I've got a friend who is running it this year. Scary stuff.

I talked to my wife as well, she works for Liberty Mutual and was heading out there (corporate HQ) later in the week for meetings. She said the hotel she stays at is right at the intersection of the finish line.

I wouldnt be so much worried about the people that participated. The explosions happened near the buildings. Where people stand and watch.

Yeah, the spectators were the ones who took the brunt of the damage.

Fortunately (or unfortunately), it's Patriot's Day today, so very few people were at work down there.

Aren't multiple bombs an Al-qaeda hallmark?  I hope that it's a random crazy person because I doubt our national psyche could cope with either domestic right wing extremists or an Al-qaeda style attack.

So far the Tea Party hasn't really been involved in any violence so assuming their involvement seems desperate. That being said this being tax day, the target being Boston, and it being Patriot's Day could indeed suggest domestic terrorism. It sounds like the this could have been a lot worse, but multiple bombs didn't go off and the big one detonated at a period where there weren't many people around (relatively, compared to the busier moments of the marathon).

Conflicting reports from the JFK library too. Eh

Anyways, this sucks.  Was born in Cambridge and parents still have friends in the area, though it's super unlikely they were among those hurt.  If they've already got the right suspect that's good, though whoever it is we can look forward to weeks of posturing over whether the ethnicity of the bomber proves anything.

Boston Police: No Arrests Have Been Made In Marathon Bombing


A spokesperson for the Boston Police Department said no suspects have been taken into custody yet after the bombing at the Boston Marathon.

"At this time, we haven't been notified of any arrests or anyone apprehended," the spokesperson said.

The New York Post reported that a "Saudi national who suffered shrapnel wounds in today's blast" has been identified as "a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing." The Boston PD spokesperson did not confirm that report.

"Honestly, I don't know where they're getting their information from, but it didn't come from us," said the spokesperson.

The Post report was attributed to "a law enforcement source." According to the Post, the "suspect" is "currently being guarded in a Boston hospital."

The NY Post story is sketchy as fuck and I haven't seen it anywhere else. 

A lot of things make me think this could be a domestic terrorist- date (tax day, anyone) and anniversary this week (branch davidians), similar MO to some of the bombings Eric Robert Rudolph carried out in Atlanta (the abortion clinic he bombed was around the corner from my best friend's house, and he used multiple bombs in that attack and possibly others)

Having said all of that, it's stupid and irresponsible for ANYONE to engage in baseless speculation.  I'd like to know more facts.

The person questioned in the hospital was a Saudi national, who was report­edly tackled and held by a ­bystander after he was seen running from near the scene of the explosion, said a law enforce­ment source who spoke with someone involved in the FBI’s investigation.

The Saudi man, believed to be a university student in ­Boston, is cooperating with the FBI and told agents that he was not involved in the explosions, and that he ran only because he was frightened. Investigators did not characterize the man as a suspect. No one had been ­arrested or charged by late Monday night.

By Greg Miller, Tuesday, April 16, 12:05 PM

U.S. law enforcement officials said Tuesday that a Saudi national injured in the Boston Marathon bombing is regarded as a witness, not a suspect.

The Saudi, who is recuperating at a Boston hospital, is in his 20s and is in the United States on a Saudi scholarship to study at a university in the Boston area.

The federal officials’ explanation echoed comments by a Saudi official at the country’s embassy in Washington. The embassy official said that a Saudi national has been questioned as a witness but is not regarded as a suspect. The Saudi official cited information provided to the embassy by U.S. law enforcement officials.

“We’re not aware of any Saudi suspect or Saudi person of interest,” said the Saudi official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the preliminary nature of the information.

He declined to identify the young man, but said he sustained serious burn injuries. The official said the victim is cooperating with U.S. investigators and granted permission for his Boston area apartment to be searched.

“He volunteered to have it searched,” the Saudi official said. “He is fully cooperating with authorities.”

He is one of two Saudi citizens who were injured in the attacks, officials said. The other is a female student who attended the race with her son and husband, and who sustained shrapnel injuries to her legs.

They are among thousands of Saudi nationals who attend college in the United States. The Saudi consulate in New York has dispatched a representative to Boston to meet with the hospitalized Saudi.

King Says Bombing Should Slow Immigration Reform
Rep. Steve King (R-IA) told National Review that Congress "should be cautious about rushing immigration reform, especially after Monday's bombing in Boston, where three people were killed."

Said King: "Some of the speculation that has come out is that yes, it was a foreign national and, speculating here, that it was potentially a person on a student visa. If that's the case, then we need to take a look at the big picture."

He added: "We need to take a look at the visa-waiver program and wonder what we're doing. If we can't background check people that are coming from Saudi Arabia, how do we think we are going to background check the 11 to 20 million people that are here from who knows where."

I think that's his point: Americans already don't.

Sure. But I think there's a difference between indifference due to lack of awareness/lack of connection to the event, and actively flaunting indifference. If it seems like I don't care about the deaths of Iraqis, for instance, it's because I either don't hear about these stories or because they simply don't resonate with me because I've never been to the area and don't know any Iraqis. I have no tangible connection to the event, and therefore it has little impact on my life. But having said that, I would know better than to go into a thread where people who are genuinely mournful of such an event and offer inane charges of hypocrisy and deride the event with "who gives a shit?" level rhetoric due to a comparison with something worse occurring elsewhere in recent history.

If it's a non-third world country, people would still care. I just can't work up a lot of care when there's a bombing in a country that gets bombed every week, just like I don't care every time there's a gun homicide in the US with a death toll of less than 10. I just don't have that much care; care is a finite amount. You gotta save it for the big stuff.

Parents Of Second Victim Initially Told She Had Survived Boston Attack

In an apparent hospital mix-up, the parents of the second Boston marathon attack victim, Krystle Campbell, were initially told she was live and that her friend Karen had been killed. Via WCVB Boston:

    When William and Patty Campbell were finally allowed in to see the patient, they realized it was not their daughter.

    “I said, ‘That’s not my daughter, that’s Karen! Where’s my daughter?’" Patty Campbell said.

Investigators believe they have identified a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, a source who has been briefed on the investigation told CNN's John King exclusively.

The breakthrough came from analysis of video from a department store near the site of the second explosion. Video from a Boston television station also contributed to the progress, said the source, who declined to be more specific but called it a significant development.

Earlier, a federal law enforcement source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation told CNN that a lid to a pressure cooker thought to have been used in the bombings had been found on a roof of a building near the scene.

While such clues may move the investigation forward, they did not reveal whether the attack was an act of domestic or foreign terrorism.

I have no faith left in the Mississippi Justice system. I feel my coming forward with my story and releasing it to news media all over the USA in 2001 has helped expose the illegal body parts and organ trade market world-wide.

I personally sent out more than a million emails in one year detailing what happened to me when I found the body parts at NMMC. In 2004, 4 arrests were made in New York City. In 2006, another illegal body parts scam was discovered in North Carolina. I am confident that although no local media has agreed to put in print what happened to me in Tupelo or the trigger-happy, intoxicated assistant DA, I know in my heart that my coming forward has brought national attention to this terrible and illegal black market.

This is Kevin Curtis and I approve this report.

Friends staying with us in Osaka had a friend in the marathon. We woke up to Japanese news coverage of the bomb that day, and we were all worried like crazy. Turns out the friend had finished the race long before the bombs, and was already back at their hotel.

I encouraged the runner to get to the airport way ahead of time for their return flight, because it is going to be crazy TSA time again for a while.

If I say this kind of shit makes me want to stay in Japan, have the terrorists already won?

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/04/18/report-saudi-national-ruled-out-as-suspect-in-boston-marathon-bombings-to-be-deported-on-national-security-grounds-next-week/

Quote
Sources tell TheBlaze that the Saudi national is set to be deported on “security and related grounds.” His visa also has been revoked. Below is some of the information that has been communicated to us:

1. One source at the FBI and another at the Saudi Embassy referred to the student as connected to an important Saudi family.
2. An “event” was created on this guy three days ago. An event is a file. The file contains his deportation record and the reason he is being deported. According to ICE the reason is under section 212 3B — “Security and related grounds” — “Terrorist activities”
3. His visa has been revoked.
4. The FBI said a file was started “just in case he was found to be connected to the crime,” however, the file shows he was scheduled to be deported. This was not a precaution, it was in “orders.”
5. One source said they believe a “voluntary” departure has been signed — that means the Saudi Student could be out of the country as early as today.
6. The file was immediately classified. We believe the deportation order will be classified as well — requiring a FOIA to get it.
7. The story was going to be “he wanted to go home,” however he was actually being deported.
8. Our source said the FBI believes the Saudi student is tied to 2 to 3 more people.
9. Our source said this “looks like they were trying to make this a ‘lone wolf’ crime so, the Saudi government would be spared embarrassment and the U.S. would avoid explaining how a terror cell was active when we had AQ on the run.”

Okay, to throw a curve in the whole "guess the ethnicity of the terrorist" game, here in Canada we recently had a situation where a group of youths, one being from the middle east, but one being a Korean-Canadian and one being a Greek-Canadian, converted to radical Islam and travelled to Algeria where they took part in that gas plant attack back in January.

So, even if the dude's "white", that doesn't preclude the possibility of it being an attack related to radical islamist terrorism.

Of course, it could still be right-wing whackos, or anarchists, or who-the-fuck-knows-right-now.

Okay, to throw a curve in the whole "guess the ethnicity of the terrorist" game, here in Canada we recently had a situation where a group of youths, one being from the middle east, but one being a Korean-Canadian and one being a Greek-Canadian, converted to radical Islam and travelled to Algeria where they took part in that gas plant attack back in January.

So, even if the dude's "white", that doesn't preclude the possibility of it being an attack related to radical islamist terrorism.

Fuck this world. What about Korea, motherckers!

Not to diminish the tragic death of the policeman in any way but the scale of this does not suggest that Boston is under siege. Everything about it says that we are seeing a small number of badly outnumbered and outgunned (and poorly-trained, if the comments about throwing the bomb are true) suspects, who may not have any connection to any other recent event. No, this is not season 8 of 24 or Call of Duty 5. It's an arrest.

It's difficult to do things like this at night. Things will be different during the sunlight and daybreak. I never mentioned it on here but I had a family member a few years ago involved in a similar massive manhunt like this. I'll just say they personally didn't murder anybody or anything so its not overly creepy but it does take awhile to resolves these things. And the police and FBI generally know a good deal more than they are initially willing to let out.

That being said, I'm going to bed.

I'm a bit disappointed that it looks like they have Islamic beliefs. The Russia / Chechnya link is at least something, as it will hopefully teach people that not all brown people are Muslim terrorists (oh who am I kidding), but for the religion generally and for people who follow it in America - it would be bad news, if true.

Correct me if I'm wrong but "radical" is usually written before Islam or Muslim in these articles, right?  That denotes a subset of crazies we can agree on that aren't representative...like hasidic jews or members of /r/atheism for that matter.   Whether people read it that way or if it's adequately repped as a subset in the article is another matter.

One of the videos that was on the older brother's Youtube page had the flag of the Caucasus Emirate in it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasus_Emirate

Quote
The Caucasus Emirate (Chechen: Имарат Кавказ Imarat Kavkaz; Russian: Кавказский Эмират Kavkazskiy Emirat) also known as the Caucasian Emirate is a self-proclaimed virtual state entity,[1][2] partially successor to the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria and was officially announced on October 31, 2007 by former President of Ichkeria Dokka Umarov, who became the first Emir. Its military branch is the Caucasian Front organization. Both the Russian Federation and the United States have designated the Caucasus Emirate as a terrorist organisation.[3][4] The United States government has offered US$5 million for information leading to the capture of the group's leader Dokka Umarov.[4] On July 29, 2011 the United Nations Security Council Al-Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions Committee added the Caucasus Emirate to the list of entities associated with Al-Qaeda.[5]

Yea but we're talking about the younger brother. He's a US citizen apparently, and I haven't seen anything that suggests he went overseas recently like he brother.

So he has constitutional rights. He'll lawyer up but won't win.

EDIT: yup, US citizen as of 2011

So the younger one was a lone wolf and the older one was working for an extremist group? You should be his lawyer!

Like, not at all shocked that the resident wingnut advocates a suspension of Constitutional adjudication. I suppose I would've been shocked had it been otherwise. You can always rely on the right-wing to dispense with habeus corpus when it suits. The Constitution is merely the tissue remnants caught between their fetid buttcheeks.

So, Bore, my brother is on Facebook posting outrage upon hearing on CNN that police are kicking in doors and searching and securing houses even if no one is home.

What say you to the civil liberties implications here, Bore?  Justified given the unprecedented situation, or no?

is this considered an unprecedented situation?  in what respect?  genuinely curious.

the scale of the fugitive search/manhunt?  essentially a complete shutdown of a major American city?

Sounds like the official response is maybe unprecedented, but the immediacy of the threat?  I can't imagine that finding the bombers in this case could be a more urgent or important task than finding the Oklahoma City bomber.  For that matter, we had the anthrax scare and the Beltway sniper running around in the post-9/11 days and none of the crappy local sports teams cancelled their games.

So right now I'm inclined to think that as traumatic as the event was, there was an overreaction by the authorities.

Didn't the response happen after they shot someone and attracted attention somehow?   

At first it sounded like they were trying to rampage, but I haven't read what the final official story is yet.

Quote from: http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/graham-claims-boston-bombers-on-jihad-mission
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) claimed Saturday on Fox News that the captured Boston bombing suspect was motivated by radical Islam and on a "jihad mission." He urged the Obama administration to declare him an enemy combatant.

"They were on a jihad mission and the reason you want to capture a terrorist is to find out about what other terrorist are up to," Graham said, referring to suspects Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was arrested Friday night, and his brother Tamarlan, who died Thursday in a shootout with police.

"Ask the people in Boston. Radical jihadists are trying to attack us here at home. Every day we face threats from radical Islamists and they are coming through our back yard and trying to radicalize American citizens," the senator said. "The reason we wanted to capture him alive is find out about the attack and find out who he trained with and what connections to ... terrorism."

But let's not get too worked up over people like James Eagan Holmes, Jared Lee Loughner, and Adam Peter Lanza and do something RASH [like pass a sensible, universal background check bill], right, guys?

Do you think he was pressured into it by his brother? If his brother recieved training and was a zealot then maybe he had a way to convince the kid to do it.

They're saying the older brother wasn't killed by gunshots, but his younger brother. The cops said they almost apprehended him and were handcuffing him on the street when the younger brother charged at them in a stolen SUV. The cops got out of the way but the younger brother ran over the older one and his body was dragged down the street. That's what killed him.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibiru_cataclysm

i learned something today

Quote
The Nibiru cataclysm is a supposed disastrous encounter between the Earth and a large planetary object (either a collision or a near-miss) which certain groups believe will take place in the early 21st century. Believers in this doomsday event usually refer to this object as Planet X or Nibiru. The idea that a planet-sized object could collide with or pass by Earth in the near future is not supported by any scientific evidence and has been rejected as pseudoscience by astronomers and planetary scientists.[1]

The idea was first put forward in 1995 by Nancy Lieder,[2][3] founder of the website ZetaTalk. Lieder describes herself as a contactee with the ability to receive messages from extra-terrestrials from the Zeta Reticuli star system through an implant in her brain. She states that she was chosen to warn mankind that the object would sweep through the inner Solar System in May 2003 (though that date was later abandoned) causing Earth to undergo a pole shift that would destroy most of humanity. The prediction has subsequently spread beyond Lieder's website and has been embraced by numerous Internet doomsday groups, most of which linked the event to the 2012 phenomenon. Although the name "Nibiru" is derived from the works of the late ancient astronaut writer Zecharia Sitchin and his interpretations of Babylonian and Sumerian mythology, Sitchin denied any connection between his work and various claims of a coming apocalypse.

Daily Mail said reports that they took orders from Obama. They were trained by the FBI hence the quick FBI response. The older brother isn't dead, he's currently on his way back to Russia and the young brother has been adopted by the Obama family to live in the White House. This is Obama's first official assault on America in a physical manifestation that goes beyond civil liberties.

I'm no expert on these matters, but all the evidence I've heard so far leaves little doubt in my mind that this was a sophisticated attack against America carried out by a highly-trained group operating with military-style precision.

He also has a lot of pull, being the head of both the gun lobbies, the anti-gun lobbies, the abortion lobbies, and the anti-abortion lobbies.   Bat Boy deals from both sides of the deck to make sure the U.S. gov't is tied neatly around his finger.


Anyway, even if they tried they couldn't catch him.  They wouldn't recognize a goddamn vampire if one jumped up and bit them on the end of their fuckin' dick

Sophisticated detenator? All reports have said they used re-wired toy car controllers....which is the opposite of sophisticated.

I trawled the Glenn Beck website (ugh, his smarmy face is plastered all over every page) and this was all I could find.

http://www.glennbeck.com/2013/04/22/exposed-congressional-sources-confirm-saudi-national-was-to-be-deported-for-security-related-grounds-have-files-in-their-possession/ (http://www.glennbeck.com/2013/04/22/exposed-congressional-sources-confirm-saudi-national-was-to-be-deported-for-security-related-grounds-have-files-in-their-possession/)

Monday on radio, Glenn Beck revealed further details about the Saudi national who was the first suspect in the Boston marathon bombing. Despite denials from Janet Napolitano and officials from the U.S. Immigrations and Customs (ICE) that a Saudi national was taken into custody in connection to the Boston marathon bombing, several sources have confirmed that Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi was set to be deported for proven terrorist activity.

According to two FBI sources, Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi was taken “into custody” Monday April 15th at a Boston after he was injured in the blast.

A source within the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) told TheBlaze that on Monday night Al-Harbi’s Revere, Massachusetts apartment was searched and property was taken out.

At 4:00pm ET on Tuesday April 16th, The NCTC Field Watch Commander created an “event file” calling for Al-Harbi’s deportation using Section 212 3b, which is proven terrorist activity. According to TheBlaze’s sources, tagging someone as 3b requires solid evidence.

Fox News reporter Todd Starnes has also reported, “The Saudi national who was initially detained and then ruled out as a suspect in the Boston Marathon terrorist attack had been flagged on a terror watch list and was granted a student visa without being properly vetted, sources have told me.”

Starnes report no longer appears on the Fox News website, but can be found on Townhall.

Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) has told TheBlaze that he has detailed information on the Saudi national and confirmed that Al-Harbi was to be deported under Section 212 3b of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Alongside three other Congressmen, Rep. Duncan has requested a classified briefing on the Saudi national and the deportation order.

Boogie, that sort of house by house door kicking is what we would do in Iraq. Boston is not Iraq.

Interestingly, that is the same comparison that my brother made (he did two tours in Afghanistan).

And I am not saying that I automatically support such search actions by the police. 

At first, I thought the response was warranted, but since Friday I have come around more towards Mandark's position, especially considering how the lockdown and house by house search wasn't actually effective in finding the suspect, and it was only after the lockdown was lifted that a citizen located the guy.

I guess I'm still sort of fence-sitting on that front.

I watched a clip from his show today, the Saudi guy was his bombshell. Basically, the saudi guy was in charge of the terror cell that included the two brothers, and the FBI arrested him and was going to deport him (why were they just going to deport him if he was a known terrorist? ???) but then John Kerry and Obama spoke with the Saudi foreign minister, and now suddenly it's all cool and he isn't a suspect anymore. *que dramatic music*

Looks like he actually did reveal it: he's claiming the Saudi was directly involved in the bombing.
Quote
Conservative radio host Glenn Beck told his audience with certainty on Monday that the Saudi national who was detained in the immediate wake of the Boston bombings last week, Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, was involved in the attack on the Boston Marathon. Beck said that sources tell him that the Saudi was marked by U.S. officials as a likely violent extremist. He added that this event, in combination with meetings between ranking officials American federal government and Saudi authorities, raise troubling concerns.

 :pachah

TLDR: Saudi gets captured by cops, becomes suspect. Saudi officials show up in Washington, meet with Obama and Kerry, thus resulting in the Saudi suspect being  turned into just a witness.

Why would we deport a known terrorist? He would be sent to Gitmo lol

would have been more interesting if the bombshell Glenn Beck wanted to drop was the fact that the terrorist read Infowars.

Quote
WASHINGTON (AP) — In the years before the Boston Marathon bombings, Tamerlan Tsarnaev fell under the influence of a new friend, a Muslim convert who steered the religiously apathetic young man toward a strict strain of Islam, family members said.

Under the tutelage of a friend known to the Tsarnaev family only as Misha, Tamerlan gave up boxing and stopped studying music, his family said. He began opposing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He turned to websites and literature claiming that the CIA was behind the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and Jews controlled the world.

...


Tamerlan took an interest in Infowars, a conspiracy theory website. Khozhugov said Tamerlan was interested in finding a copy of the book "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," the classic anti-Semitic hoax, first published in Russia in 1903, that claims a Jewish plot to take over the world.

"He never said he hated America or he hated the Jews," Khozhugov said. "But he was fairly aggressive toward the policies of the U.S. toward countries with Muslim populations. He disliked the wars."

One of the brothers' neighbors, Albrecht Ammon, recently recalled an encounter in which Tamerlan argued about U.S. foreign policy, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and religion.

Ammon said Tamerlan described the Bible as a "cheap copy" of the Quran, used to justify wars with other countries.

"He had nothing against the American people," Ammon said. "He had something against the American government."

Khozhugov said Tamerlan did not know much about Islam beyond what he found online or what he heard from Misha.

"Misha was important," he said. "Tamerlan was searching for something. He was searching for something out there."

Doesn't this depend on whether you view the purpose of the lockdown as being primarily to catch the suspect, or primarily to protect the public? (Obviously ideally it would have accomplished both).

You can say it didn't help to catch the suspect with some justification but you can't categorically state that it failed to protect anyone, since no further casualties resulted.

I chose my words poorly. Basically, she said it's just one of those things where you see the coverage on TV and get an idea of the situation and the emotions running through a place, but it's still not even close to what you experience by being there in person, even a week after it happened. Very somber and quiet.
