Explosion Boston Marathon #2

[trigger]

Deval Patrick-"After yesterdays act of terror..."

Two and only two explosive devices were found yesterday. No other unexploded devices were found. Over 150 people were injured, some gravely.

He shouts out to the first responders.

Gee only two were found. IMO that is not good. When I heard other devices were found there would be evidence on then.

Oh my, small, terrible world. Just found out that little Martin Richard, his siblings, and mom are family of a friend of mine.

((hugs)) The world is with them. My deepest respect and sympathy.

 

[Gardenlady]

And he looks just like my friend and her siblings, and her little boys, seeing that pic right above.

And if this one doesn't break your heart, I don't know what could:

From Fox 25 Boston.

Prayers to Martin's family and friends.

His pictures show so much life and love.

May justice be swift and harsh.

What a trajedy and so uncalled for.

Prayers to those that lost their loved ones and those that have survived. May they be surrounded by love and the best medical personnel during their recovery.

(((hugs)))

Well, we are back to two devices. This leads me to stick with my theory this is a homegrown incident and perp(s), unconnected with any wider/larger group. Whether its right-wing extremism or Islamic extremism, or some other "ism" altogether remains to be seen.

My husband said the bombs were crude. Very easily made and the instructions on how to do it are easily found on the internet. Whatever the religion or background of the perp/(s), I think that the incident was done by a lone wolf nut or two (like McVey). Except that it wasn't done to create property damage, but to hurt and kill people.

The DHS threat level for today is that there are no active alerts (according to both mt-mil com.blogspot.de <military com monitoring post website> and DHS's National Terror Alert Response Center website).

My own opinion.

OMG those big beautiful eyes...

I hugged my daughter extra hard last night when I got home from work. She said, Mommy you squish me! I couldn't help it.

Rest In Peace Martin.

Well, if the person whom they are suspicious of has clothing on that's easy to identify they should be able to find him in videos taken by folks. I hope this gets resolved quickly.

Anyon still watching the live feed ?

Plane is stopped on tarmac, rescue, firetrucks surrounded. I think they said all passengers are off, luggage being check. Trying to listen but at work also.

Good grief. Lets hope this is just an over abundance of security, heightened suspicions, etc, and not something bigger.

How tense and scary it must be for many who are having to board planes trying to get back home from the marathon.

I think we will see a lot of this for the next few days. Better safe than sorry.

Fox News is promoting upcoming interview with older gentleman runner who was knocked down by blast and whose status has been the subject of much interest here and elsewhere.
