Don't get me wrong here but my question is why Boston's Marathon?
Is there any political background to it?
Were there important politicians for someone to try to make a statement?Would "terrorists" really target an event like this?
Aren't there "better" targets?Does it necessarily need to come from outside?
I'm just questioning myself out loud as I can not understand what the fuck happened...
Gov. speaks in attack...
I saw this terrible picture of someone without a part of his leg.
Fuck!Any updates?
Serious updates?- Patriots Day. So my guess its going to be blamed Domestically.yurimon

Every time someone writes "home grown" I think on weed and how i miss my garden back in sunny Portugal.
If it was a american born muslim, for example, would it still be "home grown"?
I always wondered why aren't any indians (sioux, apache, etcetera) involved when shit like this happens?
They would probably have more and better reasons than anyone else in the world to be a separatist group or something.
Could you get other name instead of "home grown"?
So, Patriots Day, Tea Party, Sarah Palin...
- I wish it ment this http://www.urbandict…yurimon
- but Congress enshrined the term "homegrown terrorism" in legislation
http://thomas.loc.go…yurimon - of course we are propagandized by tv so we stereo typeyurimon
- that's the home grown I meant.oey
- if they used home made i would think about porn.oey

According to CBS News correspondent Bob Orr, two bombs were inside trash cans near the viewing area close to the finish line. Two unexploded devices has been recovered intact, according to CBS News.
Orr is reporting that authorities have recovered surveillance video from the area which shows a man with what looked to be two backpacks near the scene just moments before the blast.

Wouldn't the start line made much more damage than the finish line? With everyone lined up really close to each other... This seems more like a statement than went farther than it was supposed to be. I think this was to draw attention and not to harm as many as possible.
Fuckin sad. :(- Or poorly thoughtESKEMA
- the starting line isn't in an urban area.monkeyshine

They're questioning a saudi national who was running from the explosion...hey jackasses, everyone was running from the explosion! I don't think it's foreign terrorism. So sad for my city though. On a positive note, many residents have offered up their homes to displaced people: http://jamaicaplain.patch.com/ar…. That is very cool.
- whats your hunch for it being domestic? , just curiousyurimon
- nothing more than a gut feeling. homemade IED, some similarity to atlanta bombing, but nothing moremonkeyshine

imo pale faces did that.

You would think the group or people responsible would issue a statement soon. Isn't it kind of futile to commit terrorism if no one knows who did it?

Could have been anybody from any background so idle speculation right now is pointless.
- No - there's a short list and limited MOs, combined with intelligence and evidence from the scene, there's a good chance they're gettin caught.mikotondria3
- chance that they're
getting caught.mikotondria3

They are pulling ball bearings out of victims, so they were definitely crude devices, nothing like the Oklahoma City bomb, not nearly as powerful obviously. Maybe pipe bombs of some kind.
Police are looking for someone in a black sweatshirt (narrows it down), and a Penske truck.

The good 'ol US gov will gladly "fix" this with everything mentioned here prior, surveillance/drones/control etc, in fact it will be just another money making opportunity.
they will do nothing to find nor address the root of the problem because that problem is them, aka the system.

CNN:
[Update, 8:55 p.m. ET] A Saudi national with a leg wound was under guard at a Boston hospital in connection with the bombings at the Boston Marathon, but investigators cannot say he is involved at this time and he is not in custody, a law enforcement official said Monday evening.
- ah thank you Cygmoldero
- So basically there was a Middle Eastern looking guy at the scene and they immediately arrested him. Same thing happened after Oklahoma bombing.ukit2
- happened after Oklahoma bombing.ukit2
- they haven't arrested him. And local police are emphasizing that he is not a suspect.monkeyshine
- Why is he guarded then? Why is he in the news now if he isnt a suspect?CygnusZero4
- their only trying to be politically correct, my bet is their watching him like a fucking hawkmoldero
- imagine if he was responsible then they let him go only to find out that was the guymoldero
- apparently he was tackled by someone as he was running away from the explosion.monkeyshine
- lol is that why hes in the hospital?moldero
- wow.inteliboy
- Everyone's been watching Homeland.mikotondria3
