Two Explosions during Boston Marathon?? what the heck?

[ArcadiaGP]

Confirmed that it was two "bombs", not gas line related.

Suspicious package being detonated.

Other devices found, unexploded, by police

Now more than ever is the time to ban 30 round magazines to stop this senseless violence.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think this is the first IED attack on US soil.
Time to start taking my bug out bag more seriously.

Report from a Boston hospital of 10 patients with amps.. :'(

BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT: Third explosive device detonated by bomb disosal unit at 600-block of Boyleston Street.

Latest report, 3 dead, 30 injured.

There are reports of unexploded devices found that did not go off.

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

Who really did it and why won't really matter much. Blame will be assessed by the mass media as follows:

25% Sarah Palin
25% "Assault Weapons" and "High Capacity Magazine Devices" working together
25% NRA and its members
25% George Bush

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

I tend to think of Muslim terrorists when I hear the phrase 'IED."

Damn... there was a primary and secondary? This was well planned.

Edit+++

Reading comprehension is my friend. I thought it was detonated ON the bomb techs. Not by.

Now you're profiling...

I tend to think Improvised Explosive Device and try not to jump to conclusions.

Reminder - Shut the hell up about politics right now. The MSM is doing a great job of embarassing themselves as it is regarding this story and who to blame.

(reminder of how ridiculous it is to put these sorts of current events in the "Break room". We really need a current events sub-forum -_- )

The pictures on twitter look awful. Definitely some bodies on the ground.

It should be posted in General Political discusion as I did

This is not political. And it should not be assumed political. People are dead. They weren't wearing their party colors. They were blown up.

No, "general politics" is not where explosions go.

Report I just read on yahoo is that Boston police report 2 dead, 22 injured. Police detonated a third bomb in a controlled explosion.

It will be political by the end of the week. Look for the NRA and Ron Paul supporters to be blamed.

"Suspicious item found at Berkley Street"

So it was basically an IED.
