    Horrible. I keep reading they have found more bombs, planes from Boston are grounded, heightened security in other cities.

    I wonder who it was, I place bets on some psycho US group.

    Looks like the Saudi in custody may not be the one. Someone tackled him because he looked "suspicious and ran away from the explosions."

    Durrr really?!

    Already loads of conspiracy theories out there, pathetic.

    I have the feeling that this is a domestic attack group that's responsible.

    By nature, terrorism is usually foreign in origin. Foreign means anything, european, Middle Eastern, etc.

    But i would not put it outside some type of Domestic terrorist either.

    The story has changed so much I wouldn't be surprised if they are omitting/changing info to fit needs/agenda, but I have a hard time believing that the fed or local gov't ( even though its full of shit bags from both sides of the fence) was involved in the act.

    I agree the government exploits things for their own agenda, but what can be used with this? Honest question, I'm sure there's things I didn't think of.

    As for the whole blaming thing, why blame someone? I've already seen loads of racist BS indicating someone from the Middle East did it, it's embarrassing. If someone DID do it of Middle Eastern decent, then be mad at THAT person, not Muslims or anyone from the Middle East in general.

    CNN is reporting that a lid to a pressure cooker used in the attack was found on a roof above the site.

    I think we should also add someone saying right wing extremist as a possibility makes sense considering they have the strongest past in recent plots. I still don't think pointing fingers or guessing should be done though.

    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.

    That being said, I'm not pointing fingers til someone is caught and tried.

    "right wing extremist" is the term often labeled to republicans who are defending their 2nd amendment rights, or.... "clinging to their guns and religion" as Biden would say.

    I'm not guessing. I'm simply explaining that right wing extremist is not limited to someone who hates Obama.
