I think so too. Seems like it was carried out by one guy, maybe two or three at most, but it’s a bit badly organised and as it’s both Patriot day and tax day it seems like it’d be domestic.
It certainly doesn’t have the signs of any major organisation.
96 countries took part and were affected in the marathon, it wasn’t an attack on Boston it was an attack on the world, when your praying or sparing a thought for these people. Spare a thought for the people dieing everyday in Pakistan, Syria, Iraq, Palestine and all the other countries being bombed frequently.
We live in a dark world.

I reckon so mate, looks like there’s another Timmy McVeigh on the loose! Hope no-one you know’s been affected by it, all the best.

Thank you G-Tek, my uncle was running but thankfully he’s okay

No worries dude, glad to hear your Uncle was unharmed.
Boston marathon explosion: two dead, at least another 77 injured. All hell breaks loose.
Series of early morning explosions across cities in Iraq: 50 dead and nearly 300 wounded. Only a portion of people care or even know about it.
US bombs Afghan wedding: at least 30 killed and a total of at least 120 killed or wounded. Not much attention given here, eh?
Apparently two US lives are more important than 50 Iraqi and/or 30 Afghani lives. Then even though there is nothing to suggest middle eastern terrorist groups have been involved, the mass media uses this as a tool to help pit Americans against the Middle East and create further nationalism through hatred.

Bin Laden paid the US army to invade Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan etc. so that they would feel sorry for them and give Palestine back to the Palestinians and incorporate Sharia law in all Arab countries
Wow. I thought I was nutty. Bin Laden paid for DEAD Americans. What’s the point in paying the US Army if you’re also paying the people shooting at them and blowing them up?
Quite frankly they get paid wherever they are, so I don’t see Osama’s Bin Laden fortune making much headway.

I was joking mate – I don’t really believe that, that would be silly..
Given choice of target (media event, not political) looks like somebody looking to make a splash in the news by splashing blood on the pavement.
Yeah, could be “Jihadi”, but could also have been other nutjobs.

THAT’S the kind of knowledge and things you should be learning and doing at your age (researching)
Join the minority in knowing global problems, I’m glad you listen to lowkey too! Very wise and knowledgeable man
The best way to control a country is to exaggerate a threat, then protect your people from it.
This is Christmas come early for the government.

Although the BBC is staying clear of speculation and doing a good job of reporting, 6 people died in my region this week (the 5 in Lowestoft + another suicide off Orwell Bridge in Ipswich), there is evidence mounting that the constant financial and emotional pressure put on families in low income areas may have had some effect and yet that report is pushed below the events in a foreign country.

Many more occurrences being hidden, they don’t want us to see these deaths and we won’t unless we are widely aware, I saw put all major bankers in prison and give the money to the government, hold a PUBLIC election, how stupid do people have to be to think their vote is counted for in a PRIVATE voting system, to get a new government.
It’s pretty weird that every time something ‘bad’ happens in America, it is usually when they do something bad themselves so that they can sweep it under the rug. I mean bombing a wedding filled with innocent people is pretty cuntish, but how many Americans know that that even happened?
As for the deaths in East Anglia, I wouldn’t have even known that they had died had you not reported it here on PV..
