Explosion at Boston Marathon finish line (Copley)[views:61521][posts:158]_________________________________________ [Apr 16,2013 5:25pm - conservationist ""] Some news sources are reporting that these were pressure cooker bombs placed in backpacks at street level. Thus it seems like the answer is that the explosives themselves were not actually that powerful, because these bombs are more powerful versions of the coke bottle bombs we made as kids. So the blast was probably most intense where channeled by the pavement. That would be at about ankle level as the explosion traveled outward and upward from the pressure bombs. However, this explains why these people look so much in shock, in addition to the usual reasons. They're concussed. What a mess. It's so easy for someone to do something like this, and so devastating in consequence. You're in our thoughts, Boston. Hang in there... |

Also, it helps to break up the mood of misery and hatred that is forming. We don't want to rush off to war again and the first step in that is breaking up our sense of national outrage. We should handle this situation logically, like all others. |

The only thing in your thoughts is how you can use this latest event to eventually spam us with more of your anti-liberal, anti-multiculturalist, anti-whatever white power nonsense. And if the perp turns out to be a lone-wolf Anders Breivik type, who chances are you'd probably know from your beloved wp sites, then you'll be telling us all how they were hired by the liberals. Fuck you, Texas cocksucker. You may spark some good discussions here sometimes, but don't think for a second that anyone believes you actually care about anything except your own fucked up agenda. |

This seems really off to me, like it's a diversion. Leak news that someone's been arrested and that they're being taken to the courthouse? Obviously that sets off a gawker and media rush to that location. Next call in a threat? Our attention is being diverted towards the courthouse, and away from somewhere else. |
