How'd you like to be a young, Middle Eastern man waiting in the ER for an unrelated trauma injury right now?

large group of people at an event

Does 4:09 have any meaning?
4/09 does, but I really hope it's unrelated.
Somebody has a vendetta against all-purpose cleaners?
suspect is bald, white man

And of course today being Patriots' Day.

which is what?
Last Tuesday was the day of the meeting between this administration and the Sandy Hook parents.
That's a real stretch.
The bombs were detonated on the stretch of the marathon dedicated to the Sandy Hook victims, apparently near the Sandy Hook contingent's VIP Section.

 
Yah, can we try to limit the Sandy Hook connections here? Obviously I can't speak with any authority but I would venture to say there is probably zero connection with Sandy Hook and this attack. It is just a coincidence the Sandy Hook group was stationed at 26 mile marker which is basically the finish line. The bombs in all likelihood were meant to target the finish line, where large groups of people gather. Any other connection is just throwing #### against a wall and seeing if it hits.

It is the 26 mile marker stretch. It's the finish line more or less.

Otherwise known as the finish line.

Yes, one of them was very near the finish line. Absolutely.

 
Is it telling that no group has claimed responsibility yet?
I don't think so. Someone's going to have the act on camera, in all likelihood, whoever is responsible. Unless the devices were there for days, which seems unlikely.

Whoever was looking for publicity will ultimately get it.

I have seen numerous reports that the devices had to be planted during the race because of security sweeps before the race started...

 
CNN citing source saying both devices were NOT C4 or other high grade/military grade explosive...They were small, crude devices

Speculation is many of the injured as a result of shrapnel, flying glass, etc

 
As part of the budget deal, Obama has agreed to call this a terrorist attack (whether domestic or foreign).

April 2011 authorization to get OBL?

May 2, 2011, confirmation of said getting?

 
Is it telling that no group has claimed responsibility yet?
I mentioned this a while back. Only other time I can think of when every organization didn't rush forward to claim responsibility was 9/11.
Olympics bombings and OKC there were rushed claims of responsibility? Maybe I'm not understanding you.
LAX shooter? Shoe bomber? DC Sniper?

Yeah, I don't really recall rushed claims either.

It's not a coincidence that the marker was at Mile 26 ... that was in tribute to the 26 killed that day.
