This is too close to home. Reporting casualties and they are now reporting that these may have been bombs. It was very crowded in the area of the explosions which happened at the finish line. Runners were still coming in at time of explosion.
Yes, this is sad. I wonder who is responsible for this. Could be any number of people. I have a strange feeling – hopefully unfounded that there may be a claimed “anti gay” motivation behind this. Hopefully I am wrong.
The NYPost is reporting 12 dead and 50 injured and additionally that a Saudi national is being detained as the suspected bomber. It appears to be an act of Islamic terrorism at first reports but we will certainly know more in the days to come. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the dead and that the wounded have a speedy recovery.
I knew stuff like this would be happening. I fear this is just the beginning.They shut off cell phone service in Boston. 2 dead, 86 injured, most of them critical.Next week or next month, London is having a marathon. The Head of the Charles in the Fall draws crowds of over 300,000. Most of them congregate in the middle and at the finish line. Probably will be racing in it, will definitely be up there. Vigilance.Any word on how they did this? Did they leave a backpack or something or was it cell phone?
They are also saying it is right-wing home grown terrorism.
WHO is saying that? The media? The same media which tried to link two previous killers to the Tea Party?

CNN from what I gather and Biden made some comment to the fact.
Not while the dems refer to the atrocity as an event or tragedy instead of a terror attack. Weasal words for weasels.

There is the rub. I am very curious to see if the Saudi guy is the one responsible and if so, if the Admin will call it terrorism. My gut tells me they will not. They still don't call the Ft Hood shootings terrorism, instead calling it Workplace Violence. I have no confidence that the US or West at large will ever actually do anything effective about terrorism. The weasel Words will run strong after this one. I bet they even use this incident as foster to tighten gun control even though no guns were used.
