Two Explosions during Boston Marathon?? what the heck?

[Rob377]

Being tax day, I can't help but fear some inbred, mouthbreathing, POS, McVeigh wannabe tax protester(s) is/are behind this.

I really, really, really hope that fear is completely wrong.

Mandarinn Oriental Hotel, Boston

Third device found in front of that hotel (NOT inside)

Fox is reporting a lot of people talking about trash cans.

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

Scanner reported a device found at the Kennedy Library.

I'm sure gun owners or conservatives will be blamed for it.

 

[snorko]

I read on facebook that somebody said suicide bombers

Video looks like both explosions came from within stores/buildings. I would guess that would indicate a drop and walk away scenario.

Crap, it hadn't even occurred to me it was "the" 15th. This kind of thing usually happens on the 19th.

Remember every major attack/attrocity. The news is quick to report...with a complete disregard for accuracy. My wife has a cousin that said she was riding the train to Boston for work today. I trust she's OK but I'm going to look with skepticism on any 'news' for a few hours.

It's also "Patriots' Day"
Patriots' Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bad vibes coming from this.

here’s a vine-video of the explosion: https://vine.co/v/bFdt5uwg6JZ

NBC is reporting carbon burns on sidewalk...

 

[popsmoke]

Is this the first official IED attack on US soil?

 

[ArcadiaGP]

CNN's wolf blitzer speculated that it may have been anti-tax groups...

... with zero evidence. What a ****ing tool.

 

[hoosierdoc]

Boston, tea party, tax day, patriot day, clearly Wolf is right. When I see IEDs I think conservative American groups

Bump for those who have not seen it.It is pretty clear there are fatalities.

 

[Evermoore]

Supposed reports of people hit by ball bearings..

 

[kiddchaos]

Yes. "Patriots' Day" is today, and taxes are due. Someone is making a statement but using innocent people.

 

[Rob377]

Supposed reports of people hit by ball bearings..

If you watch the video posted, you can see on of the runners drop in a weird way, like they just took a hit to the leg or pelvis or something.

All the blood in the pictures indicates a whole lot of shrapnel.

They aren't showing it, but there has to be video of the explosion. Bet it's being reviewed by authorities.
