Fine, but I'm just pointing out that this bombing is more in line with domestic terrorism than Islamic.
Did I say there wasn't? No

It's OK for people not to be 100% on top of current events, but for goodness sake, if you don't know anything then don't throw your half-baked assertions out there as if they were certain. My lip is bleeding from biting it to keep from jumping into the discussions.
This is so much like the 1996 Atlanta bombing that I think it's most likely a militia type mad about gun control legislation.
Really? And the connection between the Boston Marathon and gun control is? Oh that's right, there is none. This is as bad as those saying it's a government false flag operation.
so where was Bill Ayers when this occurred and what was he doing in the days leading up to this??
He writes that he participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, the Pentagon in 1972. But Mr. Ayers also seems to want to have it both ways, taking responsibility for daring acts in his youth, then deflecting it.
..how many bomb makers has Ayers trained over the decades??

Further information: Weather Underground (organization)
Ayers became involved in the New Left and the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).[10] He rose to national prominence as an SDS leader in 1968 and 1969. As head of an SDS regional group, the "Jesse James Gang," Ayers made decisive contributions to the Weatherman orientation toward militancy.
The group Ayers headed in Detroit, Michigan became one of the earliest gatherings of what became the Weatherman. Before the June 1969 SDS convention, Ayers became a prominent leader of the group, which arose as a result of a schism in SDS.[8] "During that time his infatuation with street fighting grew and he developed a language of confrontational militancy that became more and more pronounced over the year [1969]", disaffected former Weatherman member Cathy Wilkerson wrote in 2001. Ayers had previously been a roommate of Terry Robbins, a fellow militant who was killed in 1970 along with Ayers' girlfriend Oughton and one other member in the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, while constructing anti-personnel bombs intended for a non-commissioned officer dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.[11]
In June 1969, the Weatherman took control of the SDS at its national convention, where Ayers was elected Education Secretary.[8] Later in 1969, Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket affair confrontation between labor supporters and the Chicago police.[12] The blast broke almost 100 windows and blew pieces of the statue onto the nearby Kennedy Expressway.[13] (The statue was rebuilt and unveiled on May 4, 1970, and blown up again by other Weathermen on October 6, 1970.[13][14] Rebuilding it yet again, the city posted a 24-hour police guard to prevent another blast, and in January 1972 it was moved to Chicago police headquarters).[15]
Ayers participated in the Days of Rage riot in Chicago in October 1969, and in December was at the "War Council" meeting in Flint, Michigan. Two major decisions came out of the "War Council." The first was to immediately begin a violent, armed struggle (e.g., bombings and armed robberies) against the state without attempting to organize or mobilize a broad swath of the public. The second was to create underground collectives in major cities throughout the country.[16] Larry Grathwohl, a Federal Bureau of Investigation informant in the Weatherman group from the fall of 1969 to the spring of 1970, stated that "Ayers, along with Bernardine Dohrn, probably had the most authority within the Weatherman".[17]
1969 was over 40 years ago.
Relation:
1. Final mile dedicated to Newtown.
2. Newtown families at finish line, near bomb.
3. Newtown families lobbying Congress for passage of gun background check bill.
and so I'm willing to bet that the bomber made the calculation that a bomb would take away attention from gun control, reducing its chances of passage.

he's still a terrorist. the only reason he's held in high esteem by liberals is because he advances the leftist liberal agenda.

...by targeting the one thing that could bring the discussion back to gun control?
Sorry, you're acting like a nut-job.
I have a problem with anyone drawing conclusions when no facts exist because their prejudices make them. There is no evidence at all to support the assertion. And my issue was with the characterization that only Islamists display depraved inhumanity so it must be them. Rudolph, McVeigh, Newtown, Aurora... The list goes on and the one thing they all share is depraved inhumanity.
You might want to call that PC. Most sane people would call that not jumping to wild conclusions without a shred of proof.
That was Eric Rudolph and it was a cowardly act and now he is serving life in prison. These types of bombs are more associated with radical Islamists.
You seem to have a problem with that poster pointing out how radical Islamists commit these style of bombings.
PC much?
What utter hypocrisy. If a Muslim does it then it doesn't represent all Muslims but if one Conservative says something then you want to stereotype them all.
I actually hold him in very low esteem and I wish that he were homeless, not a tenured faculty member.
But the facts are the facts. He has not been involved in violence since his Weather Underground days.
Let's summarize:
1. You concede (by default) that contrary to your flaming bigotry, shrapnel bombing is NOT a tactic mostly limited to Muslims.
2. You concede you are a malignant puss pocket.
3. You concede you are an epic idiot.
4. You take issue with me assuming other purported conservatives are also wrong-headed, bigoted, malignant puss pockets of stupidity.
Good, since we agree on the first three points, let me help with the fourth. I do not assume at all that all conservatives are so damaged as you. On the contrary, I recently stated in another thread that such defectives, though prominent here, are not representative of the broad conservative base at all. Unfortunately, many people are not so perceptive. They see you drowning thread after thread in bigoted, ignorant noise and assume you speak for all conservatives. That is neither fair nor accurate. There are many intelligent, well-reasoned conservatives. Just not you.
So, rest assured that we are on the same side on this issue. I also want to spread the word that not all conservatives are as useless as you. You are you own special little cesspool of stupid.
You are a moron. I have stated that it's possible it could be a white guy and I also said that these type of bombs with shrapnel are more associated with radical Islamists. I was attacking the PC/leftists.
But hey keep acting like a tough guy behind your computer.
I'll be damned, you actually made a valid point!! It even had the word "Muslim" in the post which increased my shock at least ten fold. Bravo my friend, I am proud of you!
Thank You But I have been making this point for a long time though.

I guess it depends on how many bullshit false alarms and bullshit reports they typically get. If there are an average of 25 potential threats to the Superbowl every year what good would it do? We would just get numb to the reports since 99.999% of the time nothing happens.
If they had something that was actually credible and failed to act or warn, thats a different discussion.
