This acts of terrorism, whoever may be the behind them, is disgusting and sickening. Prayers are with those lost in Boston.
But I can't help but see the hypocrisy in our media, when a US drone kills everyone at a wedding, it barely makes the news, no mourning, no 24/7 coverage, no interviews or biographical analysis - nothing.
The Boston Marathon and U.S. Drone Attacks: a Tale of Two Terrorisms:
http://earthfirstnews.wordpress.…- are you sure you want to compare a wedding in a warzone to a marathon?coldarchon
- Money and special interests influence the amount of media coverage etc. That's an entirely different thread/conversation though.instrmntl
- ...though.instrmntl
- Dude, I'm SURE there is mourning, and fucking 24 hr coverage of that wedding drone thing in their country. Fuck off.monospaced
- wordinstrmntl
- Not weddings in warzones, just poor intelligence and disregard for life.MakeBelieve
- There's a lot of coverage for Israel, for British and Europeans ,so our media is being fair?MakeBelieve
- So nobody should hold a wedding in their village - the whole of Afghanistan is not a warzone stupid.MakeBelieve
- you calling me stupid, asshole?monospaced
- @OP drones don't target weddings STUPID the Boston marathon WAS targeted... ffsZOOP
- wha, did the bomber ignore international law illegally occupy boston for 12 years? cause > 20,000 ailed deaths?kingsteven
- so yes, an entirely different thread/conversation. but if you're no oppressed, your probably an opressor.kingsteven

All this talk of cowardly remote explosions killing civilians makes me think about drone warfare. The US actually awards medals to drone operators.

FBI press conference starting soon.

As expected, they've revealed no new info.

They had a press conference to say, "Prayers go out to the families, this is an ongoing investigation, and that they are trying to finish processing the scene so they can reopen the road."

This will probably be solved within few days. Noone has ever gotten away with terrorism on our soil. Never takes more than a few days to solve.
The difference with the Unabomber is he really was more of a serial killer, not a terrorist bombing large events trying to kill/injure many at once, so for a long time they didn't exactly have tons of people on the case. And sometimes years separated his bombings.
- remember that guy and his kid sniping people in L.A? dafuk was that?74LEO

Over the past 12 years I have been thinking deeply about all the violent events happening right here in Amerka. Starting with 9.11 no one was impeached, no one fired but Rumsfeld retired.
The main conversation i don't hear is the one where we hold the government responsible for not keeping us safe. Was George Bush impeached...NO! Bill Clinton for a BJ?...YES. Mass shooting at our schools, organized violence and still our government is not held accountable.
We allow our government to police the world, spend trillions of dollars on wars for the rich and meanwhile we are left with record debt, unemployment and crime.
I'm not going to put on my tinfoil hat! I took that off 15 years ago. Think all you want about the who or what did this or you can concentrate on getting our government under control.
I have now come to the conclusion that our government is run by Retards. Defense funds are not spent on keeping Amerkins safe but protecting vested foreign interests.
- Bush was a dick, but impeaching him would have solved nothing.mg33
- I never understood why a president would get impeached over a BJ.
omg - Justice isn't always about solving a problem.jtb26
- agree...a coup would do that.74LEO
- The funny thing is how they will use this to try to activate the police state.74LEO
- its already a coupe, we're just on the other end of it. the receiving end.yurimon
- The irony is that the people in gov are anti gov in their trying to turn the tables on the people from a point of authority. we are the authority they are the servants.yurimon
- the authority, they are the servants.yurimon
- Its not that he got a BJ, its that he lied about it. He's a man, he can get a BJ and be a good president.CygnusZero4
- But when you like is when people think you arent fit to run a nation. That was his only mistake. Should have owned up immediately.CygnusZero4
- up immediately.CygnusZero4
- Well that, and he put himself in a good position to be blackmailed. Just wasn't smart.mathinc
- Do you think there's a way to stop terror or be completely safe? This has existed for 1000s of years and it will.Beeswax
- our gov isn't ran by retards,
we are the retards.moldero - "Who's the more foolish - the fool, or the fool who follows"moldero
- help us obi wan, your our only hopemoldero

You cant possibly blame the government. They cannot have people patrolling every single inch of every city every second of the day. Its not realistic. If someone is determined to kill people, they will do so regardless of security measures, gun laws, whatever... they cant be completely stopped.
This is whats hilarious to me when people talk about ways to fix this. Um.... YOU CAN'T FIX CRAZY PEOPLE! Period. No laws will stop them, no metal detectors, no bomb sniffing dogs, nothing. When someone has an agenda and becomes determined or loses their mind like the Newtown kid, do you really think its possible to stop all of them from doing what they are so hell bent on doing? Hell no. All you can do is try to minimize it, try to stop it before it happens which sometimes works, sometimes it doesnt.

Speculation here, but the reports of two additional bombs found unexploded in addition to the two that exploded would tend to point toward more than one suspect. Time will tell.

^^^^Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick says no unexploded bombs were found at the Boston Marathon. He says the only explosives were the ones that went off Monday.
- Hard to determine facts with so much dust still in the air. The 2000 election comes to mind.ZOOP
- CygnusZero40
No unexploded bombs. Typical rumors, people making shit up so it can seem worse than it really is. I remember the same shit going on with 9/11. I heard a rumor that there were 15 hijacked plans to bomb every major city. Orly??
http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/15/us…
"Officials Tuesday announced a twist in the probe: Suspicious packages that were detonated out of precaution were not explosive devices after all.
After the blasts Monday, some officials reported that explosive devices that failed to go off were found.
But investigators said Tuesday the only bombs were the two that exploded at the marathon.
They were small, and initial tests showed no C-4 or other high-grade explosive material, suggesting the packages used in the attack were crude devices, a federal law enforcement official in the intelligence community said."

Some of you need to explain yourselves.
