It may have been one of the controlled explosions the police have been doing with suspicious bags and whatnot.

I just love the censorship that takes place on the DP. A Congress woman is shot in the head by a registered Democrat and Sarah Palin was blamed. When a federal building was bombed in OKC, Rush Limbaugh was blamed. When an Islamist who has been exchanging e-mails with Al Qaeda goes on a shooting spree at Fort Hood, it's blamed on violence in the work place.

Was it yesterday or the day before on another thread on the DP where we were wondering why the Department of Homeland Security website was informing aliens, illegal and immigrants how to get food stamps, find a home and get on welfare ? You would think the DHS had more important issues to take care of.

Are you going to cry about the whole world when you're the one who is playing politics with a tragedy?
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

Hopefully third explosion was controlled. They have found unexploded devices and are going to detonate them on Boylston street.

Yeah, and look at what I thought about the conversation immediately after that tragedy. I believe I said it was prudent to withhold political conversation. You sure showed me, Jerry.

First bomb was supposed to cause casulties and bring in people to assist, second bomb was supposed to cause more casulties.

Typical terrorist. Also timed to go off when the majority of runners would be crossing the finish line.

That second part wouldn't make much sense as a terrorist bomber would likely be targeting the crowd rather than the runners, and the crowd would have been biggest an hour and a half ago.

The second explosion happened 10 seconds after the first, so it wasn't meant for first responders... more likely it just took the bomber 10 seconds to set the second bomb.

3 bad cookies don't ruin the whole batch, unless you wish to say most posters here are stupid.
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

If this can't be explained as a natural gas explosion or something other than planted bombs, it's going to be a long and crazy summer.
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

wait for the facts to come in. don't go with what you first hear. to often it's wrong.
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

I am doing taxes not near a TV. Could someone give me a no BS bullet point account of what is known and how many might be killed or injured and what is known about the cause, please. Thank you.

Absolutely correct. I don't know why everyone is competing to report every stupid thing they hear. Half of it's going to be wrong anyway.

You're not in a situation room where you knowing **** actually matters. Calm the **** down and just wait for an official report in a couple hours.
