My thoughts and prayers go out to everybody in Boston.

Thats to bad.What gets me upset is the media screws things up worse because they dont bother with the research. All they are looking for is good Nielsen ratings.

They over blown the story with my neighbor weeks ago.

Whose heart can become so filled with hatred?

I'm crying for about the 3rd time already. So f*cking senseless.

An 8 year old child was killed... So senseless.

Tea Party... Boston... Tax Day... Coincidence? :shrug:

I hate people today.

Born and raised a hop, skip, and a jump north of Boston, this story really hits home for me. I woke up today "knowing" it was a holiday, even though it's only a Massachusetts holiday. Some things stick with you even after twenty years.

My niece volunteered to work with the elite group of runners, and headed into Boston early this morning. She was soooo excited!

Of course, when I heard the news (I was driving on the highway) I had a major stress-filled hour until I finally heard she was okay.

My heart goes out to all the families who lost a loved one, all the people who were injured and to the city of Boston in general. http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/images/icons/heart.gif http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/images/icons/heart.gif http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/images/icons/heart.gif http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/images/icons/heart.gif

That one turned out to be the cause of faulty wiring. Nothing to do with the bombings.

Back in the day when I lived with my dad we lived in Ashland where the marathon runs through and I've been going to that since I was born up until I moved in with my mom. I actually thought about going to Ashland and seeing the marathon but I couldn't. I didn't find out about the bombing until I got to UMASS Worcester bringing my mom to her Dr appointment and the tv had the news on and all the doctors and secretaries were watching.

Last year my cousin ran the marathon and thank God this year she didn't. But she was in Boston helping out and she is safe.

My thoughts all go out to the families and people affected by this horrible event =`(

I'm glad the fire at the JFK wasn't related to the Marathon bombings. Glad it was just a fire

Wow .I'm glad they got somebody.

They were probably dozens of people with the same style backpacks that day .

The one with the bomb in it got to be pretty on the heavy side.

I figure with the 1000's of people taking photos and shooting videos plus the security cameras they can hone in on and find the sick idiot that done this terrible thing.

I hope the spectators will continue to provide their photos and videos to the authorities to help investigate and find on who did this and why.

now it's conflicting is the AP the new New York Post ?

the local (Oklahoma City) TV stations have been covering the bombing since the 'obvious' from April 1995...and add to it the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon is coming up and now people are on pins and needles here.

So here's my theory on the Boston bombings: It was masterminded by two women. One of the women is in her 50's or 60's. The other in her late 20's or early to mid thirties. A man was used by them to drop off the bombs in the desired locations.The older woman has some type of gripe against the United States government. Not necessarily Obama.Her gripe is on behalf of another man who no longer is alive. A man that she loved. Maybe her father, husband, brother, uncle, who knows. The man who planted the bombs will be caught first and he will implicate the younger woman.Neither of them will reveal any info about the older woman. At a later date it will be revealed that the older woman was the mastermind.

I have to say that backpack must of have alot of weight to it with the pressure cooker full of nails and ball bearings.

Yes The anniversaries for the Oklahoma City bombing and the Waco fire are here.

Plus the poison letter for the president the other day.

What in the hell is going on here.

Also At least 15 dead, 160 injured in explosion in Texas at a fertilizer facility that officials say was likely an industrial accident but who knows.

once again the New York Post is reliable source

I was at my new job, I left my NY Jets backpack by the time clock because I needed to ask a question to our P&O person, and the other P&O rep asked aloud whose backpack it was...The only BOMB on my bag are the Jets, year after year after year...

Remember what J.E.T.S. means folks...
Just
End

Season

Wow .I guess now there will be a crackdown with people with backpacks.

It looks like now they found who did it.

A team of brothers were behind it. one was killed in shootout according to the news online.
