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

It is sad that when something tragic like this happens, that the first thought for many of us is "What freedoms will we lose?"

I have been listening to the newscasts trying to determine because I thought "What are they going to do, take away the "right to make bombs?". But what I heard in just a few minutes listening is that a couple of times was mentioned "anyone can learn how to do these crude bombs on the internet." and similar statements. Often enough and by different people that I expect internet freedom of information is going to be the target of legislation.
 
My stomach is in complete knots, just like Sept 11th. Mainly for the victims and their families, but also because I can see the storm clouds coming. Gov lockdown just hit the next gear.

I was just called a heartless bastard by a family member for not showing sufficient "compassion" for the victims, and only worrying about how much more of a prison my country will become.
 
So often when they do that the guy turns out to be leftist, but then they stop talking politics and don't correct their original musings...

And then the man or woman ends up being a professor at a prestigious university.
 
Adolph Hitler was born on the 20th of this very month

the Titanic hit the iceberg on April 14 & sinks on the 15...

Abe Lincoln dies on 04/15/1865 at about 7 in the morning.
 
What? A Police Commisioner and the media propagating rumors? Never.

New information keeps coming in- sometimes changing what was reported earlier. Not uncommon in a chaotic situation like this. The commisioner may not have gotten the report from JFK yet.

I'm with you, not that it helps. I really wish I could think like the rest of the sheeple. Or at least be devious enough to pretend that I did.
 
Keep a look out for what laws they might try to pass through while we are distracted by this.

I do see a much bigger defense budget looming, not that I like the idea
and if Homeland Security now utilizes the three incidents to look good...

If you support and defend the Constitution you're an "extremist". The Democrats are at war with extreme law-abiders. #gop #rnc #tcot #pjnet
 
This is awful, people from ALL OVER the globe participate in the Boston Marathon. I really really don't want any empirical evidence to come out that will fill me with suspicion, paranoia and hate when those are clearly NOT the reactionary emotions one should have seeing this. I also don't want to be the guy trying to convince people it is possibly something other than they believe.

I find solace in my delusions that this is the motive of a super criminal villain and that a Batman type vigilante will appear to solve this.

How do they look good when this all happened despite the huge cost and intrusion of their existence?
