What are the odds on any of them being mooseSlime?
Good find. As usual, we have to get real news from overseas papers. Apparently US media morons cannot spell “sleeper.”
Highly-sophisticated bombs that killed 3 people?
The bombs were designed to injure and terrorize. They were highly effective. What was sophisticated about them was their ability to synchronize two separate and distinct pressure cooker devices.
Meanwhile, the Mayor of Boston is telling everyone who’ll listen they acted alone.
Some thought the “force” that came out in Boston was over the top and not necessary. But our guys don't move tanks etc. like that unless they see something more than “two” suspects on the run.....
I believe fully this was done to show ALL the bast*tards, hiding in their holes, who they'd be dealing with if they opted to raise their ugly heads then and later!

Another goal was to get attention.
Interesting, was helping my brother pick up a used Jeep today and the mouthpiece was saying they acted alone.
Hey remember the green slime that came in the little trash can in the eighties? Why’d they stop making that? Also, why’d they stop making scratch n sniff stickers?
Imagine being the person responsible for “closed captioning” when the Mayor speaks.
The effect would have been much greater if they had killed dozens. In fact, a truck bearing a couple of tons of fuel oil saturated explosives coming at the marathon runners around the beginning of the race would have killed hundreds. Bottom line is that this attack reeks of amateurism. Classic Iraqi attack - a vanguard of attackers blasting away at police road blocks on full automatic to clear the way, as the bomb truck lumbers into the target and detonates.
The bombs were placed at street level, where they caused mainly severe leg injuries, including numerous amputations. Had they been placed higher, those would have become head injuries and decapitations... in other words scores of deaths.
It was the placement of the bombs that made them less deadly. The triggers and hardware worked reliably, and did show expertise. I'm pretty sure the investigation will turn up that a pro either trained them or handed them the triggers ready made.
Even the scenario I put up would represent a waste of human resources. A better strategy to be to park a stolen delivery truck filled with a fertilizer bomb next to some random office building and detonate it remotely after the driver is whisked away in a getaway car. This whole Boston thing reeks of amateurism.
That can't be. Mayor Mumbles on ABC this morning told George Steponallofus that the two brothers acted alone.
What happened to “we don’t know who they are but we’re sure they acted alone and this is an isolated incident”?
