  • Two explosions at Boston marathon finish line

    BOSTON (AP) — Two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon have resulted in injuries.

    Bloody spectators were being carried Monday to the medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners. Police wove through competitors as they ran back toward the course.

    "There are a lot of people down," said one man, whose bib No. 17528 identified him as Frank Deruyter of North Carolina. He was not injured, but marathon workers were carrying one woman, who did not appear to be a runner, to the medical area as blood gushed from her leg. A Boston police officer was wheeled from the course with a leg injury that was bleeding.

    About three hours after the winners crossed the line, there was a loud explosion on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the photo bridge that marks the finish line. Another explosion could be heard a few seconds later.
    Damn!

          False flag event perpetrated by a "radical right wing gun nut with a bible in his hand"? The background check with the ban as an amendment is being debated, after all...

                "the Boston Herlad reports that the explosion seemed to be centered in a 'trash can'."

                "Reporters on the scene are reporting dozens of injuries and lost limbs."

                              I'm glad this was not done at the start of the marathon at least. Anyone who has been knows just how damned crowded they are when starting.

                              This is not good though and I wish the best for the injured/killed.
