Sure some heroes will be emerging from this tragedy. Even on the footage of the blast you can see Marathon medics and some spectator soldiers in their BDUs running towards the blast to help.

I agree the image of the soldiers running to pull that fence away is powerful.

First responders are like no others... While most are running away they're running towards the shit....

There's a special place in hell reserved for the low life's responsible for this....

Terrible day for America. It's really sad to see those pictures of Americans and the carnage that a coward brought here.

Prayers to the injured and families of all!

Pray for our country

Wow! That picture speaks VOLUMES! I'm surprised he didn't die from shock! This should not be happening on American soil. Just makes you feel numb and pissed at the same time!

Don't Forget:
April 12-14 - First shots fired on Ft. Sumter to officially start the Civil War
April 18 - The shot heard round the world at Lexington

Good post Huck, never really pondered on April as being our violent month.

Hang the fuckers!

Actually. Lincoln wouldn't remove his troops from ft sumter located in a free nations port. Lincoln sent a ship with additional troops and supplies to the fort. SC fired on the ship like any sovereign nation would do when their major port is occupied by a force they've given every safe passage chance to leave. The shot is t what started it. Lincoln. Started it.

Reports say the devices were 6qt pressure cookers. People say it smelled like firecrackers. Judging from the amount of smoke, black marks on the pavement, and relatively low concussive force I would say it was black powder. So 6qt pressure cookers with black powder and ball bearings, nails etc as shrapnel.. Seems very low tech for international terrorists. They usually prefer chemicals and military explosives on suicide missions. Plus none of them have claimed it yet. Terrorists usually operate in cells and being killed is typically in the plans. They don't typically strike and try to get away, they stay and try to inflict more casualties. Like in India with the hotel stuff. That was suicide bombers and gunmen. I hope it's not domestic as that will be a shitload harder to track and catch the guy, but it is sure looking like it.

Does that mean muzzleloaders are in trouble?

I've been thinking domestic all along. A Terrorist would have strapped a few pounds of c4 to his chest and ran out into the middle of the crowd taking out as many as possible.

Hmmm... go figure, it just got harder to get black powder.
