I wonder if the bombings in Iraq today are related ?

This has all been just awful to see. It brings back too many bad memories from 9/11.
And I couldn't help but think this early on...Where was the DHS during all of this? Shouldn't they have had a noticeable presence?

This comes from a trusted source on today’s Boston bombings:

From a cop friend in Boston–
A former partner says there was a reporter at the hospital in Boston. She overheard police saying they have video of the suspect dropping bombs into the garbage cans.

Cops will never admit that have a suspect in custody until they are ready. If they call him a suspect you must read him his Miranda rights.

An eight year-old child was killed in one of the blasts.

UPDATE: Am waiting confirmation of this report.

UPDATE: Confirmed. Police have video of suspect planting bombs.

Of course. Terrorist is now only reserved for white people.
Not white=not terrorist

Where the fuck have you been? You tell me.

Tea party? Domestic terrorists.

Nidal Hasan? Workplace violence.

Yes because a police APB can look like this and get any kind of response:

Wanted:

Individual of undescribed height, race and sex unimportant, of some build but cannot specify to avoid making individual feel bad about their build. Person was wearing jeans and T shirt.

Hair color: N/A
Eye Color: N/A
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Race: N/A
Sex: N/A


Yeah. I see that netting someone

Details of the case are interesting in this incident and who did this and what they look like, their history and why are all germane.

You truly are one classless individual. You start off saying to temper posts, go whole hog inflammatory, and now are now race baiting.

All in fun, just trolling?

Stay on topic man. Race is not an issue. They are waging war on our soil.

Anyone seen the pic of the guy on the roof top during one of the explosions?

Here is the picture:


(top left of picture, middle building)


I wouldn't really think it's all that significant though.

Don't know that that vantage point provides clear visual of the blast area.. poor place to watch from if so.

and people wonder why we want our guns.. because there's crazies out there who want us fucking dead.

It is starting to go viral:

As chilling photos of the deadly blasts at Monday's Boston Marathon began to circulate, one image stood out for some Twitter users, sparking debate over what appeared to be a man walking on a rooftop of a building overlooking the finish line.

The photo, taken by spectator Dan Lampariello, showed the second bomb explode several hundred yards from the first as runners approached.

Among the first Twitter users to spot the mysterious figure in Lampariello's photo was the operator of a parody account for R&B singer Frank Ocean:

The image was retweeted more than 2,000 times.

The U.K.'s Daily Mail pondered the figure on Twitter, too:

It wasn't long before the phrase "Boston Marathon roof," propelled by wild speculation, was trending on Twitter.

"Who's the guy on the roof?" one Twitter user asked. "He's not reacting to the detonation."

"The picture of the guy on the roof overlooking the second explosion is the spookiest thing I have ever seen," another wrote.

User @anon15576, an apparent member of the Anonymous hacktivist collective, tweeted: "#bostonmarathon bombing. #man on the roof. Anyone at all know #anything #fellow #anons plz tell me more about the man on the roof. #thanks."

It's worth noting that Boston police had been cracking down on rooftop parties along the marathon route.

In 2011, a 22-year-old college student fell through a skylight while watching the Boston Marathon from the top of a Brookline apartment.
