Anyone else disturbed

Reading some poster's responses as they lust for it to be the work of their favorite personal bogeyman?

How about we wait until some facts come in before jumping to conclusion, or should we do a Bush and just start bombing the Tea Party, NRA, or the March of Dimes headquarters....

This is in regards to the Boston Marathon bombing.

Right wingers want it to be muslim. Left wing wants it to be tea partier.

We go through this crap with every tragedy that hits this country. It's disgusting.

The only recent left wing bombers I can recall are the ELF, firebombing condo construction sites during off hours when the workers had gone home.

has a lot of rumor and speculation. We may not know the answer to this attack for a long time so let the Boston police and FBI do their job. Meanwhile, its fun to play the blame game, isn't it?

8. I don't have a "favorite" boogeyman but this doesn't seem like a logical

international terrorism event. Not enough casualties or injuries. That seems callous but one thing international terrorists have shown they are capable of, is creating events that leave people with mass casualties and deaths.

That way it will seem even creepier that it happened.

Who did it is a legitimate line of thinking, questioning, etc. for a discussion. We don't need your permission to say.

It is sick that bombs were used against athletes trying their best to win a race. That's all I have to say.

It could have been a group of criminals that wanted to distract from another crime. Something that has yet to be reported yet due to, thanks to the chaos, be discovered.

We don't know. We need to sit back and wait.
