We should really put more effort into banning bombs instead of guns.

Boston marathon

I hate them too! The cowards that hide and kill innocent people! No way to deal with them but wipe them off the face of the earth! Can only blame Ishmael for the start of it all! It's been the same every day since then!

Cowards pick the soft targets, despicable.

I know you were being sarcastic, but it spins around again to criminals dont care what is illegal or not. No "laws" will ever stop terrorism and whack jobs.

All the way from Australia I am very sorry to hear of this horrible act. My prayers go out to those who lost their lives and the loved ones they left behind.
A very sad day.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, not by any means, but this one smells fishy to me. A huge event, on the route of one of the most famous marathons, near the finish line, tons of cops everywhere. I haven't been to Boston, but I know how it is in NYC. Somehow someone managed to hide these things right on the route? Several of them? There were no check points? No dogs? No videos of the crowd, before during and after?

I don't know, I hope my first instincts about this are wrong. But... if they are, we've really been putting up with a lot of excess security measures and loss of basic freedoms for no good reason.

I'll let guys like Gregg answer "real" info, but from the footage I saw, it was a surface detonation, very little shockwave (note LEO's standing within 7m of the detonation with no injuries) and the color of the smoke denotes the explosive type- as simple and amateur otherwise known as (opportunist pussy). Very sad to hear of 3 causalities, one of which was an 8 year old

[MelvinsArmy]

Makes sense Reg. I just saw a headline saying that there they were small with no signs of high grade explosives.

I'm still curious to find out what exactly went off, how it got so close and undetected.

[klavy69]

the whole situation is just wrong. What was the purpose of something so stupid?

- as simple and amateur otherwise known as (opportunist pussy).

in wholeheartedly agreeance upon that.

how it got so close and undetected.

could be something as simple as a backpack carried into the stands.

just doesn't make any kind of sense...but I guess when does it make sense when stupid people do stupid things?

the whole thing is just sad...

I pray for the lost and injured. A terrible act of cowardness!
