Bombs Explode At Boston Marathon, Three Dead

[klunderbunker]

23 injuries reported so far. The bombs went off near the finish line within seconds of each other. No causes or suspects have been identified that I know of.

 

[Shocky]

They're saying now that 2 more devices have been found and are being dismantled. Supposedly they're shutting down the cell networks to keep these things from going off via cell phone.

Sky News reckons the one in the JFK library went off.

 

[IrishCanadian25]

I can't. This is just sick.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Bruins game obviously has been cancelled for tonight. This shit is just sick.

Don't open if you're weak of heart.

Who the hell would do something that drastic and devastating? And why?

Dear God. This is fucking horrible, so damn awful. Who could justify doing this?

Jesus, the same thing happened to my uncle during the troubles. My thoughts are with you guys in the States at the moment, terrorism is cowardice at the lowest level!

 

[The Butcher]

Totally didn't see this thread. I made one in the symposium. I just heard. Disgusting.

The same type of people who bombed the World Trade Towers on 9/11 in the name of God and their hatred for the United States. I'm not saying it was al-Qeada or Islamic extremists, but it's people with that type of mindset.

I'm sure the responsible parties, from afar, will take responsibility soon enough. Cowards.

9/11 was due to sanctions against Iraq and the U.S. presence there, along with our support of Israel. It doesn't take much these days. Given who's responsible, I'm sure their motives, in the name of their "God", will become apparent soon enough. There's little more godless then this.

They're just starting to speculate on who the culprit is behind the attacks on the Boston local news. They're calling it an act of terrorism, but other than that they have nothing to go on.

They've found 4 devices around Boston, but only two were detonated. Hopefully there are no more devices to be found, but there have been sirens going by my window all day, so I don't think the search is anywhere near over.

 

[ABMorales787]

Yeah, I'm not quite as convinced about it being international.

In an update, it's confirmed one of the two who died was an 8 year old.

 

[Shocky]

It very well could be domestic. It's Tax Day here, it could be some nut trying to make a statement. I'd put money on Islamic Terrorist though.

I'm more inclined to believe that this is domestic. In fact, my first thought was that it was just some maniac like the guys behind the Sandy Hook shootings who wanted to cause wanton destruction and get famous off of it.

 

[klunderbunker]

I never thought it was international for some reason. Just an instinct really.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

The Commentators are starting to blame it on right wing extremists... yea that'll go far.

I hope you know that by right wing extremists they're not talking about like, Glenn Beck. They're talking about neo-nazis or other supremecist groups, and they're probably making that speculation based on the fact that this is a relatively small scale attack that happened at an international event.

 

[Remy LaCroix]

Not really fazed by it since much worse things have occurred relatively closer across the border and all the stuff I hear on Al Jazeera. Nonetheless, my thoughts go out to the people up there.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

First question on the press conference just now:

"Is this a false flag operation designed to curb our civil liberties?!"

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

3 People confirmed dead now.

Edit: The guy kept screaming nonsense about "false flags"... take a long look at him, methinks!

Wait until we find out who did this and their motives. You will know what their justification is then.

It is better to not make any conclusions until all the facts are in.

Senseless violence continues....

The Westboro Baptist Church is going to be rolling into town - right on schedule.

Fuck it all.

How have they not been declared a hate group yet?
