Bombing at Boston Marathon
An explosion went off at the finish line of the Boston marathon. Reports are currently saying 2 dead and two dozen injured.
Not sure of how many Bostonian UPNers we have, but I was able to contact Morg and LBC and they're okay. Hope everyone else is okay. |

Good to hear everyone we know is fine thus far. Weird that a run would get bombed, and with nasty ones at that. Random violence?

A reporter asked the police commissioner if it was a terrorist attack and he said "make your own conclusions based on the data."
So who knows? It seems they were completely blindsided by this. |

It's the yearly visit!

My friend's dad had crossed the line literally two minutes before the explosion. This is not okay.

I don't think any sort of bombings are ever okay.

I was near there when it happened and my brother was injured in the bombings. I saw him and he's missing a hand. I'm just shocked that whoever did this would attack my brother and my city. I want then found, andI want them killed

Telltale signs of a lone-wolf attack, but we can't jump to conclusions. People are fucked up. I'm sick of this kind of shit happening in the world.
edit: deh, I'm sorry for your brother and your family. I hope he can get better with time and healing. My thoughts and prayers go out to you guys. |

So Westboro has announced they're going to picket the funerals. It seriously fills me with rage. I know that's what they want but holy fuck these people have no decency and are a vermin and disease to the human race.

Picketing soldiers funerals, okay, sure, I guess you can express dissent for the American military and be intentionally disrespectful because you hate the US. Picketing victims of hate crimes, okay, sure, I guess you can show how much you hate the fags. But picketing innocent bystanders who were the victims of senseless and random attacks? Even with the most twisted logic I can contort my mind to follow, I still can't make any sense of that. |

I understand it but consider them completely and utterly wrong. They should be classified as a hate group by the US government.

You guys are giving them the attention they crave. Can we please not do that?

A couple of people talking about it on an obscure Pokemon message board isn't really giving them attention.

apparently a 4th bomb was found as well.
Many people in Critical condition, and many people have missing limbs. A true Attack by Bastards who deserve to rot in jail. |

They're at it again. On a rampage tonight, the suspects who appear to be from the Boston bombings Monday are wreaking havoc in Boston suburbs. Killed an MIT officer and then proceeded to lead the cops on a high speed chase through Cambridge and Watertown. You can follow the feed here. You can follow live on reddit here.
The suspects attacked police with grenades, long guns, pipe bombs, and planted more pressure cooker bombs around. Cops have been disarming them and have already killed one suspect. Another is still missing. This is like a fucking nightmare. Stay safe tonight Boston. STAY INSIDE. |

All of Boston is basically under martial law right now as they continue to search for the suspect in the white hat. Since I last posted officers have found dozens of more suspicious packages/bombs and detonated several of them.
The two suspects are confirmed brothers who are from Russia near Chechnya. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22213651 |

Prayers and thoughts are with everyone in Boston. I hope they find the other man soon.
Does this mean the bombings were technically a foreign act of terrorism? |
