Explosions at Boston Marathon

This got me to laugh a little:

the letter seems more like some crazy trying to capitalize on the tension of the current situation, similar to anthrax after 9/11


I want to say the anthrax happened later.....like October? This is just a random Senator though..........unless I missed something I don't think he's done anything notable lately. Seems like an odd target.
 
Rip a section from your shirt a few inches wide. Find a strong stick. Fold the shirt section over (but make sure it isn't really thin) and then place it above the wound (between the wound and the heart), several inches away from the wound. Put some padding between the skin and the tourniquet. Tie a half knot, put the stick on top of it, then tie a full knot over the stick. Twist the stick until it is tight enough to stop the bleeding.

If it doesn't hurt your arm, it isn't tight enough. Put it one joint above the bleeding.
 
SENATE POWDER TESTS POSITIVE FOR RICIN (Update -- 16 PEOPLE DECONTAMINATED) This has happened before. I don't recall them ever catching this guy. I have a feeling these are unrelated. I barely remembered this. There are great similarities in this and what happened in 2004.

It's interesting because all the mail is delivered to the Senate and House office buildings after they've been irradiated at another location. It's not as if a postal truck just pulls up with all the letters sent to Harry Reid and are dropped in his office.

I agree. This seems likely to have been sent before the bombings, and if so, the timing makes it seem connected.
 
The pattern is so similar, it makes you wonder if it isn't related to this other letter that happened in 2004.

That's kind of what I thought. Here in Chicago yesterday morning, a guy was taken into custody on the train platform for saying he was going to blow up a train. I have heard other things in other cities. It does seem like the crazies/copy cats come out for these things.

I wish we know who honestly did this
 
I wonder if the crazy who did this is waiting until April 19th to claim responsibility? April 19th is the anniversary of both the fiery end of the Waco siege and the Oklahoma City bombing.

The 20th is when Columbine happened and is also Hitler's birthday. Kind of dark couple days on the calendar.
 
What i find ironic is how one week prior Pitino crouching at the loud streamer poppers is within seconds a viral gif on the internet and then a week later the real thing isn't a laughing matter.

Also the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, April 19, 1775.
 
here's another one. Someone on 4chan claims to have tied the backpack that the bomb was in to a person in the crowd, using pictures taken of the scene. Purely speculative. Guy just could have had a similar backpack.

Not the only "suspect" picture I've seen, there's several going around it seems.

yeah, that's not exactly an uncommon looking backpack. well, if nothing else, I'm sure the FBI has access to the same info, and will follow up on it as they see fit. I imagine the amount of video and photographs of the event is staggering.
