AP Source: Arrest Imminent In Marathon Bombings [W:75]

Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

playing the victim card already?

No, not a victim, just an observer.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

The AP report comes as several news sources said investigators have identified images of a suspect seen delivering one of the explosive devices that killed 3 people and injured more than 170 at the finish line of the marathon.

However, there were conflicting reports regarding the arrest, which CNN also reported. Sources tell USA TODAY and several other outlets that no arrest had yet taken place. NBC also reported that there had been no arrest as of 2:15 p.m. ET.

CNN's John King quotes the sources as saying that surveillance video from a nearby Lord &Taylor department store was key in the investigation. Television footage also played a role, CNN reports.

Janet Napolitano said officials continue to investigate the bombing with the FBI as a solitary act of terror.....snip~

Lets hope this is the guy.....they seen someone deliver a package. Although 4 Bombs I kept thinking it had to be more than One person. Not that it couldn't be done by one person. He would just have to be real good.

That's my first thought, I too hope they have the guy(s). One a side note, the reports keep changing, were there four devices? Early on we heard that two unexploded devices were found, but all yesterday they were saying that wasn't the case and there were no other devices found other than the two that exploded.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

Which is sadder....the fact someone did this in the first place or that there are people here on both sides of many debates here on DP that are gleefully waiting to find out who it was for no other reason than to start pointing fingers and blaming the other side... IMHO, both are equally as saddening. Equally as dangerous.
Most will probably die old and alone.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

aside from usual suspects whining about an alternate universe that didn't happen...


I wouldn't be surprised if the sarin mail attacks were coordinated with this to make such small attacks seem bigger as they happen simultaneously.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

Pressure cookers???? OMG Who would ever think of using pressure cookers?
Pressure cookers are very common bomb vessels around the world, especially in India I read somewhere.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

I wasn't wishing anything but an arrest. your self inflicted delusions of victim hood is pathetic and sad.

You would be the first one to denounce an entire group of people if this guy turned out to be some redneck

You'd find some right in The Constitution that needs to be attacked

We know how you shameless hacks operate
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

Well first of all, I would have turned myself in in another state. Whoever it is is gonna get "special treatment" in Boston.

I am still waiting to see who this is. Part of me is curious if there is some link between the attacker(s) and all the Somalians Clinton dumped into the Holyoke area.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

Well, they have't identified the suspect yet, so I supposed that means it probably isn't a right winger. If this person were a Tea Party attendee I expect that the Justice Department would have tripped over itself running to the nearest mic.

I'd like to say that your wild speculation that the justice department would really just love for this to be a right winger is just as bad as the people speculating that this could be a right wing extremist. Wild speculation is bad in either case.

They already know who did this - Foreign nationals. This has nothing to do with Bush, Obama, Rednecks, or anybody else. With all due respect, let's not politicize this tragedy for whatever reason. OK?

Well, if it is a foreign born national, Obama can pretty much kiss immigration reform goodbye unfortunately.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

neither your nor buddy erod know me very well. both of you think political opposition are the devil incarnate and have no clue how to simply disagree without absolute vitriol. your opinion amounts to .... meh

Sorry, I'm sick and tired of Fascist Liberals putting The Constitution in the cross hairs every time some lunatic goes on a killing spree

They never let a crisis go to waste in order to push their agenda. The first reaction of regressives is "what inalienable right can we take away"

We've been told for days now by the MSM that "this was probably carried out by some right wing extremist". They've been setting up the next Obama press conference with victims in the background as props as he tells us it's "time to act" as he shreds The Constitution. Bush isn't any less guilty of this nonsense either. The monstrosity that is DHS was HIS idea and look at it now.

It's not wild speculation, it's just an observation on the political beliefs of the administration. Napolitano took a political hit for comments early in her tenure that right wing extremists are the biggest threat to national security. If this were a right wing extremist you'd better believe she'd be looking for a mic to say "I told ya so".

I didn't think of that. good point.

LOL, this is what you get when you only hire pretty faces and party talking heads as so-called reporters.

They might as well put Oprah on the case.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

Depends on how they got here. What border? How long were they here?

And by the way, exactly where and how will they conduct this trial? That could be dicey.

I disagree with you on this point, since the immigration reform is targeted at mainly Hispanic nationals (although there are other nationalities too) who have been here for many years. However, there could be a bit of truth in what you are saying, in that people are tending to misinterpret what this so-called immigration reform is about.
