Boston Bombing -- Who Did It?

[spidey07]

Lone nut, but initial reactions on most big media sites is the standard Islam.

Could still be islam/muslim.

It all fits the profile. Radical muslims have been calling for folks to target annual sporting events. Put this together with all the other facts and it's looking like 95th percentile muslim terrorist.

 

[cubby1223]

I'm wondering if it might be someone whose son/daughter or niece/nephew was collateral damage in a drone strike.

It's an out there theory but if the guy was captured and revealed that as his motivation that'd be an awkward moment for the Administration.

a.k.a. the plot of Showtime's hit series Homeland?

 

[finglobes]

Iran has been promising hits from US getting involved in helping Syrian rebels (Al Qaeda to boot). Good chance this is related since those kinds of bombs originate from Pakistan/India

"Although it is not known yet who is responsible for Monday’s heinous bombings at the Boston Marathon that killed three and injured more than 100 people, a source within Iranian intelligence services told WND the Islamic regime was behind them and to look for trails through Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Whoever is responsible right wing, left wing, anarchist, Muslim, Christian or whatever isn't representative of their wider group no matter how much extremists of other ilks try to paint them as such.

It would be nice if everyone remembers that.

Homeland's plot involves a U.S. Marine turned by a terrorist. Not a terrorist whose relative was killed in a drone strike.

If only more people on the streets had a bomb this bombing would have been stopped!

LOL.

While I disagree with the position I am assuming you have on guns, very well played sir.

 

[Remobz]

Really? So of the thousands of Muslims serving in the US military, how many have decided to put their religion ahead of their country and plunge a knife in the back of one of their fellow soldiers? How are they any different than your Roman Catholic cousin? I'm not even muslim, but what complete and total bullshit.

Ever heard of spying or divulging information or even training secretly? Many ways to contribute to the terrorist cause other than killing fellow soldiers with a knife or gun or bomb. Many many ways to do so secretly.

How are they different than my Roman catholic cousin?

How many soldiers (Western Countries) do you know have killed their comrades based on religious beliefs other than Muslims?

One incident is too much I say. Much more than one incident world wide and domestic. Look at Afghanistan for example.

Yes, they are good Muslims (not sure what percentage?) I imagine that would defend America with their lives but you cannot deny that the US Army does not look more closely (even if they deny it) on Muslim soldiers than regular soldiers due to past incidents.

I personally feel due to Islamic beliefs (way of life) they are MORE LIKELY to "break" as seen in the past as compared to soldiers of other religions. And "break" can mean other things than just outright violence.

Why can't you understand this?

CNN leans my way: domestic right wing. Reason: bomb too primitive compared to most jihadi bombings.

No, most left-wing violence ends up being entrapment scenarios where the federal informant is the one egging them on.

For some reason, this doesn't happen with right-wing terrorists, who also tend to be more successful in killing people.

which is why people naturally assume that right wing terrorism is a greater threat than left wing terrorism. Because it is, factually.

LMAO! The dick measuring contests between the two parties always amuse me but this is one of the best I have seen in quite a while. Your argument is that your side is too stupid to pull it off but is nonetheless willing.


PS: I understand what the definition of entrapment is but if you even allow yourself to be "entrapped" into a position to commit terrorist acts against your own country you are willing.

I dunno. It is ridiculously easy for any half intelligent person to build something that goes boom with materials completely sourced and purchased legally inside the US. Hell, you can probably order everything you need off of Amazon and get free two day shipping if you have a prime account. The risk of importing small (relatively speaking) bombs of this nature just doesn't make sense to me. Hell anyone with an internet connection and a prepaid credit card could have easily made an ANFO device before they even figured out how to smuggle it in from Sri Lanka or Bangladesh.

Its obviously possible but it just doesn't make a bit of sense to me.

My guesses:

The pressure cooker bomb is frequently used by islamo terrorists. The instruction for building one were published in the AQ magazine named Inspire. Inspire also publishes articles encouraging AQ sympathizers commit these and other acts of terrorism on citizens.

So, my guess is an AQ sympathizer of some sort.

I think the Boston marathon was an opportunistic (soft) target. I've heard many runners place a backpack near the finish line before starting so when they finish they have their supplies (water, food, clothing etc.) handy. This makes hiding a bomb in a sack very convenient.

Boston is home to a crap load of universities. It may be that the bomber attends one and hence the marathon was conveniently close. Might also provide them an opportunity to be a volunteer, thus giving them access and a cover of sorts

I do not think this the work of anti-tax, TEA party or and US anti-govt groups. I think an anti-tax group would hit an IRS building, not a marathon. Similar for US anti-govt groups.

I wouldn't guess any govt like that of Iran etc. It was too amateurish and low level.

Sigh, I hate to admit it but my guess is that Incorruptable was right. The war on Christianity and more specifically Easter finally reached the boiling point. All of those "Spring egg hunts", "spring celebrations" and the worst offender of all "spring equinox" simply got to be to much to bear, the pressure cooker finally popped and the easter bunny sought to finally deliver a victory in a decisive battle in the War on Easter. Currently he has a carrot hanging out of one side of his mouth like a big cuban cigar saying "bet you fuckers call it an Easter egg hunt next year".

 

[blankslate]

You have not watched Homeland, have you? I have.

I have watched both seasons.

So you're saying the terrorist is a U.S. marine?

 

[irishScott]

I added "The Jews" the poll to be tongue-in-cheek. I never expected anyone to take that option seriously.

Lurkers from Stormfront?

?

The entire motivation behind the terrorist attacks in the show was a drone strike that killed Issa, Abu Nazir's son, whom Sgt. Brody was tasked to educate and formed a strong bond with. And then they devised a bomb using ball bearings to enact their strike. Yes, the show is all about a terrorist who had a relative killed in a drone strike. But now I'm getting off topic to the thread...

Umm

The exact same bomb has been attempted numerous times by Muslim terrorists in the US?

Love how CNN is ignoring facts to push agenda.

 

[blankslate]

is all about

It's not all about a terrorist who had a relative killed in a drone strike. Otherwise that guy would have had more screen time than either Brody or the CIA agent who got him to confess.

The drone strike that killed children wasn't the impetus for the attacks that Brody planned to participate in. It surely helped motivate him though. Even if the Drone attack didn't kill civilians the plan was still to use Brody as a tool. The drone strike just made it easier to convince him.

But now I'm getting off topic to the thread...

Yeah you do that bro.

 

[IGBT]

so did the obama ever find who was responsible for the Benghazi attack?? Didn't he also say "they will be brought to justice". He's checked every golf course in the country and so far no Benghazi attackers. So do you think he's pursuing the Boston attackers with the same gusto??

 

[blankslate]

Yes, President Obama will personally go out hunting for the Benghazi attack planners just like previous Presidents led the attack in the two previous Gulf wars and in Afghanistan.

We have no idea what resources are being used to find those responsible. It's probably better that way, because if we knew then the people who planned the attack might know as well. Not exactly a good way to go about finding them.

He did bring the person responsible for 9/11 to justice.

Yeah you do that bro.

Does it hurt you inside that much to admit you were wrong on an internet forum? You specifically said the plot of Homeland does not involve "a terrorist whose relative was killed in a drone strike." Why was the Vice President the target? Because he ordered the drone strike.

You're hopeless. I'm done with you. Thread back to Boston.

 

[spidey07]

Already did earlier. The 2010 bomb attempt had one along with the fort hood one.

The details of the other arrests never mentioned species other than bomb making materials.

How much more would it take to convince the Islamic terrorist lovers that this bears a sickening resemblance to Islamic terror vs. right wing terror?
