about the Boston bombings today, am I the only one who has thought it might have something to do with the Sandy Hook presence there today?

The gun nutters have gone craz(ier) trying to convince us that it is not about guns. ("Guns don't kill people." "People kill people.&quot Normally I am not a conspiracy thinking type. But it all seems too coincidental.

The people of Sandy Hook have suffered enough. I can't even imagine what this new trauma will do to them.

There are some very sick people in this country.

An AP reporter also says that Newtown families were in the VIP section, by the explosion, but were not injured.

Boston Marathon runners for Newtown safe, finished before blasts

(CNN) -- Six members of the Newtown Strong team who ran the Boston Marathon on Monday are OK, according to a Facebook post from the group.

"Members of the Newtown Strong team which ran in today's marathon are safe. All runners completed the race before the explosions happened," the post said.

The runners ran the 26.2-mile event to honor the 26 people who were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14. The Newtown Patch reported there were six runners from the town in the race, including Laura Nowacki, whose daughter survived the shooting.

Marathon organizers held a 26-second moment of silence before the race to honor the first graders and educators who were killed by Adam Lanza and dedicated the final mile to the victims.

2. No, you're not the only one thinking about it.

It's probably best not to openly speculate in the meantime, though, because it could turn out that we were wrong.

I will say that the circumstances -- Patriot's Day, a large Sandy Hook presence, Boston being the historical site of the actual tea party -- are interesting when considering today's political climate, & that those issues would not be motivating factors for a foreign terrorist.
