This is still breaking.

Not much online atm, watching CNN and Fox for updates.

UPDATE: Two explosions reported at the finish line, there are casualties and from live news getting word on deaths.

UPDATE2: Another explosion at the JFK library.

This was a terrorist attack folks. Just got done with a press conference, other bombs were being disarmed if I heard right.

Wow fucked, twitter has some grim pictures

Fox just showed a guy with his legs blown off so yea this is very serious.

Could it be NK demonstrating their ability to smuggle their OTHER bomb even if they can't yet deliver it by ICBM?

Ugh, there are some gory photos already out there. Who would do something like this? It's a mad world we live in.

If only bombs were illegal things like this wouldn't happen

Since criminals are going to commit crimes why have laws to begin with??

 

[Texashiker]

No.

Holy hell, that is a blood bath.

Looks like one person on the ground is missing both legs.

If you make the tools they use to commit crimes illegal then crimes using those tools well cease.

Barack Obama told me so it must be true

CNN and Fox are both reporting early that from multiple sources that they are going with this being a terrorist attack.

 

[fskimospy]

This is proof that we need to ban guns.

If any crime ever happens that shows that all other efforts to reduce crime shouldn't happen.

Why bother saying this stupid shit?

 

[nehalem256]

I think you meant bombs.

Terrible.

 

[FerrelGeek]

OK, guys, can we stop the bickering please. Let's wait until we get some facts before the partisan hate flows, shall we? This is horrible . I lived up there for several years and went to the Marathon a few times, so this hits close. My heart goes out to the victims and their families.

Dont be dicks, this serious.

Does labeling as terrorist attack assume source?

It's Patriots Day. Anniversary of Ok City bombing and and of Waco.

 

[Doppel]

This sucks.

People buzz off with gun talk, take it elsewhere.

 

[werepossum]

Terrible, terrible thing, whether it's imported terrorists on homegrown "patriots".

 

[Jaskalas]

Ball bearings being reported.

 

[Texashiker]

Foxnews TV says ball bearings were in the explosives.

Whoever it is responsible, remove them from planet earth.

 

[nageov3t]

obviously my first thought goes to terrorism, but what are the odds this is just a gas line explosion or something?
