4. Bastards

yes, too mild a word. Evil.

The third bomb should yield some good forensic info so they can catch the motherf**kers.

8. On "Patriot's Day" no less.

"Remember the "Shot Heard 'Round the World" from history class? The phrase penned by Ralph Waldo Emerson refers to the first armed engagement between the British and colonial militiamen at the Battles of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts on April 19, 1775. Patriots' Day commemorates this opening engagement in the American Revolution"

9. Old South Church in that block, of Tea Party fame

If I remember, that is where the Boston Tea Party was organized. I used to stay in that area a lot. It looked to be across from the Lennox Hotel.

6. Shit. I was really hoping it was electrical

I hope they learned enough from the unexploded bomb to start tracking the punks who did this.

Thank goodness it wasn't timed to the fastest runners, the carnage would have been far, far worse.

I hate bombers. They're the worst cowards of all.
