Explosion on scheduled Marine 5k route

An explosive device went off Saturday in a garbage can on the boardwalk in a New Jersey beach town along the race route for a Marine Corps charity run, authorities said.

A second suspicious device was reportedly found, and bomb dogs are searching for any additional ones, authorities said.

The explosion occurred in Seaside Park. No injuries have been reported, the FBI said.

According to the Ocean County prosecutor’s office, the race was delayed, which “thankfully avoided a large number of runners in the area.”

A Seaside Semper Five race volunteer told CNN’s Anne Woolsey that police and local law enforcement made the decision to shut down the race.

FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Joint Terrorism Task Force and local law enforcement are investigating, an FBI official said.

“We encourage everyone to stay away from the vicinity and allow law enforcement to render the area safe,” the official said.

If they catch the person who did it, he should be tied to a rocket and launched over the grand canyon, or just pushed out of a helicopter at 5000ft onto a rocky canyon floor.

Even in the case of Islamic extremism, 99% of terrorist acts in America tend to be some home grown person who is more mentally unstable than an actual agent for some organization overseas. Checked up the story a few times today, no one really expects it to be from ISIS or something like that. Maybe ISIS sympathizers but time will tell.

I read they found 3 additional explosive devices along the marine route, so bringing the total number to 4. Im going to go out on a limb here and say the new jersey and new york explosions are related, its impossible for it to be coincidental.
