If it were a right wing extremist, it would be anyone who has a political motive for such an attack rooted in the disagreement in disestablishment or a progressive way of life and governance. This certainly describes the current administration, so we can conclude a right wing extremist, under our political barometer, would also include someone from Al Qaeda, or any kind of religious extremist, foreign or domestic.

The black one is sitting up to high to have 10+lbs of pressure cooker and shrapnel in it. I agree there is something there, but it looks to be too light for the bomb.

The white one could probably have thing large and heavy enough to be the bomb, but it just isnt hanging right and the guy walking with it doesnt seem to be leaning at all. I would expect it to show in his walk or posture if he had that much added weight on 1 shoulder.

1 dead, 1 on the run. Brothers from Chechnya via Kazakstan. The older one got into a shootout with LEOs and had explosives on him. The second one is believed to be in Watertown.

Not white domestic terrorists. They had lived here several years. The older one stated that he had no American friends, and went to Bunker Hill Community college here and studied engineering.
The FBI just said that they were 26 & 19. The older one was killed. They were Muslim. Motive has not yet been stated.

Watertown is on lockdown. All of Boston has been closed. This hasn't happened before in the US. No taxis, no flights, no buses, no subway, etc. Everyone is ordered to stay in the homes.

Reports are that they carjacked someone and identified themselves as the marathon bombers. Then one of them ran over the other brother with the car. These two are clearly inept and dangerous. Apparently, the shot and killed an MIT cop also.

Something just went off. Cops are rushing to one area. Reporters can smell smoke.

Sure. But there are a lot of people out there that are unable to separate the two issues. There is a problem with the act of killing. There is a problem with the ease of access to guns to people who shouldn't have them. The fact that people are going to kill each other with bats and knives and fists and forks and pressure cookers isnt a good reason why we can't address the ease of access of guns. I like having the right to defend myself if I need to. Filling out an extra piece of paper or doing an extra background check is a trivial inconvenience, and I hardly consider it an infringement on that right, if it means there's less ways for criminals and unstable people to get guns.

No. We can address these issues of non-weapon weapons separately, if we believe they're becoming a problem. If you believe a criminal shouldn't be able to possess a baseball bat or a fork, write your congressman, and lets get a discussion started!

What are "non-weapon weapons"?

Please explain how a baseball bat used to kill someone makes them "less dead" than an assault style weapon does?

I believe that the Congress has already stated their position on guns, so now we can focus on other deadly tools, right?

you realize a gun, in itself, doesnt kill people. You need a magazine, bullets. A gun, by itself, does nothing except leave a big bruise if you hit someone with it.

The nails and ball bearings were gas powered projectiles, similar to bullets.

A pressure cooker, doesnt kill anyone by itself either.A fully built bomb can't kill anyone by itself either. Like a gun, it needs a human to designate a target and tell it what to do. Like a gun, if you throw a pressure cooker bomb at someone, it will only leave a bruise.


A gun is designed to fire a projectile for protection or for sport. Its not designed to commit crimes with, never has been.A gun was designed to destroy a target. Nothing more. Nothing less. Everyone can agree with that.

Ok. So you meant improvised. Thought so, but wanted clarification.

I'm not sure if they still sell it publicly, but the US Army used to sell the Improvised Munitions Black Book. There is a section devoted to utilizing pressure cookers and similar. All items are readily available, and there are 3 volumes.

Read a little more about the actual investigation. They knew the names within a couple hours of receiving the videos because the big brother was already someone they had interest in. What they said in the presser about needing to know names and such was BS. They needed a clue as to where they were going next and about possible accomplices.

"I would not be willing to do a funeral for him," said Imam Talal Eid of the Islamic Institute of Boston, a community services organization that frequently arranges funeral prayers and burials in the region. "This is a person who deliberately killed people. There is no room for him as a Muslim. He already left the fold of Islam by doing that. In the Quran it says those who will kill innocent people, they will dwell in the hellfire."..

Just like every religious leader from the first Pope to the first year preacher, people use religion as a means to gaining personal power and/or wealth. Look at the Westboro Baptist Church, the preacher there has made millions off of his BS. Muslim Imams preach hate for America and because most of their constituency cannot read, they can manipulate the Koran into saying anything they want it to say.

We're talking about two different types of explosives and two different types of containment vessels, but personally I've never seen an M80 do anything more to a mailbox than blow it apart at the seams.

The blasts themselves really weren't that powerful. There's nothing about physics that says a blast like that would do anymore damage to a nylon bookbag than it did.

So the motive would be to gain ground on gun control legislation? The legislation had a good amount of congressional support and even more public support. And it's pretty obvious he really wanted it to pass. So it's not a big secret, and too obvious to be a conspiracy. And the legislation still failed. Too much risk for a less than optimal outcome.
