    Well, it provides whatever ****wads did this the softest possible target with tons of people in a close area. How are you going to monitor what anyone throws in a trashcan during the Boston marathon?

    Al Qaeda doesn't sound right, unless they are growing incompetent given that this happens hours after the majority of marathon was done and fortunately most of the spectators/runners were gone. Obviously without knowing any details or even if it was intentional, this seems like it was timed more for effect than to maximize damage.

    NK is all talk. If you are mad at tax, you would do the IRS office right?

    Mandarin super swanky, just 1.5 blocks from the initial explosion. What a horror show this is.

    My initial guess would be some sicko like the Unabomber.

    Hope for the best for the people affected.

    Guy from the Boston CBS affiliate just said he saw 2 people with his own eyes that he's convinced were killed.

    Not sure if this is 100% accurate or not but this guy was apparently at the marathon.

    Foxnews stating at least 3 dead. To have that much blood on the sidewalks is numbing.
