My Wifemjust red a news blurb on it to me, too. Really odd that all this BS is happening of late. Is the incidence rate increasing or is it jut being reported more in the media to be an agenda push?

Saudi national in custody at the hospital with shrapnel wounds. BPD told hospitals to look out for a yellow Penske truck claiming to be delivering OR supplies.

Actually, I just saw a tweet blaming the GOP (big surprise) for the attack. Never let a tragedy go to waste.
explosion is a reminder that ATF needs a director. Shame on Senate Republicans for blocking apptment http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013 ... nd-furious

Mr. Alex Jones can we please let the dust settle before we make accusations just yet. I am fully prepared to believe that there may be people within my gov't that would kill their own. but lets stop the bleeding of those who lost limbs before we make accusations

They were banished from Massholistan years ago.

In any event, this is why we must ban marathons.

I wait for facts before developing firm opinions, but I detect a whiff of halal cooking and camel dung behind this one.

There is nothing he can say that would make me feel better and much he could say that would make me want to throw stuff at the screen. I'll pass.

The AP is reporting that family members from Sandy Hook were in attendance. No word on whether any sustained injuries.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/ ... 5-18-21-47
The Boston Marathon honored the victims of the Newtown, Conn., shooting with a special mile marker in Monday's race.

Boston Athletic Association president Joanne Flaminio previously said there was "special significance" to the fact that the race is 26.2 miles long and 26 people died at Sandy Hook Elementary school.
