Boston Marathon explosions?

[Transient]

lol yea probably, looks like he went down right where the side trail stuff got blown out.

There are reports of doctors pulling ball bearings out of people, and officials have said the bombs were IEDs.

[-Replicant-]

Actually it looks like his knees gave out from the shockwave.

Correct- he's alive. http://www.heraldnet.com/article/201304 ... -in-Boston

It was a terrorist attack- whether it was domestic or foreign remains to be seen. Death toll now up to 3, 140+ injured

Serious question to all the "it wuz turrurists" people:

Exactly what would a terror organization gain by attacking a non-ideologic public event such as a marathon? It makes perfect sense to attack symbols of capitalism, government or military targets, particularly when they're busy, but attacking a bunch of people celebrating physical achievement and drinking water? Sounds like a crazy nutter did this...for whatever reason, not al-howeveryouspellitwithbrownallahandgoatlovers.

I don't get how this could be turrirists...so someone please explain that to me. Sounds like more dumb yank anti-brown people war mongerin...cause that's been so long overdue these days.

Tax day bombings...

Obvious right wing nut jobs...

yes, it seems like 4/15 is an unlikely date for anyone else to pick.

[HM-PuFFNSTuFF]

Boston Knee Party?

[scared?]

It's tax day and patriot day in Boston...

Pretty obvious what kind of dipshit did this...

Terror organizations also target subway stations and Time Square (not exactly symbols of capitalism, government or military targets). It seems any place with a crowd will suffice...

[GONNAFISTYA]

Well...I'd categorize Times Square as a symbol of American capitalism/culture, so there's that.

And yeah, sometimes they target train stations, etc. But in the case of Muricuh and on Muricun soil most "terrorism" in the US is done by white people.

And? If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

Terror is terror, yo.

[GONNAFISTYA]

No shit, Buckwheat. The point is that yanks don't have to get all rape/war face until you know for sure....at least this time ffs.

[HM-PuFFNSTuFF]

thanks a lot Obama

[HM-PuFFNSTuFF]

Turns out the Saudi is guilty only of being brown and of being there when it happened. :Shocked:

[Eraser]

GKY, terrorism is about spreading terror: fear. What better way to do this than blow up the people who least expect it. Gives off the message that no one is safe, wherever you are.

Pretty sickening shit. Saw a real gnarly photo of a dude in a wheelchair with no fuckin' legs.

To me this seems like some homegrown shit. The bombs didn't seem too large. Just some fucking lunatic. Who the fuck bombs a marathon? I mean, who the fuck bombs anything, but of all things, why a marathon? Very strange target.

I've been thinking for a while that events like these would be the perfect opportunity for shit to go down. Go to the smaller footie grounds then your packed enough to know a fart can be deadly, televised and public interest too.

What would be even more surprising is if no one claims responsibility, what would be the point in making a scene without a message ?

[Ryoki]

What mrd said. The explosions certainly look like homemade stuff, with all that smoke and the great big orange fireball and the relatively small blast area. Black powder and ballbearings in a can?

What a weird fucking target though, how nuts can you be?

Boston Knee Party?

lol.

anyway. wtf is right. sadly we'll probably never find out who the perpetrator was. unless he played CoD ofcourse, then Fox is all over it.

[scared?]

The Feds aren't looking for Arabs...they be looking for white tea bagger types...GUARENTEED!...

and they target subways and buses because - aside from being a crowded, enclosed space where a bomb can do maximum damage - it's an attack on infrastructure in the same way that attacking a water supply, power grid or hospital would be.

ffs I know what terrorism is and how it works. You both seem to be completely missing the point I'm making (which was just echoed by mrd and Ryoki) that this is probably NOT islamic terrorism, but homegrown terrorism.

[xer0s]

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TERRORISM WORKS!!!

[Deathshroud]

Who needs Fox News when we've all got the Q3W terrorism speculation unit at hand?
