    I can't find the article but I believe it was on CNN, they stated that police was given permission to search the apartment. One would imagine the tenants gave them permission as they didn't have a search warrant. Found this article that states the following (http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/04/15/17767721-officials-to-public-send-photos-video-from-boston-marathon-bombings?lite):

    Again, this is fairly new and more information will continue to leak out. They are more so counting on folks who were taking pictures and recording videos. They are hoping some evidence might come out of them to determine who did this.

    Zapruder really changed the game.

    I agree... we surely do not know the guy has ANYTHING to do with this...

    but I know they are questioning a lot of Saudi's... and looking for dark skinned folks with funny accents... and I know this non-person of interest hasn't been released :)
    My initial point in addressing him, was that it was suggested that it was all "bull(*)(*)(*)(*)" and suggested part of a smear campaign, when the likelihood is that it is some tea party republican. That is why I am snarky.

    Yes I do - I help the people you lot are setting up for lynching or invasion, obviously. Alas, the amount of help we can give against the murderous Noise Machine is small, but duty is duty.

    I know, I was merely adding some more sustenance to the conversation. From hearing about the way the bombs were made, the significance of the date (April 15 being Patriots Day in Boston & has significance to 2 other bombings (Waco & Oklahoma)), things can look a bit weird and one sided. It was definitely meant to do damage, whoever planted the bombs. They wanted to hurt people and did just that.

    Where it gets scary for me is when innocent folks are involved. This is where we all essentially become collateral damage. To me, that's scary because this type of thing can essentially happen anywhere.

    What have you heard about the bomb construction (outside of the ball bearings)?

    What I know, is that law enforcement officials insist on using the terms Terrorism, and Improvised Explosive Device (IED)... not "pipe bomb" etc. I think they are easing into international verbiage for a reason... but we will see.

    I also know that until about 5 minutes ago, Obama refused to use the word "terrorism".

    See, I heard conflicting reports, and that's why I try to temper my words appropriately. Some people are saying the bombs were made with ball bearings in them, in order to inflict maximum damage. Then I heard doctors, on scene, stating that the projectiles in the injured weren't from the bomb itself. Insisting that it was more of the debris that was being blown around from the blast. It could've been a mixture of the two, so we'll see about that.

    As far as the bomb is concerned, all I've heard it was an IED as well. However, it was a very crude & unsophisticated bomb. Of which, they make it seem like it could've been a domestic act of violence. I also watched one news outlet (Good Morning America) and they talked about how the bomb that was used (How they know this is beyond me, but that's besides the point) is something that could've been learned how to make online. There was also conflicting reports that cellular service went down after the explosions because they believed the bombs were being tripped via wireless signal. That was debunked as only 2 bombs were detonated and no other bomb was found (Despite other reports).

    In either case, when folks state 'terrorism' and knowing of the various bills in play (NDAA & Patriot Act), one can only imagine what type of procedures are going to be implemented to find out who did this. Alex Jones also has a report, on his website (http://www.prisonplanet.com/eyewitness-authorities-must-have-known-about-bombing.html), that the Boston Police knew of a threat before it happened. I don't read much into him because he borders too much on conspiracy theory for me. Plus, it seems like he does some of this stuff to pull in ratings than really trying to find out the truth.

    However, I still keep my eyes open to various things, you never know what might pop up.

    Patriot’s Day also marks the anniversary of the end of the Waco siege in 1993 and any domestic right-wing extremists inspired by the Branch Davidian cult could be blamed while the far-left alternatives linked to the Occupy movement cannot be completely ruled out. Moreover, the use of ball bearings is a hallmark of the IRA and Boston is known to be the home of American IRA sympathisers.

    It is absolutely unbelievable that people can't come up with anything but guessing, finger pointing and spewing absolute hatred.
    Why don't we just come together on days like this, uniting in love?
    Let the authorities work it out, wait until all facts are in, pray for those who are hurt and for those who lost loved ones.

    All our deepest sympathies are with those who died, those who were maimed, and with those who lost people they love. The problem is with the notion that 'the authorities' will work anything our but a reason for yet another imperialist war. It has been done again and again and again and again, as you know.

    Unfortunately, this is the reality we live in. It's easier for folks to blame someone else than it is to take responsibility for their own actions. To them, as long as those who brought harm to everyone is brought to justice, that's all they will care about. Forgetting about those who were lost in the wake of the destructive path, only to bask in the chance to see justice brought to those who deserve it.

    Not only that, but we have the ingredients of two unexploded bombs.

    The ball bearings should prove to be a significant clue.

    You don't go down to the hardware store and buy a bag of ball bearings. They came from an industrial supply house, or out of some industrial facility with crushing and screening equipment (specifically a ball mill). Or someone bought a whole lot of ball bearings and took the balls out.

    In any of these scenarios, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Just measuring the diameter of teh balls will narrow down the field a lot.

    Jesus - everyone in his right mind supported the terrorists, as you know, which is why the French were allowed to set up a puppet government! Tax-dodgers make lousy masters, as you serfs have found out! :)

    Doctors reported pulling ball bearings out of the victims... though nobody seemed to confirm for cnn...

    http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/15/us/boston-bombings-injuries/

    http://nation.time.com/2013/04/16/feds-seek-suspects-motive-in-boston-bombings/

    Maybe bbs... I actually kind of expect shotgun shells may have been used somehow... or their contents. I cannot find it now, but one man said he found little shotgun like pellets in his jacket after the bombing...

    You seem really nice. This is politics. People here will never let a tragedy go without exploitation. You should know that. I am guessing who it is and giving my reasons. No doubt...


    But I fully admit my bias against those we are at war with... that just isn't the left or right to me... but Muslim terrorists.

    The news article on the site doesn't mention an arrest, nor have any authorities involved...

    Oh I don't doubt there were BB's in there. Maybe shotgun shell pellets. Even if it was debris from the stands or other rubble, I think we can at least agree that the bombs were setup to inflict as much damage as possible. They state that the bombs didn't go off when the stands where their fullest, as the race ended nearly an hour prior to the explosions. Not sure if that relates to anything or not, but I definitely know the malicious intent was there, domestic or foreign.

    There are a lot more entities in this world that hate America than just Muslim extremists. That's why I temper my words because I have my doubts. To me, anyone could've done this. That's the true reality I see. However, everyone is absolutely entitled to their own opinions and concerns and I never discredit anyone for it. I have no facts to support my claims, so I take things for what they are and let the information come freely as possible.

    But, no one has stated that he's under arrest, so, until there's proof otherwise, technically, he is free, as far as we know...

    Did you miss the fact that he was being treated for injuries?
