Honest question. Today is Patriot's Day, and Friday is the 20th anniversary of the fiery culmination of the Waco seige. Not speculating, just wondering.

(61,694 posts)12. Yes. Close enough since they won't move the Marathon to coincide
with the anniversary of Waco/OKC. Gun legislation in the Senate. Newtown families at the Marathon.
It seems to add up.
