BOMBS go off at the Boston Marathon...
 

Not good. No news on dead. Many injured. :panic:

http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/15/us/bos...html?hpt=hp_t1

So far nothing has been said about bombs. Two explosions but, no details yet.

Explosions from trash cans???? Come on. It's not a gas leak.

AND they just said SWAT was searching for other "devices". If that's not a bomb, then I don't know what it would be. :idk:

CNN is now reporting casualties. 2 or 3. :panic:

I read unexploded "secondary" devices were found, so it's pretty safe to assume bomb versus accidental explosion.

Reporting 3 dead, 10 with missing limbs, and dozens taken to the hospital.

*edit* Fox just changed back to 2 dead.

Not good...

During the press conference they referenced a third 'incident' at the library, which would tend to indicate that it wasn't a controlled explosion.

At the time I saw this, the only information was there were two explosions which could have been anything including a gas leak. If there was a video where other information was stated, I couldn't see it due to work filters. There was nothing in the text saying "bombs". Obviously, now we know what it was and it's a terrible thing to happen. I don't know what's happened to our world.

The library incident was just a fire, unrelated.

Watch for politicians to use it as an excuse to call for a gunpowder ban.

Dateline or whatever just said one child dead and a bunch hurt. Local news says 3 killed, several hurt. There were some people from here running. Im sure.theyll be on the news later on the.week.

Evil :(

gov't is dammed if they do something dammed if they don't.

from my cousin who lives in Boston

"For those of you not familiar with marathons or Boston, it is as iconic to us as the World Trade Center. I think we celebrate Patriots Day just to have the day off for the race. This week, the public schools have off and many surrounding towns have festivals. I think most of these festivities ride the coat tails of the Marathon. "

Last information I saw, 130 injured (including several amputation injuries), 3 fatalaties (including one 8 year old who was spectating).

Fucking heartbreaking, and I wish I could have been there to help. Kudos to the first responders and the Guardsmen who were on hand to help save lives in the aftermath.

Thanks for posting that.

An eyewitness to the two explosions at the Boston Marathon today said that a “drill” was repeatedly announced before the bombs exploded and that he “thought it was odd” bomb sniffing dogs were in place before the blast.


University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15 News, “They kept making announcements on the loud speaker that it was just a drill and there was nothing to worry about. “It seemed like there was some sort of threat, but they kept telling us it was just a drill.”

The news station also reports that Stevenson “thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines.” Stevenson then describes hearing the explosions as he ran away from the scene, having just completed the marathon.
If this report is accurate, it clearly suggests there could have been some degree of prior knowledge of the bombing, which killed two people and injured at least 23. The fact that the explosions were preceded and overlapped by a”drill” of an almost identical nature mirrors other major terror attacks, such as the 7/7 bombings in London.
It is important to emphasize that the New York Times recently reported that most of the recent domestic terror plots in the United States “were facilitated by the F.B.I.,” suggesting that today’s incident in Boston may have been part of such an operation.
It remains to be seen how the media and the Obama administration will exploit this incident depending who gets the blame, but Rahm Emanuel’s “never let a serious crisis go to waste” advisory is sure to be in play.

Keeps climbing. 176 injured.

New reports say that there was not a third bomb found. The first two bombs were pressure cookers filled with nails, metal, and ball bearings. No wonder there were so many amputations. Bombs were contained in duffle bags.

Breaks my heart to see those that rush in immediately in the face of uncertain danger to yank away those fences and tend to the injured, whether it be police, national guard, or regular civilians. I know sometimes the police take a lot of shit (and sometimes for good reason) but these guys didn't even blink. But I understand that feeling of helplessness. I would hope that I would be one of those people rushing in, and not running the other direction.

These drill conspiracies are interesting...

9/11, London bombings, Sandy Hook, etc... there's a lot of them...

Source? Seems like a very poor one. Bomb-sniffing dogs at a major event like this are nothing special.

And since when would the New York Times suggest that the FBI was behind a terror attack?

K-9 unit <> Bomb sniffing dog
It's a major annual event, what better time than to run drills for specific teams.
Otherwise its just standing around bullshitting.

Conspiracy bullshit fucktards

More stupid, than interesting.

No, they're interesting. The fact that these events happen to coincide with drills of the exact same nature... interesting.

THIS is stupid:

Stupid and with perfect placements of the '+'1

There's stupid, and then there's asinine.

its a very fine line :lol:

Oh it's getting stupid now!

Several news agencies are now reporting that some "official who wishes to remain anonymous" has said that there has been an arrest in this case.

4chan has been finding a bunch of potential suspects as well.

http://www.infowars.com/boston-bombing-culprits-found/

God bless and fuck the internet.

:lol

Fucking stupid, Basically anyone with a backpack is a suspect.

People are seriously idiots.

One suspect dead and another in the wind.

Huh stereotyping fail, not homegrown or Islamic, never would of guessed it would be Chechnyan.

But still Muslim

Brothers.....26-year-old Tamerlan Tzarnaev (killed) Surviving Boston bombing suspect named as 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Parents live in Uzbekistan Russia (Muslim)

This is kinda interesting

What's happening now would tend to put the lie to that anonymous post.

Chechnya is an Islamic country of "white people". The radical ones are just as ruthless and committed to using terrorism to achieve their goals as their Arab brothers. The Beslan school attack is one example of of terrorism committed by Chechens.

Their target has typically been Russia rather than the West.

Oh Hell!

http://abcnews.go.com/US/boston-bomb...6#.UXFedbWsh8E

Comments have been made that they are part of the ethnic group called Uzbeks. I remember the former Soviet Union having issues with them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzbeks

I believe you. Race doesn't care about man made geographical boundaries.

One of the biggest fears for the people who's job it is to prevent these things are Chechen terrorists. I think the next big one (9/11 scope incident) will be committed by white skinned blond/red haired Chechen terrorists.

I forgot about the Moscow theatre attack.

This goes back to the old SCTV days:

I'm guessing everybody heard that it's all over. :lol:

Let's hope he lives through the hospital stay so he can talk....

Considering what Russia did to that nation, I'm not surprised.

Since I would be very surprised if he has anything sensible to say I would gladly trade his talking along with the cost of the inevitable circus of a trial and his imprisonment for his quick death.

The most interesting thing that I heard tonight, was that they also arrested two other men and a woman who are somehow involved.

Pictures of the initial firefight with police.

Wonder what would have happened if the guy had an AR instead of a camera? Man, wouldn't that be a big win for the pro-gun crowd.

"Why do you need an AR-15? Well, because sometimes there's a fucking shootout with police on your street and you have a tactical advantage that police don't fucking have. Merica."

the ghetto mothers say the same thing when the cops kill thier sons while in the middle of comitting a crime.

If he had an AR-15 then he'd probably get fucked.

In FL or TX, he'd get a parade, in Mass he'd get jail time.

Cool pics!

He didn't even need an AR. Even a .22 would have come in handy at that range and angle.

Would of been a bad idea to engage while the police are engaged, good way to take fire from the police as well as the brothers. They wouldn't have any idea you are just an someone trying to help them out and not additional suspects. All they would see/hear is shots fired at unknown target since you don't have a police radio and recognized as backup.

Should of took video instead of pictures.

Speaking of ARs, this news report seems to contradict the initial reporting that the brothers had one.

http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/04/2...-needed-a-gun/

I haven't seen a report that they had an AR15, I have seen several sites saying they had a M4 Carbine that was capable of burst, but not full auto. I wonder if Eric Holder slipped them one. :lol:

Right about all accounts.

And, could have called 911 and showed the police the other angle by bringing them in the back door.

OT. This turned up the other day. It's hard to believe its been ten years.

I wonder how big the class action lawsuit is going to be for violating countless people's 4th Amendment rights?

Thing is, police don't need a warrant under special circumstances

Now, I recognize some of the exceptions, however THIS is a first... as far as I can tell.

Such as?

Plain view, consent, frisk, upon arrest and there's something about open fields and shit too...

This is the first time that I can recall that houses were searched without owner's consent... If I were a lawyer looking to make a name for myself... I'd probably jump on this one...

Yep.

Of the exceptions, the only one that comes reasonably close to making a home search justifiable is this one:

That would [maybe] make it OK to search ONE home, not multiple.

And don't give me any "they consented" bullshit:

nope...not the way I read it

The way I read that......you have a killer on the loose....he may harm you or that officer. He may be in MULTIPLE houses. So the warrant would be waved for all houses the officer questioned his presence in, since he has no intent on using anything he finds in the house against the homeowner. Regardless if he busts into a meth lab or not, The only thing he's taking is the suspect.

I can understand that argument. I can see it being valid if someone calls into 911 saying the killer is in their home or their neighbors home.

I can't see it holding up for police going door to door because the killer is in town.

In the south? Umm no. First off 90% of the homes are well armed (statistic pulled straight outta my ass) and we'd have that fucker dangling in on the back porch draining his blood for future taxidermy reasoning should he have chosen one of OUR homes to duck and hide in.....and second...(I don't say this as some internet tough-guy. I personally know several tin foil hat wearin' anti gub's that would die in a hail of gunfire if they came knocking or breaking down doors here looking in houses) most southerners aren't fond of authority figures anyway...so we're not as likely to sheeple to random "inspections".

However...this is BAAAAAAHHHHston we're talking about. Where truly only the criminals are allowed to have guns (everyone else...as evident from reddit...simply has phones and ipads)

I'm still seeing this shit all over facebook. Not one person has gone back to say "Oops, this guy was full of fail, I shouldn't have posted this."

The art of trolling shall not be infringed upon by mere facts and other relevant items after the fact.

People's reactions (that I've seen) have been more of the "he was sooo right!" variety.

facts dont matter to trolls, or the FB nuts who want to use these things to push the agendas they back.

I've been known to share things I know to be false, just to unearth some of those people from my friend's list...

So now they're saying he was unarmed in the boat and never fired on the police; that he and his brother had one gun and it was recovered at the scene of the original shoot out.

It looks like most of the initial reporting on this was wrong.
