explosions at boston marathon

[GBBob]

April 20th is Hitler's Birthday....Events between 4/15 and 4/20:

Boston Marathon: 4/15
VA Tech Massacre: 4/16
OK City Explosion: 4/19
Waco Standoff Fire: 4/19
Columbine 4/20

Pretty amazing pattern though, even if it is co-incidence. Throw tax day in there for good measure.

i think the other occurrences around this date are just coincidence. i'd imagine you can find tragedy in any week of the year.
my thoughts were that either it's anti-government americans who did this, to coincide with patriot's day.
or it just happened to be patriot's day, and they focused on a big crowd being around for the marathon, which just happens to be held on the holiday commemorating lexington and concord.

just read that there were just the two bombs, that reports of unexploded devices isn't true. the bombs contained bb's and ball bearings, to cause as much injury as possible. at least 2 dozen people suffered amputations from the shrapnel. others may lose limbs due to the severity of their injuries. it's horrible.
a 20 year old saudi man is being questioned, a rental van is being sought, and an apartment was searched, with bags of evidence being removed.
i hope they find the bomber(s) quickly. i think if it were a terrorist group, they'd have claimed responsibility by now, but no one has.

This is last year's results. The time of the explosions may only be significant in that it's right around when most people finish the race.

Live terror drills conducted the same day, same scenario - Either on location or very close.

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.
