Apr 15, 2013 8:19 PM GMTThoughts are with anyone affected by this.
From the finish line footage, the explosions, while dramatic, did not appear particularly large. I'm guessing home made explosive and domestic terrorism/crime. It's a bit 'low key' for AQ. -

Apr 15, 2013 8:23 PM GMTMore likely a home-grown freak. Striking on tax day.
Similar attack attempted a couple of years ago in Spokane on MLK day. But cops actually found the bomb ahead of time and diverted the parade. I believe they caught the perpetrator, eventually. -
Apr 15, 2013 8:29 PM GMTUnbelievably horrible!
Anyone got any idea of reasons why or who?
- Today is April 15th, tax day.
- Today is also North Korea's public holiday to mark the 101st birth anniversary of regime founder Kim Il Sung on April 15,

They did. He was given a life sentence last year IIRC. -

Apr 15, 2013 8:39 PM GMTI really shouldn't be diverting the subject either, my apologies in advance, but stuff like this incidentally frustrates me about the still-ongoing MSM blood donation ban by the FDA. There will be lots of calls for blood drives starting tomorrow, yet I and millions of others have to find other ways to contribute. -

I tell ya there is going to be an revolution.
It may not be a revolution against the government per se, like the French Revolution. But it will be a revolt against the unjust way society is being run now with all the profits going to the top and nothing shared with the actual workers who produce the increased wealth.
Up until 1979, wages grew with the increase in the productivity. After Reagan and trickled down economics, wages have just treaded water while the country's wealth has increased.
I think the apparent random violence against people is beginning of people striking out against this society. Congress isn't working and voting isn't getting the changes people want. Congress is controlled by corporations and the very wealthy. And Congress has written its rules so that there is perpetual gridlock. A minority of 40% can block the will of the 60% majority. Congress likes it like that. It serves the interests of the politicians. They have the rules written so they are never without power whether they are in the minority or majority. But if voting doesn't get the government to change, people are going starting striking out.
That's my assessment of the violence we are seeing in our society today. When the pain gets too great, the people are going to start revolting, in one way or another. -

I don't think so. Why bomb the working people when you are against the big money folks instead you should bomb the big banks if that is who you are mad at. -
Apr 15, 2013 9:26 PM GMTNY Post so who knows.
"Investigators have a suspect — a Saudi Arabian national — in the horrific Boston Marathon bombings, The Post has learned.
Law enforcement sources said the 20-year-old suspect was under guard at an undisclosed Boston hospital.
It was not immediately clear why the man was hospitalized and whether he was injured in the attack or in his apprehension.
The man was caught less than two hours after the 2:50 p.m. bombing on the finish line of the race, in the heart of Boston. "

Sure wouldn't suprise me much if this turns out to be the case.
