    No need for personal attacks he just asked a question and stopped at that.

    Horrible. I lived in Boston for awhile... such a great city to spend time in. My heart goes out to those impacted by this.

    CNN is very careful not to call this a "bombing" yet, but I'm not sure why when they're reporting the bomb squad has set off other devices. Maybe I'm misunderstanding.

    Don't understand either, even Biden was quoted as saying "bombing" in his wording about this from what I understand.

    I am watching it on the news right now. Terrible...

    When I lived in Boston I lived on the Marathon route not too far from there and ran half of the Marathon. Very disturbing seeing familiar sites blasted.

    Just heard on the news saying the Boston Police have detonated another device and they are looking for another.

    Could it be related with gun control stuff?

    homemade bombs
    no political target.
    lots of unguarded cops.
    lots of reporters.
