This was an amateur attack. Just stupid ass angry people. This was made with materials anyone can get their hands on legally.

Have they ruled out the possibility of a disgruntled white father with a black son-in-law?

I knew the NY Post was pretty tabloid like and run by News Corp. But this is incendiary. Imagine "Rape suspect -- black male -- in custody" and not knowing the suspect's actual race.

Well they are finding multiple explosive devices that did not detonate. And this was the time when people were actually crossing the finish line. So I don't think not wanting a body count, is accurate.

Documenting it is important as well. If we wasn't a doctor I don't know how much help he was going to be.

Here's another douche to go please.

Need to be a doctor to get a fence the **** out of the way so first responders can get to the spectators?

From what I heard, this is the heavier part of the day, when thousands of amateur runners are coming across the finish line. Also, the second bomb went off further back on the route...which to me indicates that they wanted to get people who were running away from the first bomb.

bastards...

lol, my bad

Amazing we made it this far into the thread with no troll activity. phew.....

It's not shut down, just slammed to hell and back.

That's true the later runners are coming in.

Long gone from thread.

What are the chances it went off at 4 hours 9 minutes 11 seconds?

Public execution to this asshole please.

And you still have doubts?
:rolleyes:

You're reading something into my posts that did not exist.

:tinfoil:

Damn. Could have been worse but damn.

Wow, you're ****in stupid. ROFLROFLROFL

Boston PD guarding a wounded man at hospital as a possible suspect.

:facepalm:

Use your words.

I heard lazlo say it was around the 4 hour 9 min mark

4:09:11 would be symbolic to terrorist aholes

Your not worth my time.

It's no coincidence that its on Patriots day.

I was thinking perhaps trying to obtain C4 or high grade explosives is how many of these plots have been busted...so they go lower tech...not as many deaths, but getting world wide exposure just the same.

Saudi national supposedly

First bomb went off at the 4:09:44 mark.

Not true, nor is any "suspect in custody" report so far.

Oooh, I will look into that.

p.s.

I really love Boston. This is such a shitty thing. :(

Yea, you probably have some made up news to read.

Thanks for the info

The saudi in custody turned out to be false. But they are now again saying someone is in custody. But who knows if it's for the attacks themselves.

Whoever it is, I say we name that person Douche of the year.....

You don't say?

Ban marathons

Thats how you respond? ROFL


You proved my point. Thank you.

My heartfelt prayers go to the victims. But I will not post a ton of pics people have already made for "Boston" on facebook because I think that's more people saying "oh, look at me, see how much I CARE!?", than anything else. Especially when none of their friends on Facebook are in Boston.

Your point? You use emoticons.

We know you are not smart enough to have a thought and articulate. Just run off and let Drudge tell you what to think...

We will be here.

I said it because TribalElder thought it was true.

Bracket buster

O believe me, dude, I am more the capable of articulating my thoughts. I just choose not to do so with the likes of you.

Go ahead. Come back with some pathetic response.

Yea?

I have no dog in this and I don't know either of you, but your response was pretty weak, man.

I'll say again.

You.
Are.
Not.
Worth.
My.
Time.

How long until someone from North Korea or Iran gets blamed for it?

Over/Under?

Tell me more.

Some of you are ****ing pathetic. You deserve whatever bullshit happens in your life.

Would you two please stop it.

Perhaps.

Name some names bro! ;)

4 x 11 = 44!!! Somehow this fits!!

Im surprised you found a soapbox that could support you

I would guess long enough to ascertain whether or not either were actually involved. I would speculate that this was home-brewed, though.

[/B]

Been thinking this since it happened.

This.

Probably a tax evasion scheme, or to buy some time.

To us on the side, refusing to explain yourself and just using emoticons and laughing makes you look dumb.

Don't you have the power to boot the assholes out of the thread?

Pretty damn amateurish bombs for state sponsorship.

I agree. And for me to say something that speaks a lot.

How the Boston PD Could Examine the Videos From the Bombing
Forensic video analysis remains a time-consuming, human task.

http://www.theatlantic.com/technolog...ombing/275008/

As investigators try to figure out what happened today during the bombings at the Boston Marathon, they'll turn to video taken at the scene of the explosions.

In addition to any closed-circuit television cameras lining Boylston Street and its surroundings, The Bureau Chief of Public Information, Cheryl Fiandaca, called for members of the public to send in video from near the finish line.

Once the police have the prospective evidence in hand, they'll need to run forensic analysis on it. What we know from recent years is that the amount of evidence can be staggering large. For example, the Vancouver riot in early 2011 brought 1,600 hours of video streaming into that city's police department. Just to watch all that video through one time is a substantial task, let alone examining it closely or trying to find events or people of interest.

Right now, there is no video software that can do this type of analysis, not even in a first-pass way. IARPA (DARPA for the intelligence services) put out a call for proposals in 2010 for this kind of "Automated Low-level Analysis and Description of Diverse Intelligence Video." It described, in brief, the problem that investigators (or intelligence analysts) face:

Massive numbers of video clips are generated daily on many types of consumer electronics and uploaded to the internet. In contrast to videos that are produced for broadcast or from planned surveillance, the "unconstrained" video clips produced by anyone who has a digital camera present a significant challenge for manual as well as automated analysis.

So, at the moment, human investigators must watch and code each and every second of the video that they collect. While the Boston police may have the resources they need, chances are that they're going to be swamped with video from the scene, given the number of spectators and the prevalence of cameras. This is the future we live in: Major events are photographed and recorded by hundreds of people.

Until we know more about the bombings, we don't know under whose jurisdiction the investigation will come. The Federal Bureau of Investigation analyzes video within its Operatonal Technology Divison, inside the Digital Evidence Laboratory by the Forensic Audio, Video, and Image Analysis Unit (FAVIAU). In 2010, that unit had just 26 agents.

If Federal or local police do need help, they could reach out to Digital Media Evidence Processing Lab at the University of Indianapolis, which is run by the Law Enforcement and Emergency Services Video Association.

The lab has 20 video workstations running Ocean Systems dTective forensic video software. It's set up for training police in video forensics, but has been envisioned as a place that could serve as a headquarters for emergencies like the one in Boston.

After the Vancouver riots, police in that city brought the video they received from citizens to the lab. "Working around-the-clock shifts, analysts and technicians examined more than 5,000 hours of video while tagging more than 15,000 criminal events and individuals," trade journal Evidence Magazine wrote in 2012. "The approach proved quite powerful. Whereas investigators required four months to process just 100 hours of video after the riots in 1994, the thousands of hours of video recorded in 2011 were processed and initially tagged in just two weeks."

This will become the sad new ritual of mourning a tragedy: sending and processing the horrific memories of an event in hopes of finding evidence to bring criminals to justice.

Eh, I could see it being a North Korean missile attack.

One of the fatalities was an 8 yr old child. :(

They actually timed the bomb when the highest frequency of runners were coming across the line. Also maybe security is much tighter when the leaders are finishing.

I don't get the bickering. We just lost some innocent people due to what appears to be a terrorist attack. What's the point with all this back and forth right now? I'm mean, seriously?

Wow that sucks badly.....Well should be easier to make this a public execution.

Who's reporting that?

That sucks. It sucks that anyone died though.

Look at who it's coming from.

yeah, these bombs seem far too weak to even be a from a real, legit terrorist group, much less a state. I would have expected a McVeigh-sized explosion.

This is probably going to end up being a domestic nut.

You have more faith than I do.

Per CNN

Yeah, probably some jackass with a beef with the IRS seeing it happened on tax day.

Ahh, I've been watching some Fox local Boston stream. They haven't talked about any of the victims or suspects at all.

God Damnit.

If this is true who ever is behind this didn't do that good of a job. Am glad this wasn't worse than it was.
