Explosions At Boston Marathon

[Deleted]

I really hope this doesn't result in hate crimes against Saudis.

i would be surprised if they caught someone this fast to be honest

More bombs are going off now seems america is under attack. I think North Korea is somehow involved.

Ok come on guys, use your common sense here.

If NK had done this there would be thousands dead.

Google setup a People Finder for Boston Marathon Explosions: http://google.org/personfinder/2013-boston-explosions/

Note they have turned off cell phones in that area too, due to risk of further device explosions.

Whoever put those pictures up earlier in the thread...I hate you (hopefully they're gone now, I'm too scared to check).
I'm at work and was browsing, came across the poor man with his leg, and threw up in my garbage can. It was extremely awkward to explain to my boss...

Anyways, this is absolutely terrible. I don't have any other words.

Now I understand why it is NSFW. Some people are quite sensitive to this stuff.

I don't understand why there ain't being more security and police surrounding an event like that.

cnn just reported that 'officials are working to dismantle other bombs in Boston'

The explosion at the JFK Library was in the mechanical room. That's why the commissioner can say there was an explosion there and the library director can say there wasn't bombing. Given that it's in the mechanical room, it might just be an eery coincidence.

hell of a coincidence if so :\

It's very unlikely to be Korea, because their point isn't to hide their actions. They would have had a press release about their success hours ago. This most likely does not have a national tie, but are individuals expressing ideology in the most backwards and horrific way they can.

I'm sure it wasn't meant to be a racist comment. Rich isn't an idiot. I believe he meant not holding him for his race because of things like 9/11.

Indeed, it wouldn't be the first time they grabbed the wrong guy.

There are hundreds of Saudi Arabians in Boston. The cops aren't going to just pick one at random without serious evidence, and the article flat out stated that he was seen on camera bringing multiple backpacks to the bombing sites. So quit trying to make it a race issue.

And this my friends is called poor reading comprehention leading to jumping to conclusions.

It says they have a Suspect. It also says they have video evidence of SOMEONE carrying backpacks to the area. The article says NOTHING about the SUSPECT carrying backpacks anywhere. Untill more information is brought forward, it is only you who are takeing the two items and immediately assuming they are referring to the same individual.

That credits them with greater ability then I think they have. However, if it was NK we would have seen a poorly edited video claiming victory.

No. If North Korea was involved they would have blown themselves up instead, and they would be the only casualties.

Kennedy School of Gov't at Harvard is being evacuated.

The NY Post is NOT a reliable source. Stop using them as one.

There is. But it seems like the bombs were placed moments before the explosions happened

Shit, that would be awkward to explain to your boss. At work.

Who cares what his nationality is?

It's pretty early to speculate one way or the other. I'm astonished by how many people are convinced without a shred of evidence. I understand the desire to want answers, but honestly just let the investigators do their job and read up on it as the information is reported.

[Warloff]

hell of a coincidence if so :\

It COULD be connected, but my spideysense tells me it doesn't make sense for a terrorist to target the empty and far more secure mechanical room of the JFK library when all his other targets were in public and meant to hit public.

And it's not uncommon for an explosion to happen in the mechanical room.

Hate crimes.
