I'm not dismissing this statement out of hand, but I'd really like to see what evidence this author has to support this claim.
The stories about this incident as I've seen them to date actually indicate the exact opposite. I had middle-school classmates who probably could have done exactly what these guys did in Boston -- and they wouldn't have even needed the help of their own parents, let alone a well planned effort with foreign assistance.
The really big story here is that it really didn't take much for these two mutants to shut down an entire U.S. city for an entire day on Friday while the second suspect was still on the loose.
“I’m not dismissing this statement out of hand, but I’d really like to see what evidence this author has to support this claim.”
That’s pretty much what I was thinking. However, it does indicate how much mayhem can be caused even by 2 malcontents without consciences.
I wonder if Boston has signs ALL OVER like we do in the NYC/NJ area reminding people to stay alert and report things like abandoned back packs. I’ve been traveling by mass transit the past few months and Newark Penn station is always being patrolled by cops with dogs, I’m assuming they are bomb sniffing dogs. Havent’ seen the same in other facilities, but I’m not in those facilities very often.
It WOULD be nice if every time something like this happens we didn’t have to listen to the absurd charade of blaming “the right”. Maybe they should just shut up until a person’s motives (or presumed motive, or even lack of motive) are discovered, but the MSM’s great fantasy of a violent right wing is despicable and just plain s.t.u.p.i.d.
I've seen various reports citing unnamed sources claiming group involvement and not just something "middle school kids" would do. Here's one example...
