The Boston fire department will have a press conference shortly.

As of right now there are 30 people injured .

First thing I hear when I get home

I hope no one else dies and the injuries on the survivors are minor. Though talk of severed limbs does not leave much hope for that. Such is the world we live in, I wonder who did it. Considering there were apparently several bombs I imagine it had to be more organized than just one lone nut, but you never know.

[Kingshango]

Just awful. People wanna just go out and enjoy themselves then stuff like this happens. 

[Lelygax]

Some rumors say that its Kim Jong doing.

[Gunlord]

Aw, man...do we have anyone from CVD who was attending the marathon?

[Ratty]

Some rumors say that its Kim Jong doing.

Nah, if he had the balls to do anything it would have been more strategic.

[Lelygax]

Nah, if he had the balls to do anything it would have been more strategic.

We're talking about the guy that said "Hey, I will nuke you". That proves that he's not one of the best strategists.

But yeah, there is no proof that he did it.

N.Y. Post reported 12 dead earlier, way to try and get the scoop on everyone and report that number erroneously.

This seems to me to be more fanatics riding the ever popular "Terrorist train". They refuse to get off because of the thrill it gives them. Personally I'd like to see how thrilled they are when they're doing time in a Federal "Ass-pounding" prison, if you catch the meaning. Expose any would-be terrorist to a sex-starved male inmate who's got a serious sweet tooth and we'll see how quickly they change their tune.

As of now 3 dead, 144 wounded.
One 8 year old boy waiting for his dad to finish the race so he can give his dad a hug, was dead. His mom is injured and his sister is in critical condition.

[Inccubus]

Any word on who might be responsible? Anyone claim responsibility?

[son_the_vampire]

I dont think that the heartless bastard who plotted this would admit a thing. im glad the prez didnt use "terrorist" in his address yesterday. I honestly am to the point in believing that Social Media should become a new religon. Some people truly base all of their knowledge from it. and Shiroi that was the saddest story i've heard in a while. ehhhhhh.......

[Inccubus]

Apparently he did so today, however. But he did make sure to specify that whether domestic or foreign a bombing IS an act of terror, and I have to agree.

[Abnormal Freak]

N.Y. Post reported 12 dead earlier, way to try and get the scoop on everyone and report that number erroneously.

And of course the conspiracy theorists are going gaga over such information saying that the current "3 dead" count is a government coverup of the real numbers.

As per it being an act of terror...well, it certainly is. Its purpose was to incite fear, to get a nation riled up—there doesn't have to be a high body count in order for that to happen. Things like this are done to make people feel weak and helpless, that disaster could strike at any moment.

Hopefully they catch the A-hole(s) responsible. Crime don't pay, yo.
