Shep Smith referenced shotgun pellets.

. . .and it will work! Isn’t it strange that every disaster whether manmade or natural helps the democrats. Sandy helped get O elected. The 52% will and do believe everything their reichstag puppetmaster says!

Today is the 65th anniversary of the founding of Israel. Can’t help if that’s a player in this.

Sad,sad,sad.

It’s because of the sequester.

If we would send not only our kids, but more money to defend the blue cities , all would be well.

Jeff...this photo appears to be the finish line area....where there would be many people as the race was well more than half way through...looks like a well planned deal......I hope whoever is responsible is rattling their jaws close enough to someone who will turn them in.

I understand the word is out to other cities who are going into alert mode.

"...appears to be a much more sophisticated attack than what occurred in Atlanta."

Agree. That was a single device with a timer. This has at least 3 bombs, and while may have had a timer, was evidently timed to involve a lot of runners (not the first few winners - often spread out a lot) and a lot of spectators. You could argue that more Americans would have been expected to be finishing the race at this time, too, as opposed to the international participants. But that speaks to the bomber's motivation, which we'll have to wait on.

I will add that routine security inspections should have checked trash cans, so I'd be checking area footage over the past 3-4 hours to see if these things weren't planted in that time period.

I am hearing that in the VIP section there were some families of the Newtown victims..just wait, the media will say this was some Republican who wanted to get back at them for pushing gun control, I can already see it happening

I'm willing to bet the "media" already have their template ready to go and are just awaiting clearance by the DNC.

A few of the news reports in print are saying that as well.

Doesn’t necessarily have to be shot pellets. They could use ball bearings too.

Ball bearings would be just as effective.

It was the first thing that crossed my mind when I read that Newtown families were in the VIP section.

What a coincidence.
If they were, I smell a red flag, that's for sure. What are the odds they'd be right there? Exactly where the bombs went off? Seriously.
How convenient would that be for the left? Man, what a great crises that would make. Collateral damage for "the cause."

I hope this isn't true. If it is, my tin foil hat is going to be put on right now.

Wolf’s been a real idiot in reporting this....hesitating to call it anything but terrorism or a bomb. Democrates are in such a serious state of denial they can’t see the obvious in front of them.

I think Wolf is just stalling until he’s instructed how to frame this from the Whitehouse.

My wife tells me that the JFK Library is on fire. Not sure the media is gettign that right, but that would be an attack against a sacred figure of the Left.

If I thought of it the media will do it too..especially if that is where the explosion happened..I doubt it has ANYTHING to do with that but I tell ya, the media will REFUSE to admit that we have been hit while on Obama’s watch..I just hope to God it wasn’t someone who wanted to enact revenge on the Newtown families..but Im thinking its somehow connected to North Korea, some domestic whack job wouldn’t be putting bombs all over hotels in Boston..this looks foreign to me..just wait to see if you see North Koreans dancing in the streets then u will know
