Absolutely. If I get blown to hell by a terrorist. I WANT it to mean something to the people left behind and REMIND THEM their lives too a are in danger as long as we ignore terror.
It is the Boston Marathon, not the American Marathon.
Thank you for the screen grabs!
Remember the first rule of combat info (the fog of war)
The first reports from the front are always wrong.
The second and third reports are usually wrong too.
Maybe is was supposed to go off in the beginning....but if it was cellphone related and they used ATT, then it took longer to reach it's destination.
Nasty and like 9/11 it is right to post it in context.
The end of the marathon has a large crowd at the finish line and live media on the scene.
This is the best way to maximize fatalities and ensure live coverage (like 9/11)
ABC reports on Twitter that Boston police are advising people to stay away from trash cans. They suspect that the devices were planted in barrels or trash cans near the path of the race. The timing of the blasts suggests that the explosions were timed to hit when many of the runners would have been crossing the finish line.
Not certain of the finish = gross ignorance. Maybe the norks are to blame. This is so much the style of the rop though.
It’s boston.....
I think anyone saying it IS or is NOT the result of some accidental explosion, with absolute assuredness, both don’t know what they’re talking about. By definition.
It’s only been approximately an hour since this occured.
It would be hard to pin it on them.
***they called the OKC bombing a possible gas leak***
Yet a few minutes later ABC said that there were “six swarthy men of middle Eastern extraction, in blue jogging suits, seen running from the site.”
What incredible lack of security if they were able to plant bombs in trash cans.
Really? You are blaming people other than the ones responsible? And Freepers at that?
Maybe... Say a prayer for that too...
Affront to what? The truth? Deal and if you don’t like it, go watch CNN or some place that CENSORS
I suspect they were triggered via cell phones.
“Why the Boston marathon??”
Soft target with lots of people and publicity.
If it is terrorism and they are found to have crossed the Mexican border ILLEGALLY, this son-of-a-bitch in charge should be tried for treason!
