    I was just about to post that.


    Is it me, or do those back packs look a little to light and empty to be carrying a pressure cooker filled with nails and ball bearings?

    One looks like it has something decent in it, the other looks pretty empty.

    Ironically the one that looks empty is just hanging off one shoulder.

    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.

    Why the bloodlust?
    Shouldn't they try to capture him first, then try to understand his motivations, so that we can prevent this types of tragedies?

    Perhaps if we apologized for giving them better opportunities here than they had in their previous locations, they might have not done these attacks. We will have to get Obama to apologize for our mistake of improving their lives.

    Backpacks, not pressure cookers. Have you ever tried to take a pressure cooker from an old Southern lady? She will hit you over the head with a wooden spoon. Don't try it.

    Before this goes off on some wild straw man argument, kinda like "they should ban bombs....oh wait", bombs and a lot of bomb making materials are already regulated/controlled.

    Pressure cookers, ball bearings, and nails are not. We must take action and ban these assault weapons. If one life can be saved, we have to try....

    So, you want to keep bomb-making materials legal, and restrict home defense weapons? You think that this is logical?

    You can't say that these materials are not being used for bomb-making designed to kill innocent people, as Boston is proof that they are.

    I'll tell ya what. Why don't we make a law making it illegal to take all these things and fashion them in such a way as to improvise an explosive device? Would that work?

    You mean, make it illegal AFTER they assemble them into a bomb? That doesn't seem very proactive to me. Proactive would be to prevent them from being able to assemble them into a bomb.

    You are simple minded. Bomb making materials are already controlled. You cannot make a bomb out of a pressure cooker and shrapnel alone.

    You can't say that these materials are not being used for bomb-making designed to kill innocent people, as Boston is proof that they are.
    So the guy that invented the pressure cooker, and the guy that invented the nail, and the guy that invented the ball bearing were sitting back in their own respective thinking chairs thinking "I need to come up with a way to make a crater in the earth. I GOT IT!..."

    Again. You CANNOT make a bomb out of a pressure cooker and these things alone.

    You've never seen a pressure cooker go off, obviously. It does not take much to create a small IED out of one. It doesn't take military equipment, or even illegal materials.

    Yes. It takes an illegal device to create what you saw in Boston. You cannot get this device without having a license for it, or fashioning your own.

    It's much easier to do than you think. You've never built a cannon before, obviously.
