into an earlier thread.

No, mine was the first and the title was subsequently changed when reports of an arrest were made.

The title wasn't changed, the threads were merged - and the combined thread took it's name from the other thread.

Eight-year-old boy, 29-year-old woman and University of Boston grad student killed in the attack

183 people injured, at least 23 of them in critical condition and 'a lot' of amputations have been performed

An arrest has been made in the Boston marathon bombing and the suspect will soon be brought to court after a 'dark-skinned male' was identified from two separate videos provided to the FBI.

This afternoon the FBI announced there had been 'substantial progress' in the investigation after they analyzed surveillance footage from the Lord and Taylor department store and revealed it showed the person planting the second bomb.

Because of that video - and local news footage - authorities were able to get exactly what they have been looking for - someone coming in and dropping a package in a black bag before quickly walking away again.

Sources say the video shows a man wearing a backwards baseball cap talking on a cell phone and dropping a backpack at the second blast site.

Amateur pictures taken by someone in a nearby office building may show the man responsible running away from the scene - though this is only speculation.

'I went to the window and I was looking in the direction of the finish line. I saw simultaneously a runner go down, a huge explosion, and then a deafening roar,' Benjamin Thorndike said.

'I had my camera in my hand, and I just pushed the rapid-shutter button down and just took 25 pictures over the course of what felt like a long time, but I think it was only 15 or 20 seconds.'

He added that he thought it was strange that the man was running away from the scene while everyone else was instinctively crouched down and taking cover.

Whatever. I just didn't want people to think I was jumping to wild conclusions.

With the story of the "arrest" now getting walked back, the whacked-out far left liberals' dream still might live on?

I think the "headline" might be mine. But I also seem to have left off the question mark.

My bad.

Two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing have been singled out in surveillance videos of the scene, sources told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday.

U.S. counter-terrorism and law enforcement officials told The Times that the suspects in the Boston bombings were seen in a department store video that caught images of a man leaving a backpack near the finish line.

Salon is correct in that, if this is a lone crazy white guy, everyone will talk about the meds hes on and what video games hes into, and eventually we'll shrug it off as something we cant control. However, if the bomber is a lone crazy muslim, especially an american muslim, it will racket up racial tensions, feed into hate and stereotypes, and cause finger pointing and endless speculation on who he was "secretly working for".

 

[Ravi]

Sounds like they don't yet know who they are from the article. I wonder if they'll release the video to the public to help identify.

I bet it's the first time in a long time that the staff of Salon are in deep prayer and getting seriously religious wishing the bomber to be white conservative.

Boston Hospital is being evacuated by police.

Interesting pictures from the Daily Mail (not graphic)

Is this the man? While everyone seems to instinctively cower - the man dressed in black and highlighted - appears to run away at speed from the scene in the opposite direction to everyone else who was caught up in the blast

Salon's prayers are not necessarily going to go unanswered.

Then again, who knows?

One image I found COULD make some people jump to a conclusion that a white guy might be (at least theoretically) implicated.

CK is the one who shared the images here, first, as far as I can tell.

NOTE: nobody shown in the pictures from that location on the sidewalk where one of the bombs went off is necessarily a suspect.

If two bombs just went off, I would run also

CNN: Speculated that police are watching someone. Then leaked to media they have identified the bomber so they could see how he reacts to the news. Then we hear the hospital is being evacuated. He could be a patient who just saw this on TV.

 

[IlarMeilyr]

Wow.

If the person of interest is now a suspect, and was getting treated at a hospital, then maybe some kind of ruse to get him out would be useful?

I have read some books with more convoluted plot lines, but I never mistook them for credible.

I just picked this up at Reuters. That the suspect is identified.

Agreed in the general sense. But everyone else is just beginning to react. Hence the interest in that still.

I was thinking the other day of that Saudi student, who if innocent must have had the worst moment of his life standing at the finish line watching the Marathon, cheering away, having a great time, and then realizing a terrorist bombing just went off.

It would be a holyfreaking toledo moment for the poor kid.
