I'm surprised WMD is even a legal term, much less defined as 'explosive device'. Weapon and Destruction are redundant and mass isn't an indicator of anything.

Just goes to show how idiotic and stupid our legal system is.

are they fucking for real with "use of weapon of mass destruction"?
That seems like a giant misstep.

Well if you place a bomb where 2000 people are gathered shoulder to shoulder wouldn't that be considered "mass destruction"?

Not if it only kills a few people.

If you asked me a week ago what the death count would be from a WMD detonated in a mass of 2000 people I'd guess around 2000 people.

You do realize that IEDs are very terrible weapons in terms of actual death and destruction, right? They would of killed more people if they tried running them over with cars or just randomly fired into the crowd with a gun.

At the same time your arguing that it's not mass destruction because the bombs were not that effective. I'm no lawyer but I would argue intent here.

I guess he is correct. Boston's economic output is pretty awesome for the size of the city.

Even Philly has a larger GDP. The only thing that Boston could hope to place 2nd in is DUIs

Nah, I lived in Chicago during the six championships. Those championships happened during my preteen and teenage years. I remember every playoff fadeaway and dunk.

Except it wasn't the IED's that shut anything down. Only a few blocks were shut down, after the marathon. The city was shut down for a man hunt.
