Are you? Well how generous of you.

Yes, the line you are seeking to draw doesn't make sense, especially given your lack of information about why this target was chosen or who committed the bombing. Of course in hindsight you have perfect clarity on why other targets were chosen and who did it. You're not fucking Madame Zim, you just know how to read wikipedia.
He forgot the radical physical fitness terrorist that might have been responsible for this, show Michelle Obama they literally won't stand for her communist fitness agenda.

Clearly we should be looking for 500lbs+ suspects. The cheeto prints all over the bomb fragments will help get a match.

I don't see what is so crazy about using the target to indicate who might be behind it. Clearly if it was an abortion clinic we would have strong suspicions who it was. If it was a federal building, that might point towards a different crowd. From this target, its hard to see how picking the Boston Marathon has any political significance other than "will kill lots of people and get press" which points to possibly a different crowd.

Tax day, Newtown victims in crowd (Newtown being catalyst for gun control attempts), historic city where the tea party happened. Lots of political significance that you can contribute to a certain type of attacker with specific motivations. Of course we don't know but to say there's no potential politics involved is asinine.

I didn't say I know everything about this attack. It could be a violent religious group who believe runners all go to hell, or another group for reasons I don't know about yet. Or simply a madman. But chances for that are in my opinion lower since we actually have a rather prolific group of terrorists already who specialize in attacks very similar to this one. Occam's razor.

It's all speculative anyway. We have an illuminati believer on this forum. He could be right too.

It points to my #1 pick: loner idiot that spends lots of time on the internet. Similar MO as the last few school shooters and last weeks "not an hero." Unfortunately, there's the major difference that this one apparently covered his tracks. He'll probably be found dead somewhere clutching a manifesto.

I'm watching you people.

No. I did not bomb the people in Boston. Because, I'm sure someone will suggest it

That is the problem here, is there are way too many options. Fuck it could be a disgruntled Red Sox fan pissed over the last two seasons.

If its going to be about sports they could have at least had the common decency to focus on crippling Tom Brady.

It was also Patriot Day which is a big deal.

The picture I posted seems to be of the second bomb which I haven't seen many or any videos of. Could have been much smaller than the first one that they show all the time.

Big deal for Massachusetts. It's the anniversary of the battle of Lexington and Concord or something. They've been talking about it a lot so I should remember more...

This attack likely took months to plan.

This could very well have been intended to send former Massachusetts Governor, President Romney a message and individual/individuals just decided to keep going even after he lost the election.

What's so hard to understand, seriously? Terrorists who are against abortions go for abortion clinics. Terrorists who are against a certain faith go for the church of that faith. They usually don't go blow up random crowds of people. That's the calling card of AQ who choose those places so they can cause as much destruction as possible. AQ themselves claim this strategy is a very good one.

There, I'm done explaining simple shit to knuckle draggers.
People who hate running (and other kinds of fitness) attack marathons, people who hate markets (and the free market capitalism system) attack markets, people who hate ships blow up the USS Cole and people who hate diplomacy blow up embassies

Got it.

Hmmm, Boston...was Curt Schilling at this event? And do we have Utnayan's IP's logged?
