- - Explosions at Boston Marathon (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=203749)

I say enough with the loopy politics, either way. One person has been brigged, there is room for more.

Three people dead, 144 wounded, 17 critically, at least eight amputations performed already...

And people are crying because they're afraid that "one of my people" may have carried out that the attack. The bodies haven't even cooled off yet, and all people can say is "boy, I hope one uh them libruhls did this!"

Unbelievable.

In regards to Al Qaeda, I'd imagine if it is an Islamic militant it would be a 'fanboy' rather than a fully fledged card carrying AQ member. In fact, AQ would probably be as surprised by it as we are (hence why they've not taken responsibility) until someone gets a video like our guys made before they hit London.
But yes, my second guess would be domestic political.

Since when do domestic quarrels use ball bearings in their bombs to cause as much damage as possible ...?

Sounds suni to me :yep:

JFK had a problem and stood up to that problem ending his life with unproven (so far) co-operation between Cuba and Russia.

What if ... on this same well known famous persons birthday three bombs are planted to go off with only two doing the dirty deed injuring over one hundred and thirty innocent people and killing three so far ...?

What if North Korea is so mad at USA they fund an evil attack on Boston, home of Secretary of State John Kerry, using their friends in Iran who in turn use their contacts in the USA to do this terroist deed, but of course have learned by now not to mess with USA if they know who did it?

I think this will be a mess to solve and perhaps I've seen too many movies, but don't the biggies kill the little guys they use or at least turn them over to the authorities and plead no prior knowledge of such a thing?

Do I listen to them at times? Yes. Do I always agree? No. I saw you hinting I would support the people and mentality behind these horrendous acts and felt I needed to call you out. Now, if you really were not saying that, fine, but that is how I took it.

Fair enough, I admit my writing was a little vague looking back at it and could have been misinterpreted, not my intention.
In regards to the rest of what you have said...well, I shall respect Neals judgment and remain silent.

Ball bearings and nails are pretty common ingredients in a bomb designed to injure and maim over a while radius, acting in a similar manner to a claymore or fragmentation grenade. They were used quite a lot during 'The Troubles' over here, including during one particularly gruesome detonation at Hyde and Regents Park (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyde_Pa..._Park_bombings)

Ok, no hard feelings:salute:

Bottom line, just an awful tragedy, just hope we get the truth.

Could be that it's to early to speculate, but possible motive for this attack: it's not like people in middle eastern countries are running around for fun.

Very sad & tragic. :nope:

My oldest daugther was asking serious questions over the phone, and was scared that it was going to happen here. :down:

Really bad really really bad :nope:

My condolences to all the victims

very sad indeed.

my condoleances to all the victims also.

Just saw some more footage.

So much blood on the ground.

Whoever did this deserves a long, painful punishment.

For what its worth....

Still, I guess no cards are off the table yet
Im just glad there have been no further incidents.

Have been very close to something like this and of this scale myself when I was 19, such news always hits me like a stone in the face.

Never fully got over it, always having a silent, ice-cold rage deep in myself. That is my way of remembrance. Not forgotten. Never forgiven.

I pray for the victims and
I pray that the death will remain at those 3

I pray that your police, FBI a.s.o may find the person or persons who did this awful thing and take them to justice and that they will get the punishment they deserve.
