I never made any claim, other than the date might mean something and we have nothing else to go on.
The choice of target is odd, but that doesn't point to islamists. In fact the dates and anniversaries make a stronger case, and the Marathon was the most high profile event at the time.
Everyone can get pressure cookers, anyone who loads their own ammunition (ie many militia types) has gunpowder available, and the instructions for a bomb can be found on the internet.
The fact that the targets were unspecified, but guaranteed to be a wide assortment of civilians, seems to indicate Islamic extremists rather than political extremists, who generally pick targets directly linked to their enemies. It could just be a lunatic though.
It's this absolute politicization - that people want it to be who they hate so they can more viscerally define and sprout out their hatred - that I find fucking reprehensible in the response to this whole thing.
I don't actually know enough about the situation but I'm going to point fingers anyways, definately the Babylonian lizard men.
Are you joking?! The Babylonian lizardmen revere marathon runners! My money's (excuse me, my labor vouchers) on the Venusian Illuminati.

Im assuming no one has claimed it yet? AT home - Ireland - the vast majority of attatcks are/were claimed very soon afterwards. I wouldnt be certain but does the fact that no one has claimed it yet rule out any of the jihadist groups?

Well that there's no political statement attached to it suggests that it's less likely to be political - but it could be a politically frustrated induvidual who is doing this out of pure frustration rather than to be a "spark" for some supposed uprising or to make a "strike against oppression". The lack of an obvious political connection to the targets also seems to suggest a non-political motive, though It's all just speculation.
Hmm here is a scenario -- and it's only a scenario -- that involves individuals from the domestic far right. It explains the lack of follow-up claims of commitment. It goes like this: We are in what is the second term of an illegitimate, collectivist and most likely Muslim president -- who just happens to be the product of miscegenation to boot. Despite warning after warning the American sheeple have not only elected this Manchurian President but went on to re-elect him with a clear majority. Clearly the American people need to be woken from their slumber. What better way to do so than by provoking an overreaction by this administration, prodding it to do the very actions they have warned the American public this Administration was planning on doing. If the attack is blamed on Muslim extremists so much the better. Yes random Americans are killed and maimed in this action but liberty always comes at a price.
In the age of the internet everyone borrows from everyone else. Strategies, tactics and techniques are the not sole possession of any group, faith or ideology.
One question I have to ask is why people in this thread are refering to Islamic extremism and 'political' terrorism as two distinct categories.
god i hope they figure out who did this soon so i dont have to read any more fucking wingnuts talk conspiracy theory shity about who dunnit
i dont think i have ever wanted the fbi to succeed at anything until now

Well, there would be the Sandy Hooks connection, it started off with a moment of silence and I believe survivors was present in some form official capacity as well.
Supposing someone took the claims of Sandy Hooks all being a set up (and thus the survivors being agents or at the very least in on it) in order to target the Second Amendment then it does make a certain kind of sense to suspect the far right. But then again so far I haven't seen any indication of a specific target for the attack other than to cause as many casualties as possible. The inclusion of shrapnel in the bombs certainly shows that was at least part of the intent. We'll just have to wait and see.

I have the Today Show on in the background, and I heard them say the word "anarchists" in a story about how to make bombs is easily accessible via the internet. I think that's about as far as the left is going to be blamed for the bombs.
There was also a story about pictures being taken seconds after the bombing where there was a man with tattered pants who seems to be running away from the scene. He probably is just running away from the bomb, but I'll admit it looks kind of suspicious. I can't post links, but it is the top story on whdh. com.

All this wild speculation is making me nauseous...
Until we know at least something about who did it, can't we please just start with the assumption that the significance of the date is simply that it was the date of the Boston marathon, that the significance of Boston is that the marathon was in Boston and that the significance of the marathon is that there were loads of people and TV cameras there, giving it maximum impact, whilst also being a relatively easy target, because there's only so much you can do to police a marathon? I think this is a far better approach than trying to figure out what's so special about 15th April, what's so special about Boston and what's so special about marathons (I know nobody here has gone that far, but I've seen Twitteroids claiming that attacking the fit and healthy was some kind of plot to weaken America/ns with an eye to easing an eventual conquest, no word of a lie), when we don't even have the foggiest who did it. And definitely definitely definitely let's drop all the insanely tenuous links...I mean c'mon now, the same week as Waco/Oklahoma? That's kind of already established itself as something you'd do on the exact day, 19th April, rather than some time in mid- to late-April. Soon we'll be saying it was maybe some Confederate neo-Nazi thing because the Eichmann trial started on 11th April you know and also the Civil War started on 12th April and that's almost right and and and blaaaaargh...
it will turn out to be an accident, a hotdog vender generator caught fire and exploded right as a person coming home from the gun store carrying black powder crossed paths with a construction worker carrying nails and hundreds of ball bearings for his kid's slingshot (birthday present), the pressure cookers were free items put out on the sidewalk

All this talk about who dunnit, and here we have clear evidence which can orient us towards the true culprits. Does anyone else notice the blurry outlines of the shifty figure in the photograph? His stooped head? His height in relation to the structure of the building? How did he get up there? These questions just AREN'T BEING ASKED. Why? Because this is a part of a conspiracy which goes so deep that it would blow the minds of most Americans. There is only one culprit which seems to fit the figure in the photograph and the inconsistencies of how a terrorist could climb a multiple story building with ease - the Sasquatch. It explains the modus operandi - where did he get the ball bearings? From stray shotgun rounds lodged in his body and that of deer carcasses from over-eager hunters. Where did he get the training? He, like the Michigan Militias, spends his time training in the woods, by himself in isolation, for months at a time. What's his motivation? Clearly, he is sick of being harassed by incompetent bigfoot hunters from cable TV channels desperate for ratings. What other evidence do we have? Boston Red Sox players pressuring the makers of Finding Bigfoot to produce evidence. Pabst, the national beer of hipsters, is offering a reward for a Bigfoot finding, and Boston is one of the top hipster cities in the USA. The national Bigfoot Research Institute stems out of Boston. That, and the obvious physical resemblance is overwhelming:Don't know if this was posted before, but they caught a guy on camera on top of one of the nearby buildings right when the explosion took place:
Story here (I know, it's from the Daily Mail, I'm sorry)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-Marathon.html
All these together lead one to the incontrovertible conclusion that the US is facing a Sasquach terror problem, and the US government may know about it or are conspiring to cover it up, for their own motives.
What's not surprising is that Bigfoot would resort to such tactics. What is surprising is that so many, from the FBI, to Leftists, to the media, to crime analysts, and so on, are all ignoring these obvious signs. Or are some of them in cahoots with the hirsute Marathon bomber? Only time will tell.

^although I take this as (justified) irony towards those who point fingers, isn't it a bit too early for jokes?
"What is necessary is to go beyond any false opposition of programme versus spontaneity. Communism is both the self-activity of the proletariat and the rigorous theoretical critique that expresses and anticipates it."

"...Stalinism is eternally condemned to govern capital, and the ideological dynamics of Stalinism are tied to this peculiar type of capital management; it is locked within this framework, reproducing the logic of capitalism under the veil of communism. For this reason, Stalinism, and its various derivatives, cannot accurately be regarded as communist if we choose to define it in materialist terms." - Tim Cornelis
I really want to rep that twice, Sinister Cultural Marxist.
Truth be told though I was surprised a random Jihadi cell hasn't come out and taken responsibility. If they haven't by now then I guess we do have a veritable whodunnit going on.
