pjfootballer Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I have a cousin who lives in Boston. Going have my neice check on her as I don't have her number. EDIT: My neice said my cousin is OK and wasn't there, but my cousin's friend was running in the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulane Skins Fan Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'm just speculating, but it sounds like they have found devices elsewhere in Boston now too. Assuming that's true, this is some sort of international terrorism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulane Skins Fan Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Right next to the capitol...don't see anything going on. https://twitter.com/nbcnightlynews Sounds like they are taking standard precautions around White House, etc. Also: NBC Nightly News @nbcnightlynews 6m BREAKING: Small homemade bomb is preliminary cause of explosion at Boston Marathon, law enforcement officials tell NBC News Doesn't really tell us who it could be. I guess it really doesn't matter who it is, but I'm still hoping for swift justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloppyOneXXVI Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 My gut says domestic. Could be domestic.... could be domestic with international ideology/support, could be international, could be someone who hates Obama, could be someone who hates gay marriage, could be someone who hates guns, could be a teen who feels isolated and wants to create panic, who knows... way too early to speculate.

CRobi21 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 There have to be security cameras all along that street and those buildings. They need to review those and ID anyone who looked to tamper with the trash can, or even threw anything away. Find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss_Hogg Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Kim Il-Sung's birthday is today.

Just a thought. yeah I was on CNN quite bit today to see if there were going to be any activities in NK due to the very reason you stated... I am still in shock of this... I swear the society in general is getting more and more messed up every year... or maybe the society was screwed up in the head, we are just better informed now...

Mad Mike Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'm with Predicto in the opinion that it's too early to judge who is behind this but given what we know, it sure looks like something an AQ type group would do. I cant imagine what would make anyone think it is more likely domestic terrorism. Usually in domestic cases the target is a government building linked to the terrorists cause. There is of course no "good" answer, but for my part I would hate to think that an american would do this to other americans. Somehow that just would make this an even bigger tragedy than it already is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
