I wonder if Massachusetts has recently passed any new laws on gay marriage, gun control or abortion. Any of those will get the Christian crazies going.
*breaking news* Boston Marathon explosions

24 hour news channels don't - they have to keep talking constantly now for days going on "something blew up in Boston", so why can't we?
There's about to be a Police controlled explosion near the original blast sites.

Yes ABC saying minimum of 3 although that's likely to be higher.
I heard 4 reported but probably a few more.
Sky News said 3.
The key question is whether this was a foreign or domestic incident - it will have potentially two very different ramifications.
From what we have seen/heard so far it would appear to be planted devices with either timed or remote detonation. If they have found other devices it would generally rule out suicide bombers.

I'm not going to argue that "Christian" crazies don't exist, but indiscriminate bombings are hardly their M.O.

You can see the bomb squad in the news pictures.

looks pretty grim at the moment.

The explosion didn't look too powerful, could have been much worse.
First thing I thought of, to be honest.

Some of the pics are pretty grim tbh.

I would imagine that would be a standard response anyway.

The bombs contained ball bearings though.
