OK, the speculation in this thread and the Internet has gotten ridiculous. For all we know that "bottle of bb balls" could be a bottle of orange juice.

Let's all take a break from the drama, go outside to smell the fresh air, and stop obsessing over whoduntit. There are thousands of professionals looking into this case right now using the most advance forensics available. Chill out and wait for them to find the real answers.

tdr says

Don't forget about the Occupy Cleveland bombers.

Yay! Finally, a semi-recent terrorist attempt that probably would have resulted in deaths and can be blamed on left-wing ideals. And involved what they thought were explosives.

Still, no deaths from left terror in the US in decades. Many deaths just in the past couple of years from right terror, not including Islamic conservative terror, here in the USA. And the number of right wing plots carried out or foiled is exponentially larger than those on the left.

God that Infowars thread is full of DERP. One choice comment:

And the rage of the right wing resulted in the dismantling of a group studying far-right extremism due to Congressional Pressure.

http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/16/us/domestic-terrorism

The feds are going to televise the tape of the bombers. That must mean they haven't a clue where these guys are. It would be great if the public could identify these depraved individuals and "we" as a nation take them down. That would be great for healing of the nation. Whoot-whoot!

Evidently these 2 guys have already been cleared.

Just watched live NBC coverage of FBI press conference.

2 males identified, definitely not the ones above, photos to be posted on fbi.gov.

No one noticed these guys. They were too busy looking at their cellphones!

Who knows.

In the top photo what is cropped out is they are standing in the MIDDLE OF THE STREET after the bombing next to a POLICE TRUCK. So, probably not mad bombers. Likely undercover police or hired security eyeballs likely former military, backpack appears to be this one:

Exactly why speculation is bad. It turns a criminal investigation into a witch hunt. Thankfully no asshole acted on the assumption that this guy was the terrorist and then attacked him.

Oh, and during the FBI press conference, the InfoWars people had to open their mouths about their False Flag lunacy:

This report talks about how the was a suspect for the FBI and portrayed as such in some newspapers, not about being a suspect of non-official media sites on the internet. Looks like you got this one mixed up.

Every asshole speculating about who did it should be forced to watch that video one thousand times while apologizing for being an asshole.

Modern age witch-hunts revolve around the Internet.

He should also sue the New York Post for libel, reckless endangerment, and emotional damages. I'd award him several million dollars for that shit. His family members should also sue for distress.

Eyewitness testimony from a victim, who SAW the bag being dropped

You think that'll put the InfoWars nutters down? Nope, for them it just means the conspiracy runs EVEN deeper. Because paranoid cranks just cannot settle for something so obvious and simple as a terrorist team, they absolutely can't stand it when the plot doesn't involve American Gestapo and well-trained assassins.

Apparently someone just realized they think to have a clearer photo of Suspect #2 on their iPhone:

Could be.

Those Reddit guys might be amazing. Earlier today they thought the bomber with the white cap might be missing Brown U student Sunil Tripathi.

Now after the Watertown battle and capture Boston police scanner just said the suspect 2 in Watertown is Sunil Tripathi. If it turns out to be true, I will have to give the Reddit creds.

I personally don't think it is him. I think bomber 2's mouth is totally different, much smaller. But it's a good guess.

Final word?

Looks like it might be a pair of Chechnan brothers who carried out the bombing and one has been killed.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/one-boston-marathon-suspect-dead-second-run-police-say/story?id=18994511

Call it Crazy says

Give it a little more time and the second one will be killed too.. you know, dead men don't tell stories....

He'll be shot in the face and drooped in the Ocean, and it will be reported they were Rednecks from Texas.

Well, I'm stuck at home, asked not to leave my house. I can't take subway to work, and Boston (inluding my town) is shut down/locked down.......

Suspect "#1" is dead, the other probably giving up the 'mortal coil' in Watertown as I write. The 2 are (were) brothers originally from Russia (Chechens), having moved to Cambridge around 2000-1. I'm amazed at those liberals (those I don't respect) who shoot their mouth off immediately blaming the GOP/Right-wingers/Rebublicans/conservatives/Tea Party right after a trgedy. In a conversation w/ my neighbor a couple of days ago, she tells me the bombers were probably motivated by the recent 'anti-gun' law efforts. I said 'really'? Blowing up people at the finish line w/ a bomb because this bill is being voted on in legislature? Fuckin' clueless.

I know there are plenty of conservative/right wingers very capable of shooting their mouths off, and do it frequently. But I really never hear one after a tragedy. They may defend initial accusations from the left, But I hear plenty of lefties stirring up the shit storm to start the arguments.

Want an example? Right after 911, I'm talking to my sister. She and her then finacee were telling me they would 'bet the house' that this 'response' was due to Bush being elected. Really?!! I love my sister and is one of the brighter people I know, but she's fuckin' clueless when it comes to reality. Well we all know that 911 was planned WAAAAY before Bush even got elected. Hell, they had a 'dry run' in '93 when Clinton was in office, Clinton never really caught shit from the MSM on that one.

Moral of the story for both sides of the isle? STFU till the facts come in. Otherwise, you'll only come across as a clueless asshole, much like David Sirota from Solon, or that arrogant prick named Barney Frank, who politicized this tragedy within 2 DAYS of the bombing. Classless, clueless arrogant prick. I'm glad he's not in office...I'm not a big fan of Gov. Patrick or Mayor Menino, but they are saying and doing the right things. Hats off to them on this one....

LOL... I remember that one. Thanks for the laugh...

I bet the lefties of the world are bummed these guys are Muslim and not right-wing nutters or tea partiers. Still an analyst on CNN this morning said she wouldn't call it terrorism. WTH? Some people are just too lefty for common sense.

ARE YOU DEAF? I CAN HARDLY HEAR MYSELF FOR THE SOUND OF RIGHT WING DERPERS!

One of the Infowars guys interrupted the FBI press conference with his False Flag lunacy. Freeper site is full of that. All my GOP relatives are sure this is connected to libtards & background checks. Facebook? Full of that too. Right here in this thread we have Thomas Wong peddling the idea it was Marxists.

What's the post right above yours? Oh yeah another False Flag nutter itching to blame this on Obama.

If you can't "really never hear one after a tragedy" well you are deliberately looking the other way.

Sure there are people who thirsted for this to be Teabaggers. I bashed them for it. When you start bashing the Thomas Wongs instead of just PRETENDING THEY'RE NOT THERE, I'll respect your bipartisanship.

This was terrorism by foreigners, so let's drop this and move on. I have relatives in Cambridge who I am concerned about. Further posts in this vein will make me itch for the delete button, go crap on some other thread.

My cousin's update:

"We are ok. Frightening night and apparently a day not to leave the house but we're fortunate to be ok and I wish that so greatly for all our neighbors."

WHEW!

Wait a minute, they aren't black panthers. Something is wrong. Must be a false flag attack.

They must be one of those liberal-socialist Caucasian Region Muslim Fundamentalists, no doubt inspired by labor disputes in the 1910s in Chicago or something.

Vic,

I have a life and don't spend as much time as you do reading the opinions of the anonymous. My experiences that I mention are from conversations I hear, or are involved with. I don't get my knickers in a twist like you do, from what I read on the 'net. Why? 1) I don't have much time and 2) really don't have the interest what nameless/faceless people from both sides of the isle spew. I really concentrate, and care about what I hear from actual people I talk to or, listen to around me.

The fact that this act of terror happened in my backyard, and the fact that my comment on this thread concerning this thread is #148 speaks volumes more that your petty rants on this thread. So go spend time bashing the right from far away on this sad event. Delete this comment if you want. I don't care. I'm just relating to actual people I've talked to. My wife's supervisor's kid was a teamate on the wrestiling team w/ Suspect #2 at Ringe HS in Cambridge. The poor MIT cop was the son of someone who works in her company. I've heard so much misdirected opinions from my neighbors on this tragedy, I have to hold my tongue. Maybe I have to be clear in communicating this to you. I have the decency to keep my big yapper shut till we got the facts. My liberal neighbors were incapable of this. I haven't heard (NOT READ ON THE INTERNET) any retarted 'speculations' from anyone that could be thought of as conservative from any neighbor or co-worker. They are smarter than that. These are my observations in my blue state.... Sorry if you don't like my comments, but this is what I've heard.

Aisle.

You live in a plastic ball, got it. Therefore perfectly valid for you to judge that conservatives "really never" leap to blame Libtards or Marxists or False Flags. I at least, notice when my friends say lunatic things, and I say WAIT that's crazy. I've seen both sides of that even from my very limited use of Facebook. Unless there's something big going on, I only check Facebook every few months.

This event seems to be, not about you.

I have the decency to keep my big yapper shut till we got the facts.

Yeah, I try to do that too. So at least we have that in common.

You know what's really pissing me off?

Reddit and accompanying whackadoodles DIDN'T LEARN from previous mistakes and spent last night trying to pin this on a missing Brown U. student named Sunil Tripathi. Or was that some sort of convoluted joke?

I'm adding this story to my long list of reasons why we should not allow immigration.

The father of the fugitive spoke from Russia urging his son to return home and warned Ameirca if he is killed then all hell will break lose.
This was after his uncle who lives in the states and hasn't talked to them since 2005, called him a low life loser, and has nothing to so with Muslims.

I thought we needed fresh drive & genius to mix in the Melting Pot? I thought we needed H1-B workers to supplant lazy/ignorant/overpaid Americans? I thought this was the land where people start over?

These guys were legal, not illegals.

DOORS CLOSED, SORRY!

Spoken like a true conservative. I got mine. Fuck everybody else.

This is also the reason why we shouldn't build anymore housing. I got my house, everyone else can live in a 300 sq. ft. apartment or on the street. We should also get rid of college. I got my degree, fuck everyone else. We should also get rid of marriage. I got my spouse, fuck everyone else. And shut down all retirement plans. I got my 401K, fuck everybody else.

We should water board all immigrants, just to make sure they have the best intentions when they immigrate here.
