My money is on domestic terrorism for this one.  It's Tax Day and we have one of the most tax oppressive administrations in US history in office.  A US nut job is not beyond the realm of possibility.

Even so, there are other ways to protest besides killing innocent fellow Americans.

Black guy with a hoodie, Saudi national...

Cue the racial profiling lawsuits in 3...2...1...

Read the link I posted.

20 year old Saudi is the suspect. 

No 20 year old Saudi is worried about tax day.  A 20 year Saudi wants America's anti-Muslim citizens destroyed and terrorized.

Maybe, maybe not.  I trust the NY Post about as much as I trust Obama.  They are a tabloid.  I would not be surprised if this was not a knee jerk reaction.  Not saying I am right, but not saying the Post is right either.  Too early to tell.

He would be the government's (FBI's) "patsy".

Some of our own were there. http://www.oanow.com/news/national/article_0d89fce4-a607-11e2-a8c7-0019bb30f31a.html

This, along with the fact that nobody has claimed responsibility leads me to think the same.

Combine the gun control issue and tax day, and you get a crazy tea party idiot most likely.

That, and it was Boston.  Birthplace of American Liberty, Boston Massacre, "no taxation without representation", Tea Party, Radical Revolutionaries, etc. etc. etc.  It's where it all began.  Some extremist militia type sees this as striking a blow for "patriotic 'muricans ever where". 

I know the FBI has most of these type groups infiltrated or under careful watch.  What's scary is that they obviously had no idea this one was coming.  The (good) problem with Joe Bubba militias is that some redneck gets drunk down at the pool hall and blabs about the big plan to blow shit up, and they all get busted before you can say "Pabst Blue Ribbon".  But not this time. This has the fingerprints of a carefully planned militaristic operation all over it.  Multiple devices, delayed sequential detonations, and complete mission secrecy.  I would wager no more than three guys - more than that and loose lips or an attack of conscience will sink ships.  This was professional.  I am going to guess someone spent some time somewhere in a sandbox and then came home with new skills and a bad attitude.

I think it was the Judean People's Front.

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.

Don't you mean the People's Front of Judea?

[bottomfeeder]

Speaks Volumes.

Government's behind many "terror" bombings

Project Gladio in Italy attempted to use domestic terrorism on a longstanding basis to maintain the political status quo. Seems to be a strategy also discussed in the report from Iron Mountain. The tactics beat down the public disfavor with the present government with fear of a ubiquitous, and nebulous threat so that the same masses ultimately seek protection from the government, and conform to the government's political order and agenda as a quid pro quo. Sometimes the far right is infiltrated and made a scape goat; other times a leftist patsy is apprehended and held in public display.

As I said earlier, there's not a time, since 9-11, that I set foot in a venue where thousands of people are gathered, and the thought of what if, doesn't cross my mind. But then you have to think they've (Whoever did this and all other acts of terrorism) won if you stay away.

This was on our local news cast last night. He said they kept making an announcement 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?

Furthermore, according to Local15TV.com, a University of Mobile's Cross Country Coach said there were bomb-sniffing dogs at both the start and finish lines, long before any explosions went off. He said:

"They kept making announcements on the loud speaker that it was just a drill and there was nothing to worry about. It seemed like there was some sort of threat, but they kept telling us it was just a drill.

University of Mobile's Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines.

"They kept making announcements to the participants do not worry, it's just a training exercise," Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15.

(Shades of 9/11 when workers in the South Tower were told to go back into their offices. That the fire was under control.)

Stevenson said he saw law enforcement spotters on the roofs at the start of the race. He's been in plenty of marathons in Chicago, D.C., Chicago, London and other major metropolitan areas but has never seen that level of security before.

"Evidently, I don't believe they were just having a training exercise," Stevenson said. "I think they must have had some sort of threat or suspicion called in."
