OMFG... what the hell...?

i woke up in a new bugatti
come on if youre gonna say something like this at least post a link? or was it in the livefeed?
I still don't get the idea behind bombings like these. Perhaps the worst thing about it that there may be maniacs like these looking to bomb your local event as well. There is no known motive as of yet, right?
Apparently there's been a third explosion at the John F. Kennedy Library?

Yep. And no, there's nobody in custody right now.
Probably not the smartest first post, TriMoon. :(
Oh, My, Arceus! This is really bad. I'm watching it on the news now. Two of the bombs went off along the street for the Boston Marathon, and the third bomb went off at the JFK Library. 23 people injured, 2 people dead. This is absolutely horrendous!!!
When I heard this I just got sick to my stomach. People just can't be trusted.
For anyone interested in keeping up with this live, the bbc is running a live text compilation of information as it develops.
Saw an eyewitness video of the bombing on ABC News just now. It's horrifying to think that something like this can happen without any warning whatsoever.
Also, there actually is somebody in custody according to this article from about an hour ago.
EDIT: Sincere thanks to whoever cleaned up the thread just now.

No. Just...no.

Apparently it was just a fire?
I agree with Galladiator. That's was just wrong. Like the one time when somebody tried to sell a Halloween mask of James Holmes, the Century 16 theater shooting.
Well the new york post said something about a suspect being held in a hospital while another news source is saying the Boston police are denying it...better wait for official statements. In any case whoever did this wasn't a suicide bomber and they're gonna get caught if there are'nt already.
The Boston Marathon is an international event held on Patriot's Day - a state holiday in Massachusetts.
While it is not known who is responsible yet, the symbolism and methodology are in line with Al-Queda's MO.
