No you aren’t loath to mention it, less than an hour since the explosions occurred and you are already spouting conspiracy BS. You couldn’t wait to get on here to “mention” it.

It seems as though everything has to be a fed gov't conspiracy on FreeRepublic nowadays, irrational TRUTHERISM has taken over FreeRepublic.

“Gosh... who could have done it?”

According to Nappy Pants and Obummer, could have just as likely been your 89-yr old grandmother than anyone else.

Lying to ourselves because of PC is causing death and injury. . .all because we don’t want to offend those that want to kill us.

What. . .is Obummer going to classify this attack as “work-place violence” like he classified the Ft Hood shooting?

Didn’t Boston celebrate Patriots Day on April 15th until the terrorist attacks happened on 9-11 when they moved it to Sept. 11th?

CBS’ Kylie Atwood witnessed first explosion, ran to her right, into the area where a second explosion occurred. She reports there has been a third explosion in an area where police found another explosive. She thinks they detonated it. Scott Pelley, who interviewed her, concluded it was entirely possible that all this was caused by an accidental gas explosion.
Now reporting protective measures being taken at the White House.

Now Cavuto is mentioning that the winners and elites had already finished running and the stragglers were hit. Moral of that story?

Much as I dislike promotion of the theory this early (no evidence yet, more like you hope it is), make me wonder that either it is or the Obama is saddled with an event he can’t just spin Alinsky-style: this sort of thing will demand a real classic American response, not a “workplace violence” dismissal or “legislative launchpoint” opportunism.

The network can(?) be taken down to the point that only those ‘whitelisted’ numbers can use it. Not sure the status of that agreement in the northeast.

People overload the voice, data, and SMS channels with ‘OMG’ messages and first responders can’t complete a ‘call’.

Not sure if the whole bit of restricting the network is implemented though. Agreed to for sure. It makes sense.

Sorry, don’t follow him. Just crossed my mind, in the midst of everything going on. I apologize for riling people, and will for now just not comment.

It appeared to be a low yield explosion — not c-4 or other military grade explosive.

No, you’re not. You’re a nutcase like Alex Jones. He’s the one who got it from.
