ChiefsPlanet - News Bomb Exploded at Boston Marathon Finish Line

Here is a link to a CNN article debunking 5 untrue stories about the bombing that have already gone viral.

Were 4/5 of them started by CNN? Seriously I can't believe anything any of these so called news outlets come out with, particularly in a circus like this. They just pull something out of their ass, throw it at the wall and see if it sticks.

Chicago Tribune reporting 2 suspects now:

In the story they say one of the men is seen in pictures without a backpack after being seen in pictures earlier with a backpack. Maybe these 2?:

Among the many gripping images to emerge from the bombing's aftermath was one of a man in a red shirt, kneeling on the ground cradling a woman in his arms. It went viral -- with a heartbreaking, but fake, story attached.

"The man in the red shirt planned to propose to his girlfriend as he crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon, but she passed away" it reads. "Most of us will never experience this amount of emotional pain."

He's wearing jeans, FFS. Do people really fall for this stuff?

IIRC, they said he was wearing his hat backwards.

Just caught a minute of Hannity. Apparantly the FBI are handing out pictures of the 2 suspects to law enforcement. Hannity said one of the suspects has a black backpack with a bulge in the middle. That would be the guy I posted above. Don't know if they did it, but they're suspects now.

I could definitely see there being a pressure cooker in that backpack. Even that one flap is kinda sticking up in the middle where the handle would be.

And he definitely doesn't have the backpack in the second pic...

This is the most convincing thing I've seen thus far.. Holy shit.

Warning: second photo slightly graphic (though not too bad).

Spoiler!

Yeah but that image won't last long, as soon as the thread dies it's gone. Might want to upload somewhere else.
