My wife's cousin is a Marshfield Firefighter/EMT who was down there at the Red Sox game so he's probably on the scene helping out if he can.
My wife finally was able to get through to her parents who are in a Lowe's getting something at the Patriot's Day sale.

I just want to know who did this. I'm thinking it's going to be some small localized group with a bone to pick. Don't really think this is international. Has Boston done anything political hot button wise lately? Flats?

I'm hearing they found 1 or possibly more bombs UNdetonated.
If that's the case they are going to have to check a whole lot of trash cans or whatever these bombs are in.

I'm hearing all these politicians on TV talking about the Rep/Dem working together in lieu of the tragedy.
Your telling me we need a bomb to go off for government to work?
Ridiculous.

Stay away from those cans! One of my all time favorite movies. Not that I watch a lot of movies, but damn that shit is funny. Great story line with the black family and when everybody goes cross-eyed.

I am guessing its just a lone nutjob. Or a couple of nutjobs. Doesn't seem like an Al Quaeda thing.

I've already ripped my gay friend a new asshole for saying that...he's backpedaling currently. Why we feel the need to categorize everything is beyond me. It was an idiot that needs castrated/devaginized, that much I know.

The explosion happened near a group of the families right?

I have no clue. I was talking about the prez having the families as a backdrop during a gun control speech and doing his weekly.

I am guessing its just a lone nutjob. Or a couple of nutjobs. Doesn't seem like an Al Quaeda thing. That's my guess, but it is based on probabilities more than info. Not all serial killers are 25-35 year old white males with above average IQ's. But the vast majority fall into that group, so if you're looking for one that's a good place to start. In the case of this bombing I would bet on it being a white, male, US citizen, with right-wing political and/or Christian fundamentalist religious beliefs. But obviously it could be a group of 50 year old Saudis with Islamic fundamentalist religious beliefs. Or a young leftist/anarchist rich white boy idiot who listened to too much Rage Against the Machine or whatever. There's no lack of wackos in the world. In our corner of the globe we just happen to have a higher concentration of the first group than the others, so that's where I would put my chips if I had any.

If that's the case it might be very beneficial for investigators and, later, prosecutors. Who knows what they can learn from finding an intact device.
