Cops dispatching bomb-sniffing dogs and SWAT teams.

Also keeping an eye out for anyone on a cell phone.

It could be a gasline explosion, but I know we have been bombed. They got us again.

Don't assume or guess, it's natural but not right just now. It could be a lone wolf, it could be anarchists, it could be an Islamic nutjob, nobody knows.

Tax day in Boston. Large gathering. Definitely not a random attack.

Police said there would be a controlled explosion as part of the bomb disposal effort, so maybe that's the third blast.

A lot of the wounds appear to in the lower extremities. 

BPD warning officers to watch out for trash cans. 

Ten amputations at Boston hospital.  Sad

Not random. Boston Marathon would be a spectacular for anyone.

I'm hearing that the police have executed some controlled detonations on nearby streets. Which means there are definitely other bombs.

It seems this section was for the victims/parents from Newtown, Connecticut.

Could this have been done by conspiracy theorists, those ones who thought Newtown was a conspiracy to take away their guns.



There seems to be a fire at the JFK Library right now too... can be seen from the skyline.

All off-duty officers have been activated. They need all the help they can get.

Or whackos looking to blame them.  Right now it doesn't serve to speculate.

They're saying that was an unrelated mechanical issue.

There have been reports of violent Islamists - the homegrown amateur type that don't get anywhere and wouldn't get to the point where you could arrest them without secret service contacts egging them on at every step, usually Roll Eyes - talking about attacking marathons, as mass gatherings with little security, for years. Just saying. Heck, they worked that into the excellent movie Four Lions.
Of course anybody could have taken their cue from that, not just a Muslim.
