Wondering the same, something tells me this will get somehow mentioned with the gun debate if the components of the bomb were in any relation to ammunition, reloading, etc.
I would suspect domestic crazies. Foreign terrorist would have used a much bigger bomb/IED. But who knows this early on.
I'm split between sequester and republicans with a hint of tea party. That's how they'll report it anyway.
E-mail your reps right now to keep a cool head through this. This will probably end up being about search and seizure. "We really wish we could have nabbed them, but we just didn't have enough evidence..." "I even called the police about Johnny, but they never could do anything about him acting so strange all the time." They need someone saying "I think he's a bit off" to become probable cause for them to enter your home and confiscate your stuff. I think they'll try to use this as a stepping stone. I might be completely wrong. But if I were them, that's exactly what I'd do. They'll also try to divide us. So we'll tell on one another, thus giving them the opportunity to confiscate stuff.
If the bombing was from a foreign entity. Expect more bombings. I highly doubt this administration will kick someones teeth in for this.
The suspect — a Saudi national who suffered shrapnel wounds in today's blast — is currently being guarded in a Boston hospital.
Jackass on CNN said it could be RIGHT WING EXTREMISTS ! Before morning the NRA will be responsible for this.
Ya CNN couldn't find Lincoln Memorial even if they were in front of the Washington Memorial, looking across a reflecting pool.....

Boston police were kind of just walking in circles. At least the 2 Army or National Guard men knew to make a hole to get help in and out. I read a RI Trooper had just finished the race and ran to the wounded to tie tourniquets and help. Damn good of some people to run toward the blast. Looked like most either stood around or ran like hell.
The third "explosion" at the JFK Library has already been declared a separate event, as a result of a fire. Hard to take any report seriously when the main source is the NY Post...

There must have been some sort of assault weapon used. Hopefully they find it so they can pin the blame on a tool again.
Noticed it as well... Leave it up to those men in uniform to defeat that crowd barrier with brute strength!
Just saw an interview where a runner said they were disappointed that they were not allowed to finish the marathon.
News reports are all across the board. Looks like two dead but injured ranges from 23 to over 100. I always think it is sad when the news camera guys are running toward tragedy to get gruesome video instead of actually help the injured.
Prayers go out to all tonight. I have friends in the MA area and some were running today.

I am watching the news right now......They were about possibly foreign or domestic terrorism. Seems the lieberal left news jockeys are constantly bringing up, domestic terrorism.....they make me want to barf.....
Saw some of the early images and photos as the story was breaking - there will be runners lucky to come out of this with two legs intact...
