Explosion at the Boston Marathon.

Became a citizen on 9/11 last year. Oh boy are the CTers going to love that little tidbit.

Insane Mind Control "Manchurian Candidate" style theories begin in 3....2...1....

 

[Mister Earl]

Cause we're not bothering reporting all the stuff that will be retracted as wrong 20 minutes later?

How about you share your knowledge instead of whining about it ....

I stopped following the fark thread when I came to work. They've got a link there that has a webcast of the police scanners. I'd link it here, but fark is blocked at work.

So, the answer to the question of whether the terrorist bombing was carried out by a caucasian American citizen or a foreign Muslim is "yes"?

Insane story, isn't it?

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

So to follow precedent we will be invading Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

We'll need the Navy for the latter, for obvious reasons.

How is it I learned more about the goings on from the bloody Fark threads than I am here? I expected more from the JREF boards.

What did you expect to see here?

Yahoo News.

You'll have to scroll up in the Latest Developments

None of the local stations are reporting this. I think this is internet gone wild.

That's going to require some pretty tough troops. Bostonians have a very caustic wit, and I foresee a lot of troops coming home with some very hurt feelings.

Luckily they are already there.

I'm actually proud of the local stations here. They seem to be waiting for official word before jumping to speculation.

 

[dudalb]

I was surprised that they hadn't found this kid yet. And then I remembered that Christopher Dorner was able to hide out in Big Bear for several days with pretty much all of Los Angeles law enforcement looking for him.

And they are going very slowly, out of fear the guy has a explosive device on.

Is that like being ionized?
Maybe they bought some fancy "air purifying" fan and it radicalized them?

Taking bets as to how long until Alex Jones spouts total crap about last night's events.

Insane story, isn't it?

Yes. I think the whole "possibly-disaffected Chechnyan youth" thing threw everyone for a loop.

It certainly did to me.

 

[Mister Earl]

Have you been to Fark? Let's just say that standards there are not very high. Or even visable at most times.

I would be amazed if he wasn't already doing so, but I'm not going to look.

 

[Caper]

Today is a sad day to be a newspaper.

 

[zeggman]

Well I've never been to Fark, but I've been to Oklahoma.

The moment his show starts.

Never Farked in my life.

BTW: Red Sox game cancelled to prevent any more Boston suffering.
