Explosion at the Boston Marathon.

[Biscuit]

And Boston was where the original Tea Party occurred.

There is a lot of symbolism in that city's history.

Officials are treating the JFK library and marathon incidents as related. If you are in Boston stay home.

I'm going to say it has nothing to do with tax day, or far right wing. Not sure about domestic terrorism since I'm not sure how to clearly define that.

I am thinking terrorist either foreign or with foreign influence. Probably a Patriot Day target, and marathon chosen for the crowd.

It's only Patriot Day in Massachusetts.

Police guy just said that they weren't sure if the JFK library thing was related or not.

JFK library fire appears to be unrelated. Was in a mechanical space.

Sorry no links, I only heard this third hand, and the link I do have to the statement from the library won't open. (Too many people trying to read it I think.)

Boston Police Commissioner said it's possible they're related, though at this time, they're not sure.

That thought was running through my mind too.

Well, it is the day after the Pyongyang marathon:

Patriot's Day.

And yes, it is.

Hmmm... I hope it wasn't. I'd rather a coincidental mechanical fire.

It's also Kim Il-sung's birthday, but it's still probably nothing to do with the North Koreans.

This is true, but I doubt it's the ghost of Edgar Allen Poe.

I'm just speculating, though. I think it's highly likely that this was a only partially realized cluster attack by right wing domestic terrorists who probably cooked the idea up around the last election, and that the date and location(s) were anything but coincidental.

wtf is up with these things happening in April?

I hope they find the bastards who did this and nail to them wall, show trial style.

 

[BenBurch]

This is fog of war stuff. I am reading contradictory supposedly official things.

NYPost says suspect is a Saudi national. But it's the NYPost.

Also 4 bombs in trashcans.

This would be the link about the statement from the library, if it opened;

You're not the first to notice. Waco, OKC, Columbine and now this. April 19 was and is a watch day by the domestic FLEAs and IC.

 

[StankApe]

I don't care what your personal political proclivities are, acts of terror committed against your own countrymen is just low.


ETA: (if that is indeed what this is)

No, it's very hard to see what they could possibly think doing something like that would accomplish.

Forum lefties... crushed they can't blame this on the Tea Party.
