Boston marathon

Pipe bombs? Straight out of the Anarchist's cookbook? On tax day?

*places bets that an American did this*

*places secondary bet that the sequester played a role*

*then returns to painting the prayer room, because that's pretty much what I can do, which at least is something*

I would be enormously surprised if this incident were due to foreign terrorism. Who but an American would care about Tax Day *or* the Boston Marathon?

or Patriot Day or the 20th Anniversary of Waco? Almost certainly a homegrown thing.

Waco happened on April 15th?

I wouldn't be surprised if those wanting to continue the "war on terror" don't try to make this about Iran or Saudi Arabia, but it smells American whackjob to me.

[batdina]

not April 15, April 19. But both were "Patriot's Day".

They are already trying to pretend it was about Iran or Saudi Arabia. But it definitely has the distinct stench of Militia America to me too.

(I have something else I'd like to talk with you about. Do you accept PMs? Or is there an email addy I should use? Thanks. Oh, and nothing bad, just a thing I have to do for school and I'm hoping you'll be up for answering some questions for it.)

Something about the materials also smells American. Bet I'm not the only one suspicious about the explosion in Waco.

PMs aren't ideal -- I miss them. Send me an email at icarus dot ancalion at gmail

Exactly.

My first thought was American grown and weapons ban related.

[icarus]

Yep.

We'll see soon enough.
