Men in military style uniforms already on the street. That was fast.

Someone who wanted to terrorize. The Boston Marathon is a big deal overseas.

Don’t know if they are connected or not, but minutes before the explosion North Korea said through their KCNA news service that they will start military actions immediately.

Patriot’s Day and the anniversary of Israel’s founding.
Coincidence? I think not.

Prayers up for all involved :(

Considering North Korea held a marathon to celebrate their deceased dear leader today, would it be a wild stretch to wonder if they were somehow involved in this?

OMG, FOX just showed a guy missing his leg with just a bone. Someone there said windows blown out and three people dead at wherever he’d been.

Prayers for all.

Sadly, I bet they will trot out “militias” or “Huttaree” or “white supremacists” before they reluctantly turn attention to the RoP.

Gents, I gotta wonder if this is Al-Q’s way of sending a message. Multiple devices, right near a lot of folks. Only wonder is it didn’t cause more casualties, or are things early?

Reminds me of Tel Aviv when Hamas brings in small explosives or has people blow themselves up..no evidence that this was a suicide bomber but probably someone just threw a bomb or left something that had a detonator and pressed the button when ready

Idiot - Wolf Blitzed just used the “unexpected” meme. YA THINK???!

News people show their true IQ’s during live breaking news events.

Obama and Holder will focus on elderly, white, Christian Sunday school teachers.

Or, because it's tax day, 15 April, the libs will sprint to the microphones to blame the TEA Party.

Who was in charge of security? I suspect they’d better be updating their resumes right now.
