As much as we rag on pats fans and folks from Boston over our sports rivalry, that all goes out the window on a day like this.

Hope all our fins fans and their families and loved ones are ok.

what a bunch of sickos in this world. I have friends that run that race--hope they are OK.
I am not taking the Metro home from work in DC today.

I was thinking the same thing about my train out of grand central in NYC today.

they found and are detonating other devices, so there is no doubt this is terrorism

Correct, berk.

Terrible news.

We will find the perpetrators and they will pay, I am quite sure.

sad, WTF is wrong with people.. Mercy should not be wasted on the bastards that did this....
Be safe to Curt, JC, and all the rest of the phins crew from the area.. blessings...
I agree with Truth and Berk, stay away from high visibility soft targets..

The NY POST is either way ahead of everyone else, covering another planet or making it up as they go along.

They reported an hour ago that 12 are known dead.... Nobody else has that number.

They also just reported the BPD have a suspect in custody who is a Saudi national.

thanks for update, interesting they shut down cell service to prevent detonation of additional bombs.. and it says the suspect is injured from a blast.... pisses me off these terrorist walk among us on our soil, hiding like cowards...

This is the beginning folks. Unfortunately these POS insects will never stop.

I hope all of the Boston people and families, especially from this site are ok too.
I wish there was not so much hatred in the world for people to do this kind of thing. Obviously, it's such a tragedy that certain individuals and sometimes groups feel compelled to express themselves with such senseless violent acts. The only thing we can do is use this dreadful moment today to reach out and express our love and appreciation to everyone that is a friend, a family member or even a relative acquaintance. One day may we share a moment of peace, instead of the collective sense of horror that this day has brought upon us.

Really getting tough to explain this sh.t to a 5 yr old and not freak him out. Thoughts are with everyone in Boston.

I would caution you all to remember that in the early hours following the Oklahoma City bombing that suspicion and blame was also being directed towards "middle eastern looking men" and we all know how that turned out. The amateurish nature of these bombings remind me more of the Olympic village bombing in Atlanta than anything else and, that also turned out to be a white American. In truth, there are plenty of nut cases in this country with a grudge against the government and they also walk among us.

Just do what parents did on December 8, 1941.

I won't hold my breath, Hooligan.

My wife was talking the same thing you are talking and I offered to bet her $10 if it was ANYTHING (animal liberation front to KKK or anything other than Arab terrorists). No bet. I reduced it to $5. No bet. I reduced it to $2. No bet. $1, no bet. .50 cents, no bet. When she refused to bet .05 cents, I said "See, your views aren't worth a nickel."

Just heard that an 8 year old boy was one of the deceased.

pretty sure this one is gonna turn out to be some home grown nut bag

Don't make a bet, berk. The press is always in a position to get secret information from people working at police stations and they are already reporting that a detainee who was grabbed because he was seen on surveillance earlier planting backpacks in trash cans, is a Saudi national, Osama Bin Laden's home country.

You are probably correct. This is probably amateur hour at best but authorities have a man in custody who is of Islamic descent.

I believe that if the attack had been professionaly planned and carried out, the death toll would be much larger....but that is just me

don't discount that this happened on tax day, patriots day, and in boston. also mid-april seems to be a favored time for the US born wackos to attack

This isn't an american homegrown terrorist, unless of the Islamic kind... Attacking the Boston Marathon with multiple bombs is an attack on America by Islamic fundamentalist IMO.. And the fact all of the suspects they are looking for or have in custody, seem to be foreign nationals, supports that claim..

we shall see. where are you seeing reported who they have in custody?

I will say that who ever did this did not break the will or spirit of the American people. I would also like to say that. I am not afraid, and will defend myself, my family and this country until my last dying breath. The Jackass who is responsible for this incident does not scare or intimidate anyone. They have an enormous target on their back now, and they will be caught. Justice will be served. We may disagree on many things in this country, but keeping our selves free remains a right that will never be taken away out of fear. God bless this country, and her people.

At least we knew who our enemies were back then. People who did this are the biggest cowards on this earth. May justice be swift and severe.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Hopefully they weren't living and studying in Florida this time, then decided to drive on up to Boston on their Florida Driver Licenses.

What a terrible day for the people of Boston. If these maggots have gotten back into the country then we're really dropping the ball somewhere.

LOL. Walking in through the Southern boarder would be easier then giving 11 Million people who proved how easy it is, all amnesty. Buts that's a different story for a different thread.

When they disclose the materials used for the explosion it will say a lot. If its made of Military C4 and not homemade from fertilizer then we have a big problem on our hands.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Let's remember that the bombs went off near the finish line. The winner of the race was dark skinned and the majority of the first couple hundred racers were dark skinned. Suppose a trainer was meeting his team of athletes at the finish line with multiple bags filled with towels, clothes, water, food or, whatever, he would look guilty of something to some. It will take awhile to sort this out.
I'm still leaning towards home grown nut jobs.
