Yeah, there's not special about a pressure cooker bomb. It's essentially a big pipe bomb.
Look to the government to want to ban black powder now.

Hmm, the attempt for a higher death toll is what bothers me now (the ball bearings) as there is a strong possibility the bomber will try again, with a deadlier bomb this time around. The unorganized lot can be rather unpredictable.Report I saw said ball bearings were used. Doesn't seem like a well organized attempt though. Goes back to what I posted in an OT thread about "when will we have warp drive". I stated that we may not be around long enough to create one or the equivalent if possible because a smaller number of people are able to create more havoc as time moves on. Anyway, no matter who did this I hope we catch them.
I will admit that this is probably true but I also won't rule out other possibilities like domestic terrorists (Tim McVeigh types) at this point either.
Fact - Muslim terrorists routinely use a pressure cooker bombs all over the world and including US
Fact - these bombs were pressure cooker bombs
No speculation there, just facts and common sense that many are ignoring in an attempt to appear "unbiased", but it really shows how much bias you have when you ignore fact.
Those two facts don't mean that it was Muslim terrorists who carried out this act though.
Christ, even the President said, We still do not know who did this or why, and people shouldnt jump to conclusions before we have all the facts, Obama said Monday. But make no mistake: We will get to the bottom of this, and whoever is responsible will feel the full weight of justice.
You may be right, it may have been Muslim terrorists. But let's face it, you don't know that anymore than I know who did it.
You're the one frothing at the mouth to blame Muslims.

I do wonder how the ball bearings were organized in the bomb itself? Can tell us a little bit more about the suspect.

This is true, someone could have found this information via an internet search and decided they could potentially confuse investigators/get away with the bombing by using a method that has been used in this past by Muslim terrorists.
Rick Perry said no such thing... :sneaky:
I simply have a hard time figuring out the Muslim terrorist's motivation. Like, if an attack happened on 9/11, yeah, it's 99% likely Muslim. Or on the anniversary or some jihadi dude dying in a drone attack, or if the target is somehow connected to state power.
But the Boston marathon has no good reason to be attacked by a Muslim extremist when there are other more "deserving" targets and more relevant dates. I can think of good reasons why the militia types would want to attack, however.
WASHINGTON -- The explosives used in the deadly Boston Marathon bombing were contained in 6-liter pressure cookers and hidden in black duffel bags on the ground, a person briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
One of the explosives contained shards of metal and ball bearings, and another contained nails, the person said.

These types of pressure cooker explosives have been used in Afghanistan, India, Nepal and Pakistan, according to a July 2010 joint FBI and Homeland Security intelligence report. One of the three devices used in the May 2010 Times Square attempted bombing was a pressure cooker, the intelligence report said.
The Pakistani Taliban, which claimed responsibility for the 2010 attempt in Times Square, has denied any role in the Boston Marathon attack.
I'm basing my hunch and most likely scenario based on the facts.
I'm not saying it definitively was.
I'm saying all signs point to muslim terrorist as the same kind of bomb has been used extensively by muslim terrorists all over the world and in the US.
Make sense?
You have your hunch it's some tea party or right wing guy, based on zero indicators of such. I'm basing my hunch and most likely scenario based on the facts.
No , it s based on your racism...
The facts say nothing , it s like saying that if a guy
is killed in the US with a Kalashnikov , then it s either
an afghan....or a russian?..
Christ, even the President said, “We still do not know who did this or why, and people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we have all the facts,” Obama said Monday. “But make no mistake: We will get to the bottom of this,” and whoever is responsible “will feel the full weight of justice.”
Authorities say they are searching for a darker skinned or black male with a black backpack and black sweatshirt, possibly foreign national from the accent of the individual. Five minutes before the first explosion, officials said this person attempted to gain entry to a restricted area. When turned away, he broke eye contact and pulled his sweatshirt hood over his head and left, officials said.
Looks like it might of been a thug that went into deep cover.

It doesn't take a genius to see the most likely suspects given the facts.
