Boston Marathon Explosion

[AUChizad]

This was on our local news cast last night. He said they couldn't say to the public "Do not worry, this is just a training exercise." to warn them. The BPD obviously knew there was a threat but proceeded anyway. Lawsuits anyone?

Please...STFU.


By the way, don't panic anyone! This is the headline al.com ran, and tweeted just a couple of hours into this thing.

Precaution in Washington not affecting Alabama football team's trip (updated)

The Alabama football team had left the White House on Monday afternoon before precautionary lockdown measures were taken in response to bombings in Boston, according to a team spokesman.

The Crimson Tide was honored by President Barack Obama in a 1:05 p.m. CDT ceremony on the South Lawn.

The team later moved on to National Museum of Natural History, which is administered by the Smithsonian Institution, and is scheduled to leave at approximately 4 p.m. CDT.

This was the third Washington, D.C., visit in the past four years for Alabama, which has won BCS championships at the end of the 2009, 2011 and 2012 seasons.

Update: The Crimson Tide arrived back in Tuscaloosa at approximately 7:45 p.m. CDT.

WHEW! And to think, some of us were concerned!

I will not STFU. And I quoted it wrong. He said they "kept saying it was a exercise". STFU? LOL. The truth will always prevail. Another botched inside job by the FBI/CIA/Homeland insecurity. Hell, DHS is purchasing 700 lbs of Ammonium Nitrate. WTF is that for?

Actually, it was a disgruntled journalist named Selena Roberts who planted the bombs.

Unless it doesn't.

I see someone has been reading infowars this morning bright and early.  We must never let a good crisis go to waste, be it Jones saying it was an inside job or Matthews saying that terrorist are always far right.   What a couple of assholes.

[wesfau2]

And I'm scheduled to be in a race three times as big - the biggest in the US - on JULY 4th in Atlanta.

Seriously debating not doing it now but I'd like to hear what the peachtree road race officials plan to do for precaution and beefed up security. Sad thing is, not sure there is much they can do. 

I'll be there.  Fuck 'em.

[AUTiger1]

But I just painted my pitchfork in Saudi blood.....

Just keep it near.

I am going to keep mine near as well.  Shep Smith from Fox was reporting the suspect in custody was a Saudi national.  I also have one painted in Crazy White Boy blood as well.  Can't be too prepared.

I actually witnessed the newscast and it was Brasscheck TV that got the download. Now I have it.

When I was driving home from class last night, some bammer show was on 94.5 giving highlights of Alabama's trip to the White House. The anchor said something like, "We know the events of Boston are stealing the headlines this evening, but let's not forget that there are good things in the world right now like Alabama's third trip to the White House in four years.  Here's what President Obama had to say to the team...."

Due to work schedule I have not seen much coverage.

Has ESPN reported how Auburn was involved?

You.  And Alex Jones. Are both touched.

You can't stop the signal, Mal.  Here's hoping you also meet an Operative with a sword.  I'm pretty sure you already have a Love Bot.

We’re gonna need paint. We’re gonna need red paint

What happens down the road when we find out the crazies were right all along?


I take the crazy and file it in back, just in case an ounce of it is true.


But never fear, the federal government in on the case. DHS has pulled the other 95% of their agents off of you and me and are now concentrating on finding the shooter behind the grassy knoll. Uh I mean the bomber.

They're still working on it, story to follow.

Let me shoot your conspiracy theory down real quick.

First tweet about the explosions - 1:57 PM CT.
https://twitter.com/BostonGlobe/status/323872661866442753

The two tweets you're shitting your pants over 2:53 CT:
https://twitter.com/BostonGlobe/status/323886829596205056
https://twitter.com/BostonGlobe/status/323886879453892609

This was clearly an attempt to detonate, what was believed at the time, to be a third bomb "as part of  bomb squad activities". You think a tweet an hour later is evidence that the government orchestrated this attack? A tweet that WARNS people of a controlled explosion (standard protocol for disarming a bomb in a crisis situation like this) that clearly took place an hour (and about a billion tweets) after the initial bombing?
