Starter Pistols are too dangerous for the public safety. Must use large slap sticks. /s
Fox just were showing live video and they had a guy up on a stretcher with all you could see was his lower leg bone exposed, nothing else. One of the challenges of live video feed.
Film on for the first explosion. Just watched it.
We need to pass running shoe control legislation immediately!
Yeah sadly I saw that horrible image of guy conscious with no feet
Shep Smith just says, “We don’t know what did this. Could have been a gas leak inside that hotel that exploded.....”
“possible device at 77(something) Boylston St” .. just on BPD scanner
While I suppose that's a remote possibility, I'd put it well down the list behind:
1. Al-Qaeda - (the usual suspects)
2. Norks - they've been feeling froggy lately, and today is Kim Il Sung's b-day.
3. IRA(?!?!?) - Double-bomb is their old MO, lots of Boston area ties, and the recent death of Thatcher may have made them long for the old days.
4. Anybody's guess is as good as any of the above at this point. False flags should never be discounted until they can be ruled out.
If it is, it will be whitewashed.
I’m betting the media starts with “right wing Christian conservatives” for now.
Had the winners already come in? What was the status of the race?
Prayers for the wounded.
I can’t help but think that every time something like this happens, it’s a precursor to us losing more Constitutional rights.
“Is it the Muslims again?”
Can’t be...
Only Tea Partiers, Amish, and Conservatives can be terrorists. Just ask anybody at CNN/ABC/CBS/MSNBC/NBC/E!/Pacifia/NPR/WashPost/NYTimes, and anyone in Hollywood.
Don’t you pay attention to TV?
Shep, to his credit, is saying to soon to speculate. (Then he speculates a kitchen in a hotel had a gas leak)...
This is horrible.
Yeah, Shep saw it too and stopped talking for a second :(
Maybe Libyan Muslims getting even for that frigging ‘video’ that prompted the Benghazi riots and State Department attacks. /sarc
Those poor people! An attack on unsuspecting civilians can never be justified. I don’t care what “cause” it’s for.
.... That would be SOP for an incident like this. The origin of the blast is unknown so they must plan and proceed for a worst case scenario.
...if he’s a good runner he’s probably safe....if he’s slow......well, hope all works out for you..and him
