Glad he’s OK.

Am sure it’s a continuing nightmare there. Hope he can get clear soonest!

I’ve not seen any footage that goes to much earlier than the explosion to know what he is talking about.

Seven “so far.” The number keeps increasing. Certainly points toward an organized group. I wonder whether Boston is as covered with security cameras as London is...Scotland Yard is quick to round up subway and other bombing suspects.

Is why at 2:45 and why not when the first runners were running threw.

As someone pointed out earlier today in a comment posted on CNN's website ... that would just end up killing and injuring a bunch of Kenyans and Ethiopians.

Actually the article says there were 7 devices planted by the bomber......only two went off.

Wonder if it is that saudi national who got burned...couldn’t carry out the rest of the plan maybe.

It doesn’t get any worse than that. We have absolute morons running this country.

I think Hillary! actually inspired a bit of awe when she showed up (mostly due to her infamous husband).

When Kerry shows up they have a hard time not bursting into laughter.

News said today Boston does have cameras all over the area.....I suspect investigators and lawforce have these and won’t be released until they have someone in custody.

I think they have video from several different locations. I just pray we get the truth and they find these animals. Surely there are some real men left in Boston that will not let the Holder thugs walk in and politicize everything to protect the messiah.

I Understand,With the avg Marathon runner. My Point is. I know the point where the explosion went off. It Is 100 Yards or less from finish line. If you wanted to make a statement why not do it when Live TV is on . Most of the VIP”s sit right across from where it went of. Why two hours later? Ok too Who ever had too bring up me not being a first time poster. I looked it up and Deval still sucks.

WBZ still at 3 dead, number has climbed to 130 injured. Have watched that grow from 20’s to 30’s to 50’s then jumped to 97 to 103 and now 130.

This investigation will be ongoing but no doubt I think the good guys will get them sooner rather than later.

Airports are hyped...so they aren't going to get far..unless they go into hiding...and then our guys will flush them out just the same...lots of legs in this.

I suspect so, however reports are coming from all directions so better the facts be reported as close as possible.

If you pause the Boston video and watch the reporters....some were more interested in getting shots then helping out....you can see they likely got some pretty gory shots they'll sell to the scandal magazines etc.

Just saw breaking news that FBI is taking over the whole investigation though....that’s Holder. Sources are saying that the Boston police are pissed that Obama did not call it terrorism though...so a good sign.

I see your point, and gotta plead 'dunno'.

May be giving the bastards credit for waaaay too much smarts, but if it's 'vip' types the 'official' spotlight stays on brighter/longer, with any 'inconvenient' connections less likely to fall down the whitewash hole.

(or would be if we still had a free press that hadn't replaced integrity with fellatio pads)

But if the victims are just a bunch of average joe runners, the 'terror' message gets planted with effect, institutional amnesia is launched, and the media whores can get on with tomorrow's agitprop for Herr TraitØr.

Could be someone was on to them so they set these off sooner...at any rate..they did make their point...

Also it’s my understanding the number of fatalities, or size of the bomb isn’t important to them...as long as whatever it is gets the press. So location in a crowd is sought....

Keeping also in mind the many “International” flags in front of the stands at the finish line....

At any rate...they made their point....now lets hope they suffer for it!

Looks to me like it was timed for maximum casualties.

“Shots” as in photographs...

There should never be a photograph of an unattended injury/fatality.
