Some sort of explosion near the Boston Marathon Finish Line reported on twitter

Just stop. Seriously, just stop.

Let a tragedy be a tragedy. When the facts come in, this completely delusional and stupid speculation will have its day.

The people in govt aren't sitting around mourning a tragedy. They are holding briefings and crafting messages that will maximize their PR. They are picking scapegoats and trying to find suspects.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't mourn - but OTOH, how many people did you know that were killed/injured today? Do you sit in abject stasis everyday because their are atrocities being committed around the globe? There's a war on, you know. You should be sitting and recognizing the tragedy of that fact every day. Don't try to understand, don't try to craft a response, don't try to protect yourself from those who are using these tragedies to exploit you.

Recognize the depravity of the acts (whoever did them), extend sorrow to the victims, and then DO SOMETHING about it.

I'll hold my tongue on who and why for another time, when this becomes a past event and I have more information.

Regardless of how it happened, this is a tragedy, and I hope it does not get any worse. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those involved and their friends and families.

That's odd. There were two badly-serviced generators that blew up near one another, near the end of the marathon, timed for a range when a number of people would be finishing. There appear to be some unexploded devices as well. Bad luck for whoever made the devices, that those generators went off and ruined the entire thing.

I'm pretty sure that two explosions at the end of the Boston Marathon would always have made the news, especially with the number of dead and injured. The rest of it, though, is true; the leap to blame brown people OR THE GOVERNMENT seems to whip up a feeding frenzy even before all the injured get treated.

I'm sure of one thing and one thing only:

If this is anything other than an industrial accident of some sort, more freedom will be taken away.

And there is not much left to take away anymore.

Demonizing a group of people, be they government officials, muslims, tea partiers, right wing extremists, lizardpeople, or neocons, without ANY proof whatsoever, is horrific and irresponsible. Let a tragedy be a tragedy. Collect facts. Then do something. There's absolutely no reason to race to blame as Alex Jones and his idiot cohorts have done.

And even if that were the case, freedom would still be taken away. Every time a tragedy happens, people turn to government for protection.

They will blame the Tea Party.

This is very convenient for Ed Markey.

SPLC will be all over this.
 
CNN 'expert' reading from a prepared statement. "And I just want to tell people about home grown terrorist groups. Bomb making guides are easily found on the internet. Yemeni terrorists.... (missed the last part) They are trying to get people to (take up arms) (parphrased take up arms.. that is essentially what she stated though the wording was different)
