BREAKING:Explosion At Boston Marathon

I just happened to see this thread, credit to the OP, and turned on the news feeds to see what's going on. My heart goes out to those involved and I hope the people make it through.

Also, I am sickened by the MSM coverage of this! This is a tragic event and they are attacking this feverishly to drain every little ounce of story and drama out of this.

Sad day indeed.....

ETA: I hope we ATS'ers can discuss this topic in a better fashion than what occurred with Sandy Hook.

Its not on the site, they said it on tv.

I think we should have drones patrolling at all times to prevent things like this happening?

anyone?

Bad news and appallying. My gut feeling this is the work of North Korean sleeper cells. We shall see. My condolences to those who have died and whose families are now grieving.

What? You need to stop watching so much TV, seriously. When have North Korea ever used terrorist cells? When? Ever? Asinine statement.

Interesting to follow the discussion here as it swings from "why don't the goverment do anything" to "police state and martial law"...

Security and freedom...the old dilemma. More or less of what do you want?

Airspace restricted only over the location (3 nautical miles radious, 3000ft above).

Bombs confirmed so it is no accident, btw.

Sorry I should have added "foreign" terrorist attacks

I'm going to go out on a limb and say domestic terror.

If true - dumbasses. This is why we can't have nice things anymore.

I swear, I'm sick of reading tough talk, revolutionary rhetoric on line. It breeds crazy like this and accomplishes exactly nothing but tragedy.

You cautioned one person earlier to not jump to conclusions.........

I suggest you do the same.......

I know its easy to speculate.......but we know NOTHING right now, and thats dangerous ground to tread right now......

You know better bud.....use that massive noggin of yours to keep your thoughts clear big dog

This is a horrible development. God bless the dead and injured.
History tells us that this will be used to further an agenda. Which particular one? We will have to wait and see.
I have a terrible feeling about this in terms of the implications moving forward.

Hello everyone.. I can't add much as I'm at the college with monitors helping others watch this but to help a little I have a couple sites for those who don't know them and it may help keep up on what is happening.

My thoughts and prayers are with those in Boston. Lets all hope this is the end and nothing more comes. Watch D.C. and NYC as things are moving there but nothing I've heard or seen yet for action.

You joined here 7 days ago, thanks but no thanks why dont you get more information before you start delivering DHS Army War College talking points?

It's my opinion, and I'll speak my opinion without permission from over sensitive individuals thanks

Domestic terrorism indeed. JFK library reminds me of a quote from the man,

"Those who would make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable."

Maybe that was the point of the JFK library bomb but absolute pure conjecture. Just usually seems that those with the perverse psyche to do such things tend to those kind of selections for a deliberate reason or "message".

Horrible, horrible, horrible.

a thought...so, now will this lead to more security measure in public areas? even during non events? more random searches, or random searches being conducted all the time? anybody carrying a backpack, or briefcase or large purse or bike messenger bags, or grocery sacks..can be subject to searches at anytime..you know, for your saftey....

just wait...'never let a crisis go to waste'

Confirmed: Explosion at JFK Library..

Homegrown as per: www.abovetopsecret.com...

Boston - tea party - taxation - revolution - rebellion against government - Newtown - in honour of Newtown - families there - etc

What do you know...

What's not yet being reported by the mainstream media is that a "controlled explosion" was under way on the same day as the marathon explosion.

As the Boston Globe tweeted today, "Officials: There will be a controlled explosion opposite the library within one minute as part of bomb squad activities."

Keep in mind I am in no way blaming the FBI for this. Most men and women who work with the FBI are upstanding citizens who would be appalled at such acts. But it is theoretically possible that one of the FBI's many "terror plots" went too far and turned into a live bomb instead of a dud followed by an arrest for "domestic terrorism."

It's really sad to hear so many have been hurt...I blame the President for being such a crappy leader.

Much more information than Fox. 12 dead according to nypost. Sad

EDIT: There is some NSFW content on their page, though. The gif at the bottom is especially bad. Watch the guy running in the middle.

Everyone please read this and go watch this video CNN posted below. This is seriously strange.

In this video you can see some bizzare image manipulation or artifacts.

Go to the link below and go to the 1:14 video mark and watch behind the van, the people, and even the officer walking with a dog on the left.

CNN VIDEO

I NEED HELP DOWNLOADING THE VIDEO! Does anyone know how to save this specific video somewhere for later viewing?

open ATS with realplayer and download

Why isn't Obama saying anything...?

Yes and no, as long as they use it for "terrorist" reasons and not for the little things like drug deals, jay walking, spying. The only problem i really have with drones is that i think they can easily be hacked.

Also fox confirms that a explosion has happened at JFK library.

Horrible, horrible, horrible.

Or just maybe they targeted it because they assumed there would be tons of people there.........

Usually they target large concentrated groups...........it only makes sense........
