Let's not go overboard with speculation regarding the Boston explosion.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

It appears to be deliberate, but beyond that....we just don't know.

Restraint, people, restraint.

1. Good Luck

I just tweeted that and got hammered by people who have followed me for a long time. People don't want to hear it. But it's making me sick seeing people already saying it's time to go get the "towelheads" again.

2. Two to three hours before any official word

It could be infrastructure related.

So it will take two to three hours at the earliest.

First priority is triage and getting casualties away to trauma centers.

3. Too late

most people have set their sights on their favorite scapegoat(s). Not that anyone will ever admit to being wrong later...

It seems way too much to be a coincidence but the list of suspects is about everyone.

Care for the victims is what is important now. Maybe make a donation to the Red cross, blood or other, to take personal action.

15. +1

The silence is deafening when people act sure and then are proved wrong. That actually matters too, because the same people turn around and do the same thing next time.

And why not, especially if you won't be called out on it?

[GreenStormCloud]

4. Too late.

There are already DUers who are blaming RW. I dropped over and took a look at a conservative site and they are blaming Muslims.

[AgingAmerican]

5. Probably a right wing attack

NRA gun nut 'patriot' related would be my guess. Time will tell...

[GreenStormCloud]

7. I will wait for more information.

A couple of weeks ago the DA & his wife, in Kaufman, TX were killed. Two months before that the assistant DA was killed. (Same town). DUers were blaming a local white supremest group. I suggested waiting for information and was accused of defending a hate group. A suspect was arrested a couple of days ago and it was a previous Justice of the Peace who had been convicted. No RW/LW political connections at all, just individual hate.

Waiting for more info is the wiser choice, than instant blame with no information.

[Floyd_Gondolli]

18. Uh, it wasn't just DUers blaming white supremacists

It was law enforcement raising the possibility with the media that set all of that off.

[Dash87]

9. I don't think so, but we'll see.

Whoever it is, they'll be caught shortly.

[AngryAmish]

12. teabagger

bet on it

[AgingAmerican]

13. Today is "Patriots day" in Massachusetts

The day they celebrate and reenact the first shot of the Revolutionary war at Concord bridge. This raises my eyebrows somewhat...

[RZM]

16. Could also be Col. Mustard in the library

With the candlestick.

Could be any number of things. How about facts first, conclusions second?

Maybe it's a winger? Maybe it's a deranged person who thinks they are St. Paul? Maybe it's Al-Qaida? Maybes are all there is right now.

[Xyzse]

6. I don't have any one to blame yet.

I just am ticked off that such a thing would happen at such a positive event.

[winter is coming]

8. +1000. n/t

[Rex]

10. No names, but I am confused why someone would pick

the Boston Marathon. It is a positive event for everyone! WTF?!?!?!

[geek tragedy]

14. That's the entire point of terrorists who target civilians.

They're simply evil.

[Rex]

17. True.

They don't give a fuck.

[99Forever]

11. I couldn't agree more.

Way too soon.
