It has the finger prints of mideast terrorists. First explosion draws in response people, second takes them.

The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
naaaa can't be Ric DHS says them self's that us prior service members are the bigger threat.
Moderating is a responsibility not a privilege, abuse your power and you lose, no matter how powerful you may think you are.
The explosions were two blocks apart as reported by the news. My daughter was in the area but has since contacted us and she is ok.

Thank God for small miracles that's some good news out of this!

Looks like low order explosions, not high power and LOTS of smoke. Poorly contained
BP or one of these homebrew things that don't really work that
well (thank God!). Seems like way too much smoke for smokeless propellant powder,
altho never set off a bunch of it only in cartridges and a few tsps for jollies.
Seems like pretty minimal injuries compared to what could have happened. Little
consolation if you were one of the injured.
I'm sure that some mideast guy is trying to get some "unbelievers" killed. You can BET
that the left-stream media will NOT say this is a possibility.
Seems fortunate that this was not some really big, milspec kind of bang. Seems like
it could have been far, far worse. Again - not if you were one of those hurt.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
Regardless,.....this happened on Obamas watch.
The Flag is flown upside down as an official distress signal that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness has been compromised.
This is clearly a hate crime since the blast occurred late in the race so only slow white people would be injured.
" The blasts occurred more than five hours after the start of the race, at a time when most top athletes were off the course but slower amateur marathoners were still running." http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/c...0,641755.story
I worry anytime large groups of people gather. Prayers for quick recovery of the injured and capture of the bomber(s).
Any speculation of the type of explosive used which appears to be low level? Black powder, TATP? Which explosives smoke like that?
It is now being reported that two are dead and 22 injured.

An old Cherokee was teaching his grandson about life. "Inside me two wolves fight," he told the boy.
"One is evil - he is anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, lies, false pride, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, generosity, truth and faith. The same fight is inside you - and every other person, too."
The grandson thought for a minute and asked,"Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee replied, "The one you feed."
When I heard about the explosions my very first thought was " I wonder what those expletives are up to now".
Expletives = Washington DC(District of Corruption)

Explosions cause smoke. It can be cause by items in the vicinity catching on fire or dirt, debris, etc. So it may not be smoke from the explosive, but instead smoke, dirt, burning debris caused by the explosion.
It was just mentioned that two more devices have been found and are being dismantled.

ANFO. Depending on quality it can be a LOT of smoke and a low order explosion. All depends on raw materials.
And on a lighter note, the media, assuming that garbage cans were involved, has been repeatedly stressing that Great Britian has outlawed garbage cans!
"When they outlaw garbage cans, only the criminals will have garbage cans"
Unbelievable. And all I wanted to do was watch Judge Judy.
Saddened by the injuries/deaths. But I'll sleep safe tonight knowing that our goobermint will now act to outlaw bombs, as well as guns, maybe even marathons. Disarmed, led to the slaughter. And we are doing it to ourselves..............................
Been paddlin' upstream all my life, don't see no reason to turn around now.
Some of the idiot talking heads drifted over into "may be related to the efforts to enact
gun control laws this week".
Can't say here what I yelled out loud at the screen.
How about evil, stupid pukes.. . . gotta keep control. . . . grrrr!

It has been reported by Reuters that there was also an explosion a the JFK Library. Don't know any more about that.

I just saw a news conference where one of thebpeople in charged was asked if it could be terrorists and the response was something close to , we won't confirm or deny but you see what is happening and whatbis being said make your own decisions. Then he got a smile and said but the president has been notified.
Change? Not this type. Can we just have a refund?
