Oh now I notice the avatar! God I'm an idiot.

Yes mah dear one I always like the 2nd, 3rd or in his case maybe 6th banana types.

One of the gresat things about being sick and staying home from school.

Adieu, Lumpy.

(Sorry if I seem disrespectful to the events in Boston. I am not heartless. Really).

I predict it's going to be a "lone wolf." Probably some college kid (God knows plenty of them up there); NY Post will designate him "The Boston Mangler."

Something doesn't sit right with me about the Injured kid they consider the suspect. Why would he hang around and put himself in harms way after putting bombs in trash can?

April 15 was the 65th anniversary of the birth of the country Israel. That seems like a possible motive. My guess is that they have the right guy in custody. The people in the area said he was acting suspiciously and then he took off running right after the blast. They tackled him before he could get away. I'm sure he wasn't the only one who took off running. However he was the only one that the people tackled and held until the police got there. Is it possible that they tackled him simply because he looked foreign? Sure it is possible but I would say it is more likely that there was something suspicious about his behavior.

My guess is that they have the right guy but you never know. Richard Jewell looked like a good suspect in the Atlanta bombing and he turned out to be totally innocent.

to see mayhem ensue that he caused?

You can see the blast and mayhem from a couple bocks away then walk closer after the blast. Why stand close enough to get blasted yourself?

well, he may not be the guy. they might have grabbed him because of how he looks.
and maybe he's really stupid? many criminals aren't exactly bright.

I'm not trying to be glib here but have any of these poisoned pieces of mail ever worked? I know there have been successful mail bombs but these "poisoned letters" seem like a sure way to get arrested without any meaningful results.

The Associated Press ‏@AP 4m BREAKING: Law enforcement official: Arrest imminent in Boston Marathon bombing, suspect to be brought to court.

This means they have the suspected bomber. They would not risk him killing himself.

Some much for being imminent, still no arrests have been made.

heard about it, but have been swamped at work much of the day-til now. playing catch up.

i believe some people were sickened from some poisoned letters in the past, which is why they do the extra screening now for govt addressed mail-or maybe all mail?

edit~ found this:

The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two Democratic U.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others.

I stand corrected. Thank you. I thought a few people became ill but there were no fatalities.

hey, i wasn't sure either...glad i looked.
