Watching CNN, now.

2 dead reported.

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...

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

Oh my, we're watching the coverage now. This is devastating......the Boston marathon! It seems like more and more horrible things are happening every day:( I really am praying for those who are there and who've been hurt....and I hope the catch whomever set those bombs off!

Kia Ora,

I hope Dev was not anywhere here there.

*worried now

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.

Terrorist attack!  And I am glad you are safe.

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.

Ethnic profiling...Let's hope not...

My thoughts and prayers with the victims,a despicable act by cowards

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
