Holy schnell...

And they're still finding 'devices.' WHY, WORLD?

I was just reading about this .  I hope everybody injured has speedy recoveries, and that the police find whoever was behind it!

This is so sad.  I know someone who is running in that race..I hope she is ok...

[Devlyn]

Holly, I think it was spectators that were killed. The explosions were on the sidewalk.

I hope Dev was not anywhere here there.

*worried now

[Devlyn]

I'm at my house, closest I've been to Boston today was fifteen miles. You have to wonder why someone chooses a target like this.

[Ms. OBrien CVT]

Terrorist attack!  And I am glad you are safe.

[Devlyn]

My boss told me about it, I thought he was pulling my leg at first.

Kia Ora,

Patriots Day...Domestic terrorism perhaps?

Perhaps. http://m.dailykos.com/story/2010/04/19/858615/-the-violence-of-Patriots-Day

I don't think that's likely. The only person the cops have apprehended (not charged) is a Saudi national, and the record of purported "right wing extremist" incidents that turned out to be right-wing in origin or belief is not exactly burgeoning.

I'm saddened by some of the comments on the news sites.  I think some people Americans are too quick to blame either Obama, Muslims, the Tea Party or anybody else
