At least one explosion struck near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, police and witnesses said.

The explosion occurred as thousands of runners finished the 117^th running of the Boston Marathon, with crowds watching and cheering at the finish. …

Fox Boston reporting MORE bombs found.

Media reports now saying this was not a gas explosion.

Has Mumbles Merino spoken..IIRC, when the guy tried to blow up Times Square, Nanny Bloomberg blamed it on someone who was upset that Obamacare wasn’t being passed..

[BIGLOOK]

The first smart move so far.

Gas leak or white supremacists

[Signalman]

Anyone want to bet against me that when Chris Matthews comes on the air later today, he’ll blame it on the Tea Party?

[ken5050]

I know its not related, but the next time that little pissant in NORK threatens to blow us up, I hope we drop a bomb on his head..

My birthday as well!

if it comes that it is a terrorist attack....the next bomb, should over that place, what is called? Mecca?

[smokingfrog]

Sounds like the police may have intentionally detonated something suspicious?

[Spirochete]

Yes, I’m expecting that. As well as the subsequent embarrassment and hushup when they suddenly discover a Muslim or group thereof as the actual perpetrator.

It'll get quiet real quick and disappear from headlines when it's found out that the ROP perpetrators came in across the southern border.

“Patriot’s Day”, the Boston Marathon, and TWO explosions (which I’ve read the CIA has been doing with drone attacks) — sounds more like Jihadists than anti-government, environmental groups or even Occupy Wall Street. Pure speculation, of course.

[BenLurkin]

15 seconds apart is pretty close to simultaneous, I’d say.

Here’s a wild assed guess: cell phone detonated. The shooter needed a little time to send the second number.

Why is Shep always on when this kind of stuff happens? Mmmmm. really!!!

And gold tanking...
