I don’t give a shit who did this right now, I just know we are in for an endless fcking stream of this crap because we don’t control our borders or close expired visa cases, we let “students” into the country (and you can’t swing a cat in Boston without hitting one) and never check on them...seriously, are we going to be surprised when this is handled by the BPD and no one hears about the REASON it is happening. When will we take control of our borders!

Incidentally, I heard New England Cable News practically confirm your speculation. Also, the Boston Police may be further dismantling two more explosive devices.

JFK Library official: Fire not related to marathon explosions

The director of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum says that a 3 p.m. fire inside the building’s mechanical room was not caused by a device and is apparently not related to the explosions at the Boston Marathon finish line.

Tom Putnam, the director of the JFK Library, said that the incident was confined to a mechanical room near the archive section of the library.

Developing story...

So, are these guys going to pull an Eric Rudolph and get the 1st responders in before he sets off another, bigger explosion?

We hear of all tapes of weird police and fires calls from here our (One news stations airs the odd ones) but one area I have never heard an explosive is after the first one is found and more devastating explosives are timed so they get media coverage (and deaths like the Atlanta Olympics).

1) Sooner or later (a concerned politician-d) is going to demand that they do come up with some sort of early warning system be implemented (I don’t mean the one they have now (9/11) but one that they end setting up after these atrocities. I can’t imagine how they came up with the super sensitive system that overwhelms the number of officers available. Then the explosions will only get worse, far worse. It’s almost like it’s planned.

3) While I’ll leave it up to your own imagination what is causing these instances not to mention the exponential buildups in their numbers of explosions, number of obviously perfectly timed explosives (during a commute or someone with a lack of conscience I will say this sounds like a perfect way to implement draconian gestures like Marshall law and have the people except it.)

4) There will be people who won’t use the police and look at these thugs and their patterns by themselves.

Not saying it was a false flag, but is it outside the realm of possibility? Remember that this administration got two federal agents and hundreds of Mexican citizens murdered with the “Fast & Furious” gun running scheme they were using to try to build a case against the 2A. Jones is a kook, IMO, but you know the old saw about broken clocks. We have to face all the possibilities.

WCVB is reporting that 'multiple' devices have been found at various locations near the marthon route.

Boston police is asking anyone who has video of finish line before and during the explosion, please contact them.

I do agree that we need to secure the borders better. The stooges in congress don’t want to do much about it. I don’t doubt he have all sorts of threats coming into our country. Not just Muslims terrorists, but also deadly Mexican drug gangs and cartel members.
