The amount of paranoia, delusion and fear being promoted in this thread is frightening.

Police there are shutting down cell phones so they don't trigger bombs. I guess they found some. Also probably keeps the texting and tweeting down.

Sounds like DHS and their mobile "Backscatter-Z" vehicles will be implemented in all cities across America to X-Ray anything & everything.

Ironically, American Science and Engineering, Inc. is located right their in Billerica, MA

The amount of speculation?

Brainwashed people immediately discount the only possible suspects who could benefit from this incident. You are such an obvious troll, didn't they train you not to give so many tip-offs so soon? You're supposed to ingratiate yourself for a while to try and blend in, first.

Shut up. Just shut the hell up. You base your opinion on nothing, and are just as bad as the idiots that will rush to blame this on people like us.

Goddamit, people like you are fucking infuriating. This is a tragedy. Let it be a fucking tragedy for a fucking minute, and not a conspiracy. Your baseless comments are pathetic.

How do they spin explosions to help pass gun control? I feel bad for the victims, but that was the first thing that popped into my mind.

My brother is working the scene, apparently around 20 are dead so far. Sad day.

I think he meant injured:

Once bitten twice shy.

This happens way too often to write off and say "oh just another random wacko" or "the terrists did it cause they hate our freedoms."

In 1969 they changed when Patriot's Day is to be celebrated. I can remember it being the 19th,
which is the day the battles of Lexington and Concord happened way back in 1775. having it on
the 3rd Monday of the month is easier on people, it sets up 3 day weekends. The 15th is tax day.
It might be coincidence of having the Marathon on tax day and also Patriot's Day timed this way
that motivated the group that appears to be responsible for this. our local 4 p.m news has started.

Stupid people think stupid thoughts, and express stupid thoughts.

It's all a shame.

Even more shocking was that the organisation, money, weapons and motivation for this plot did not come from real Islamic terrorists. It came from the FBI, and an informant paid to pose as a terrorist mastermind paying big bucks for help in carrying out an attack. For McWilliams, her own government had actually cajoled and paid her beloved nephew into being a terrorist, created a fake plot and then jailed him for it. "I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone," she told the Guardian.

The FBI does this kind of stuff often enough, at the very least they're statistically due to have one go terribly wrong eventually.

I already have my tinfoil hat on.

Boston explosions to distract from a big bank about to fail?

Of course you do. Face palm.

I hope so, however, considering his past I believe he did not mispeak (text). I HOPE he is wrong.

ANYONE who has the ability, NOW is the time to start gathering all the news reports both in print and video! This is the time people!

@LukeRussert: I was at Fenway Park w my dad and @mikebarnicle during Waco which was on Patriots Day in 1993. Speculating on possible link

12 dead, dozens more injured after two explosions rock Boston marathon finish line

that says the first explosion was in the lobby of the Fairmont

BOSTON — Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry off the injured while the stragglers in the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts.

A federal law-enforcement source told The Post there are at least 12 dead and twice as many injured. Fox News reported that Massachusetts General Hospital was treating 10 people with amputated limbs and all operating rooms were on hold.

Law-enforcement sources said at least the first explosion occurred in the lobby of the Fairmont Hotel.

"There were two bombs that exploded near the finish line in today's Boston Marathon," The Boston Marathon's official Facebook page read. "We are working with law enforcement to understand what exactly has happened."

According to reports, authorities in Boston found a third explosive device that had not gone off and police were going to perform a controlled explosion. The airspace above the city was ordered cleared as well.

Do you notice the runners near the finish line who couldn't see it just kept on running to cross? But the ones behind kind of veered. Love that they were pushing to the prize...
