Are you that dense? There are probably multiple threats of some degree at every single event, big and small, accross the country. Is "the gubment" supposed to cancel everything? Warn everyone before every single event "hey, we've got about 30 random peices of evidence that point to that fact that something might happen, so...uh...be safe out there."
What exactly do you expect to be done differently? You conspiracy kooks are just funny 99.9% of the time, but that .1%, you're annoying. But only briefly.

I don't know about you but if there is a report about something like this I would want to know. Wouldn't you?

Islamic terrorism.

Homegrown groups/NK/etc just can't stoop to that level of depraved inhumanity that these monsters can. There are no lines or boundaries of decency, empathy or humanity they will not just cross, but leap all the way across.

Right because Oklahoma City was such a decent empathetic action.

Fucking idiot.

You're just another islamophobic asshat. Many Americans have done despicable things too. Are you saying the Oklahoma City bombing wasn't horrific in its inhumanity? Cause it was a white guy.

Again. Fucking idiot.

Even OK city bomber wanted to attack federal buildings with civilians as the secondary target.

From Wikipedia:

McVeigh initially intended only to destroy a federal building, but he later decided that his message would be better received if many people were killed in the bombing.[26] McVeigh's criterion for potential attack sites was that the target should house at least two of three federal law-enforcement agencies: the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), or the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). He regarded the presence of additional law-enforcement agencies, such as the Secret Service or the U.S. Marshals Service, as a bonus.[27]

It's a common MO of Islamic terrorists to target civilian populations and cause as much mayhem as possible.

I do find it interesting that newtown families were present at the finish line.
Not validating anything yet because its obviously too early to know, but I know the Sandy Hook Truthers have been harassing the sandy hook victims for awhile now....

So hating on islamic terrorists is now "islamophobic"? WTF is wrong with you?

God, you PC idiots are sickening.

This has all the hallmark of an Islamic terrorist attack.

All I said was that this attack has all the hallmark of islamic terrorism, not comparing terrorists.

The deliberate targeting of civilians to cause as much mayhem and murder as possible is something they have engaged in the recent past.

Suddenly I'm an islamophobe and a moron for saying that.

No your comment that no one else could stoop to such depraved inhumanity helps though. There are ample examples of depravity from domestic incidents.

It's been about five hours and there is nothing at all to suggest this is radical Islamists at this point. Could it be? Sure. It could also be a domestic nutcase.

Again. Fucking idiot.

"McVeigh, a resident of Kingman, Arizona, considered targets in Missouri, Arizona, Texas, and Arkansas.[27] McVeigh stated in his authorized biography that he wanted to minimize nongovernmental casualties, so he ruled out a 40-story government building in Little Rock, Arkansas, because of the presence of a florist's shop on the ground floor.[28] I"

Do you think Al Quaeda's motive was to reduce "non governmental casualities" when they bombed WTC with planefuls of people?

Your own fucking reference doesn't compute and I'm the fucking idiot.

Don't let your PC blind you from reality.

Look I admit that there's no evidence for my assertions.

I come from a country that's a frequent victim of Islamic terrorism.

And I had an angry, emotional reaction when I first heard of this news.

This sounds sickeningly similar to the MO of these terrorists.

If it's not, I'll freely admit I'm wrong.

Again, not asking for hate on muslims or islam, but the terrorist elements.

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere yet, but the timing of the event is sure close to Israel's Independence Day.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Ha%27atzmaut

Bombings happened at about 2:50 PM EST, or 11:50 PM in Israel. Their Independence Day began 10 minutes later at 3:00 PM EST. If the bombs went off 10 minutes later it would almost seem like a sure thing, or at least a solid excuse/diversion for the bombings, whatever the actual motive was.

Since it was 10 minutes before 3, maybe it's just a coincidence.

Edit: And the day of the attacks, April 15th in Israel, is Yom Hazikaron or "Day of Remembrance for the Fallen Soldiers of Israel and Victims of Terrorism"

Well I'd think it would be obvious it isn't any known Islamist group at this point. They'd be filling the air waves and dancing in the streets screaming "YEAH WE DUN IT! WE BAD! ALLAH HU AKBHAR MOTHERFUCKAS!" or some such equivalent.

So that leaves isolated nutjob, or, perhaps even somewhat frightening, an actual devoted, organized terror cell that doesn't care about publicity.

In any case, this was a highly sophisticated attack, and whomever's responsible should be publicly executed by firing squad.

I wouldn't be shocked if they find out its another 16-25 year old male looking to increase the score. I wouldn't be surprised if its an Islamic terrorist cell.

The target was innocent people with the goal of as much publicity as possible.

They are going to be able to nail it down based on the bomb itself I suspect.

You can make up lots of conspiracy stories. Trying to frame it on an ideology-driven basis only shows the speaker's ideological inclination at this stage.

Agreed, terrorists usually immediately claim responsibility.

Some probably will claim responsibility if they haven't already, but it doesn't necessarily mean they were actually involved. Lame attempts to get terrorist "street cred", basically. If they can actually provide details that only the bomber or his sponsors/trainers would know, they might get some serious consideration as suspects.
