Boston Marathon Bombing

[earlycuyler]

Watching this reminds me of the shock and horror of 9/11. I pray there are no more surprises in store and they found all the bombs.

Well, this was not as catastrophic as 9/11, or not catastrophic in the same way. As one poster pointed out, there are a billion cameras allover the place. Im thinking they already have some ideas on who, or are at least looking at the guy who did it.

What kind of sick **** blows up a marathon race?

If this is the work of Islamic terrorists, we are going to need a President with more balls than the one we have.

I'm from Boston and have a lot of friends and family still there, a few of whom I suspect may have attended this and I cannot get a hold of. Please do not play politics with this.

I pulled this from another site:

if you are looking for loved ones, call 617-635-4500. I have no idea what that is, but thought it might be worth sharing.

Oh, I know this is not like 9/11 in the magnitude...but it still reminds me of my shock as it happened....then, and today.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Shut up!!!!

Misty, please don't feed the trolls.

You're right please forgive. He won't shut up anyway as you can see.

Yeah....right.....an American would NEVER do such-a-thing, right??​

 

[eots]

most likely they have been following him for months...but did not...connect the dots or dropped the ball

Blame guns.
Blame Bush.
Find another bunch of white people to blame since the last one failed.

Is that what you are doing?

Authorities ID a suspect in marathon bombings - he is being guarded in Boston hospital - NYPOST.com

Authorities have confirmed to The Post that they have identified a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing.

The suspect — a Saudi national who suffered shrapnel wounds in today's blast — is currently being guarded in a Boston hospital.

A law enforcement source confirmed to The Post that 12 people were killed and nearly 50 were injured in today's blast.

Probably has nothing to do with it, probably only thing tying him to it is his skin color

Ya, we all know it was a tax hatin' Billy BoB supported and funded by the FBI.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

will obama be blamed as bush was blamed?

Be patient.

Any-and-all conspiracies are pending.​

 

[Black_Label]

i'm curious as to the lefties reactions in this thread. they are upset when someone makes it political, but virtually every gun death lefties immediately make it political.

most on the left, not all.

Nice job trying to politicize this attack asshole. The only ones that have been doing so are ultra-right wing pieces of shit like you.

 

[ba1614]

If this were Islamic terrorist, wouldn't they be all over the place taking credit ?

Good point. They do love to brag.

I think they usually wait until it's over before they take credit..

You call an 85% approval rating "blaming him?" Figures.

Here is a story about the Gun Deaths since Newtown:

One Nation Under The Gun: Thousands Of Gun Deaths Since Newtown

Please show me the threads about them....

Now compare that to the "We need to ban potato peeler" threads authored by every gun nut on this board.

Can't people just be honest for a change--on both sides of the argument?

Or the video of him carrying in multiple backpacks, right?

 

[SteadyMercury]

If is correct that a suspect was apprehended then a hats off and beer raised to the law enforcement responsible, that would make a capture in under 3 hours.

You couldn't even wait 10 minutes after it happened before making it political, dickhead? Go **** yourself.

Have you read some of your Liberal friends' comments on Lady Thatcher's death, How Gabby Gifford's shooter was a right wing gun nut? You don't like politics being injected into tragedies, don't do it yourself.

Makes it all better...carry on.

Terrorist Plots, Hatched by the F.B.I.
THE United States has been narrowly saved from lethal terrorist plots in recent years — or so it has seemed. A would-be suicide bomber was intercepted on his way to the Capitol; a scheme to bomb synagogues and shoot Stinger missiles at military aircraft was developed by men in Newburgh, N.Y.; and a fanciful idea to fly explosive-laden model planes into the Pentagon and the Capitol was hatched in Massachusetts.
