Jason Sickles, Yahoo News:
A CBS News producer on the ground in Boston said she just heard a third explosion in the area. A police officer near her told her he thought it sounded like a bomb going off.

Wolf and Shepard both sound like idiots, blabbering because they don't have any idea. Fuck, it could be the Irish Republican Army for all anyone knows.
I'll check back at the end of the day when someone might actaully have a clue instead of listening to assinine guesswork all day long

May not be that odd of a thought given the date and the "Boston Tea Party" history. I mean, if an anti-tax person was going to make a statement like this, what date would they choose and what city might they choose? Just sayin'.

Prayers for the victims.



Oama just got a gift. Pay attention to how this is portrayed... Biden just called it a bombing..Watch the parallels in what comes out of the white house to what came out during 9/11

It's kinda convenient, given that today for the 1st time ever... gold and the markets are falling at the same time. Overseas markets are gonna tank tonight... US markets will tank tomorrow.. they just got their excuse..

Yep. Until the world can be rid of these horrible people, don't take away our means of protection. :)

And before anyone goes blaming Obama for anything on this - just remember that he has continued and expanded every single Bush policy that everyone hated. So if anything, this could have happened just the same under Bush. I can't think of one policy that Obama has put into place that would allow this type of thing to be any easier than before. Just trying to quell the argument before it starts.

Amazing that things like this can still happen in crowded situations.

Your joking right? How would Obama have anything to do with this? Blaming Obama for this recent bombing in Boston is like Blaming Bush for the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Yeah, we all know who blamed Bush for that?

Authorities ID a suspect in marathon bombings - he is being guarded in Boston hospital


By guarded I hope they mean by a Jack Bauer type. Sticks the point of his gun in the wound and asks a question or two.

Casualty numbers are going up. Did they ever figure out who was behind the '96 Olypic's bombing? This one reminds me of that, since it's carried out during an athletic event.

Third blast wasn't authorities detonating any found device. Apparently the third explosion went off on it's own.

This is what they get for not putting up some "bomb-free zone" signs. Let's have a national discussion about common sense bomb control. 90% of bomb owners support further background checks and closing the bomb show loophole. Oh, wait.....

FUCKING BASTARDS! :evil:


Is one innocent death more tragic than another? It pisses me off how people differentiate life lost from life lost. Front page headlines after Newtown were" 20 children killed! 20 children killed" and then way back in section Z on page 346: "6 teachers killed"

Now it's 8 year old killed! 8 year old killed!

Our culture is driven completely by idealized emotion.

It's absolutely more tragic when a child dies. They haven't had a chance to enjoy life like an adult has. They're a pure defenseless victim. Unbelievable.
