No man This is fucking terrible..

My condolences to everyone involved (

 

[Lord_Byron28]

I'm still catching up but why are people blaming Obama for this. I've literally been reading people post how sad they are about the boston marathon and then say "thanks Obama". They aren't kidding either.

 

[Memento_Mori15]

What if North Korea is somehow involved?

Please people, stop posting things like this.

 

[TheNatural]

FOX News saying at least 3 dead.

 

[Meadows]

bare in mind that you're going to hear an absolute tonne of hoaxes or false alarms in the next few minutes

 

[devious.one]

It's such an awesome sight to see the EMTs and other crews respond immediately like that. In one of those videos, I seen a few dudes running towards the smoke not even caring about the potential of more explosions going off.

 

[spindashing]

Possible device at JFK library.

...Holy fuck. My father was there this morning, he went on a trip to Haiti.

 

[Poltergust]

This is awful. Why did something like this happen?

 

[Omegasquash]

And now I hear the sirens...not sure whether to head out or not, here.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Dude...

It's not a joke man. You never know.

Please people, stop posting things like this.

So you're saying there's no chance that North Korea would do something like this?

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

Wow, my thoughts are with everyone involved. So glad my dad decided against running it this year.

 

[Discotheque]

Lots of attacks make not much sense. I would not put it past any religious nut job.

nah. even this attack makes sense due to how crowded the boston marathon would be.

whether or not the bomber/s have any agenda a place like this ensured higher news coverage and lots of panic and casualties.

terrible stuff, i hope the injured recover.

 

[Shake Appeal]

What if North Korea is somehow involved?

I think you can safely rule out North Korea.

 

[Timedog]

There's cameras literally everywhere, with tons of witnesses everywhere. There's no need to speculate, we'll know exactly what happened relatively soon.

 

[GJS]

Fox news aired a picture/video of a guy with his legs gone being moved in a wheelchair from the scene.

 

[Vilix]

Upset at the government. This idea seems a lot more plausible than foreign terrorists, although we have no clue who did this yet.

We don't even know what the cause of the explosions were in the first place. Both CBS and CNN are reporting that they do not know yet.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Can't be coincidence on tax day in Boston, as I'm sure many have said already.

terrorist attackin at large gathering is not exactly unpredictable.

 

[pulga]

What if North Korea is somehow involved?

Or Iran, Venezuela, fucking Haiti for all we know. This speculation is pointless atm.

 

[jstripes]

This is completely horrifying.

If these were indeed bombs, and as no one's claimed responsibility yet, my gut tells me it's some lone domestic terrorist nutcase.

 

[serplux]

This is horrible. Discouraged.

 

[tolkir]

What if North Korea is somehow involved?

What if it's an accident?

 

[Nibel]

I don't think it's the fucking time for North Korea jokes people

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Police scanner saying to alert social media - everyone in the area needs to evacuate immediately. Danger zone, do not stay.

I guess its real enough than :O

 

[Harry Potter]

It's not a joke man. You never know.

Ya, your never know. So what's the point of speculating?

 

[Scrizzard]

It's too early to call, but I think what I've seen so far looks hopeful for casualties and injuries. Obviously any toll is too high, but it doesn't look like the nightmare scenario you might imagine when you hear 'Boston Marathon' and 'bombs' in the same sentence.


'Terrorism' is not the exclusive domain of any one group or ideology.

Yeah, I'm glad this doesn't look too terrible in terms of a death toll. This is good, like that mall shooting a couple days ago where only a couple were injured.

 

[dsister44]

@DrWardBondTV: "Third bomb found in trash can at Boston marathon. Pray for the protection of law enforcement and EMS in the area please."

Hmm? I didn't hear this on the police scanner

 

[Devolution]

The bombs were just left in bags? Fuck.

 

[maniac-kun]

What if North Korea is somehow involved?

i hope thats not the case.

 

[Hindle]

Is it Definatly a bomb? Not a gas explosion or anything.

 

[gutterboy44]

Wow these CBS reporters are fucking awful. They are trying to out do each other with who saw the most gruesome stuff and how crazy it was. They are also trying to do their best to make the reporting all about them.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Photo of the site of explosion (Pre-Explosion) from Google Maps

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Bombs were apparently hidden in trash cans.

 

[ph33nix]

I haven't seen photos, don't want to. All I hope is that whoever is responsible for this burns and dies slowly.

 

[Chakan]

That's sad. Very sad.

 

[The_Monk]

Fellow GAFfers please don't judge too soon regarding this. It's just a sad event but pointing fingers to others as a chance to who did it does not help to be honest.

 

[Certinty]

This is fucking disgusting.

I hope the bane of such sickening shit deserves to rot in hell.

 

[MThanded]

...Holy fuck. My father was there this morning, he went on a trip to Haiti.

Not the airport. The library.

 

[The Elite]

Is it Definatly a bomb? Not a gas explosion or anything.

Location makes it awfully suspect.

 

[fawaz]

What if North Korea is somehow involved?

Are you retarded?

 

[Omiee]

People lets just wait and see who this is. No use speculating atm.

 

[deGod]

Hope they find the dickhead/dickheads who did this

 

[Eighty Deuce]

What could possibly be the message they are trying to send? "I hate long distance runners?" It's just really weird, it's not a symbol of America or capitalism like the WTC or the Superbowl or something would be, it's just a race...

Everyone's a target, that's all they need to say. Im all to familiar with road side bombs.

 

[cbox]

ughh I saw pics of limbs, I hope everyone can get out of this safely and alive :|

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Local news stream for new people in this thread

 

[Scrizzard]

What if it's an accident?

It would have to be two accidents, since there were two separate explosions. Which seems less accidental.

 

[ZZMitch]

oh no This is horrible I don't know what to say.. I will be in Boston in a few days

 

[Cake Boss]

What if North Korea is somehow involved?

Or Penguins from the North Pole.

How about you wait for that information to come through before throwing blind accusations and suggestions.

 

[marrec]

It's such an awesome sight to see the EMTs and other crews respond immediately like that. In one of those videos, I seen a few dudes running towards the smoke not even caring about the potential of more explosions going off.

People really are awesome sometimes. EMS, Cops, Firefights, Plainclothes, Armed Forces, Runners all rushing in to help people. Screw the random nutjob who did this.

 

[PBY]

Aw man. theblaze.com comments section makes me so sad.
