Explosion at the Boston Marathon.

A modern security camera can be quite small. We have them on the outside of our building in small sealed, self contained 'bubbles' with built in pan and tilt motors so that could be one.
If it is a security camera why would it be watching the other side of the road and not the building it is securing?
 
Isn't an argument about what people call a political party rather off topic? Take it somewhere else!
 
I just hope the CT crowd does not put us through the same thing they did over the "missing" Pentagon videos. It would play right into the hands of the "false flag" enthusiasts.

If it is a white nationalist thing, watch for them to start beating that drum soon.

Is there any indication that it is ? Here in the UK the message we're getting is that either the perpetrator is either unknown or that law enforcement hasn't released any information as to their identity.

The nature of the target seems to suggest this, that's about it. It is not a high-value ecconomic or strategic target, nor one of any significant political importance. More in keeping with the whitenationalist tactic of convincing people that the government is unable to protect them. Then there is the sugeestion already raised by one of their useful idiots that it might be a false-flag operation. They are very fond of calling stuff "false flag."

The sooner the white nationalists start suggesting that it is false flag, the more certain we can be that they did it.

Here's a very interesting article about the challenges faced by the trauma surgeons upon encountering so many victims all at once with mangled limbs and blast wounds. I recommend reading both pages of the article. It talks about how some patients, upon waking up, felt extremely lucky because the last thing they remembered was seeing themselves bleeding out and assuming that they were not going to survive.

"In the moments after the explosions, some patients recalled that they “thought they would die as they saw the blood spilling out,” said Dr. George Velmahos, chief of trauma services at Massachusetts General Hospital. When they awoke Tuesday and realized they were still alive, they said they felt extremely thankful, some even considering themselves lucky, Dr. Velmahos said.

“It’s almost a paradox,” he said, “to see these patients without an extremity to wake up and feel lucky.”

I don't know how I'd feel right away post-op, but there are far worse things in life than losing a leg in the First World. Far, far worse.

As bad as some things have been, no matter how long a stretch in the past I've made do without luxuries like power or running water, just knowing by birth and nationality I have it better than probably 70 percent of the people alive has kept me unable to feel too sorry for myself.

Yeah, I think, I hope, I could lose a leg and still feel lucky to be alive. YMMV. :)

My own personal prejudices also lead me to think it will be a right wing extremist but, keep in mind, that is because of a prejudice.

However I am thinking it is a domestic attack. And, who knows, maybe we will have a left wing extremist group. I don't know what they would think a bombing would accomplish for them (at least creating anarchy fits in with with an extremist right wing agenda) but you never know. It could be the case.
 
A girl I work with is already posting on Facebook about how 'the government messed up' with a picture showing two screen shots of the same picture being used for one of those adults killed at Sandy Hook Elementary and as one of those killed at the Boston Marathon bombing. The caption also asks 'how many times can a person die?'.

So FOX News (the screen caps are from FOX) messes up and runs the same picture twice and this is evidence that the government messed up how? It seems to be they think it proves both were false flags.

Sad.

That just sucks. So they pressured the poor roommate in a 5 hour interrogation, made sure all the neighbors thought the 3 men were involved, and took stuff, probably all the computers which of course students need, and all based on the fact one of the roommates was there and they are Saudi Nationals.

I sure hope they actually had a reason besides bigotry. And I hope they don't railroad these guys if they weren't involved.

...and if they didn't check this lead out, and if it turns out these were the terrorists who planted the bombs, and they manage to escape the country, then people like you would likely be one of the first people to complain about Police incompetence.

Exactly.

Fox News did not post that picture as one of the dead spectators; of the victims, only the identity of the little boy has been released.

The screenshot in that graphic is actually fake.

ETA: correction. One of the women was identified this morning as Rand Campbell. However, she looks nothing like the Sandy Hook principal, and that hoaxed screenshot was circulating since yesterday.

The third victim hasn't been identified by name, but is a Chinese national.

My personal prejudice leads me to believe it was the "Sea Shepherds." Those guys are dicks.:D

There are reports today that there was looting in the aftermath of the explosions.:(

This doesn't bother me. From the perspective of the people who were there, I imagine it looked a whole lot like the world was ending - in which case, who cares about currency.
 
It wouldn't surprise me if they were taking jackets for victims. A lot of them were in shorts and sports bras, etc - clothing designed to keep people cool; not what you want to be wearing if you're going into shock. Jackets make sense.

I'm sure one or two scum-suckers might have grabbed some loot, but the even more scummy scum-suckers are the ones who set up "charities" but have no intention of sending the money to anybody but themselves.
