I am pissed. I am doubtful. I am concerned. I am sad.
But I do not fear. I am not afraid.
I do not need to surrender my rights to feel safe.
The guilty will, sooner or later, be held for their actions.
I am patient.

Well, it's good that you don't fall for it.
I truly hope most react as you do, before we have a witch hunt in our hands...

It is a really strange photo.

Cell phone services shut down in Boston as well. They're taking a lot of precautions.

If investigators believe these were set off by cell phones, then why would a Saudi who was injured be a suspect? Couldn't they be set off from anywhere on the globe then? I'm thinking of a cell-to-cell setup, one on the bomb and then the individual(s) responsible. I don't know anything about explosives or detonators, though, would that work that way?

Not that I really care...but is GLP down for anyone else as well???..Just trying to get some headlines and the page will not load...been trying for about ten minutes now.

probably too late but I found a police scanner link

Hey all

I'm in Memphis TN....this morning, I received a text alert from the school stating that one of the buildings were cleared out and shut down due to containing a suspicious package...a classmate of mine stated that he saw it on the local news at first.....

It's most likely to stop the bombers from communicating rather than preventing remote detonations.

Obviously fake, wheelchair clean ( no blood ), no blood trail, and I imagine his face/clothes would be splashed with tissue and such.

Saudi suspect could just be a innocent bystander that was hurt in the explosion. I wouldn't be so quick to make a judgement just because of his nationallity.

True, pretty crappy terrorist to get caught in own blast if not a suicide bomber... I'm not so ready to jump on this bandwagon, as this has the earmarks of domestic, not foreign terrorism.

Are you being serious?

Thank you, what about N.K's satelite going over the U.S? Any possibility that the satelite and not cell phones set those bombs off? What if a N.K is using that satelite to get phone coverage?

Again, thinkin out loud~

Please advise.

Say its a 50/50 bet at this point.

Recent feeds are correcting it as another explosion....guess we'll know soon enough.

No I don't think it was fake, looks real to me.

Remember he was not in a chair when he got popped, and a turnkey would of been put on almost immediately.
