Connecting the dots isn't always easy, but it's not nearly as hard as you make it out to be.  

hartsickdiscipl

It's no doubt easier when you make it up as you go along.

 

Operation Northwoods.  That's all anyone should need to say to shut you people up.  I shouldn't have to say or provide anything else, ever.  

http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=92662&page=1#.UWyOkbWG18E

Do you have any idea how f*cking evil that plan was?  That was the US government, admittedly about to kill a bunch of innocent US citizens in a series of false flag attacks that would give them a reason to go to war with Cuba.  Who shot the plan down?  What happened to that guy? 

Looks like Robert McNamara and nothing happened to him. Also perhaps you're forgetting this was 50 years ago and never happened?

Holy crap that's horrible. Hopefully it's just some lone nut doing this and not an entire group, would be far easier to prevent future attacks that way.

Always weird to see tragedy being captured on a video, rather than the aftermath. I can't imagine watching live feed of huge explosions from aerial bombs resulting in flying limbs

The new gun laws would have prevented this how.?

When people want to hurt others, they will use whatever method is available, and all these stupid ****ing new gun laws won't do a ****ing thing.

 

Startin to get the message ?

Number of gun massacres>>>>>> number of bombings Owning a gun= 400% higher chance of being shot than if you didn't own a gun Less guns= Less shootings Simple math bro

Okay, so the marathon first (with a third device disarmed) and now the JFK library.

Given the low quality of explosives used, this might be a domestic group or a set of people loosely affiliated with international terrorist organizations. Either that or mole people.

They'll know if it was domestic or foreign real fast. Bomb experts will be able to tell simply by the type of bomb, materials used and how they were assembled. I hope it was foreign. But.. not arab. That's the last thing people need. If domestic then... We need step back and look at what are society is turning into. Really hope its not domestic. But... Then again if it was foreign then your gonna have people screaming WAR. It's a lose lose situation. Fubar if you will. Motokid6
Yea, this is a bad situation all the way around. Mass shootings and bombings within months of each other, jesus.

what would stop foreign terrorists from using improvised explosive materal purchased in the united states or from another country entirely besides their own?

Nothing, but internationally funded terrorists tend to go after more "deadly" bombs.

Nothing. But simply the way it was put together, the type of explosion and just the matter in which it was done. They'll be able to tell right off the bat if it was an organized group ( and what group ) or some drugged out guy in his garage. Now.. what I want to know is.. where in the hell were the bomb sniffing dogs? I've been to the NYC marathon and one in philly. They had a team of dogs going from trash can to trash can and every nook and cranny you could imagine... Where.. were the dogs?

Maybe Boston isn't nearly as paranoid? Seems kind of ironic to say that but it's probably the truth. 

Decent humans don't go blowing up others for the sport of it.

Turns out, JFK was just an unfortunately timed fire in the mechanical room. No injuries there.

Post claims Saudi national under arrest guarded at a Boston hospital; claims surveillance footage has him bringing backpacks to the scene. Looking for better/more sources.

The f*ck you talking about?

frannkzappa

TSA molestations, patriot act, warrentless wire taps, social network surveillance, surveillance drones over US skys, FBI ability to write their own warrants bypassing courts, disregard for the 4th amendment, etc.

Well i fully support most of those things so i don't see why i'd try to stop them.

Well then clearly there is something wrong with you. Are you afraid of the outside world that much, or what?

[QUOTE="Ace6301"][QUOTE="hartsickdiscipl"] It's almost like emergency medical services are prepared for emergency medical services. hartsickdiscipl

 

Yes.  With an emphasis on mass casualty situations.  

Right. That doesn't demonstrate anything except preparedness for events like this, and you would be hard pressed to find an event like this that didn't utilize all technology available. Hart you're an asshole, and I would hate for any youth to grow into the person you've demonstrated yourself to be on these forums.

In other news, 55 people were killed in Iraq by a bomb explosion. Lonelynight
Please, stay relevant. Make another thread if you'd like regarding the relative coverage of news, but don't try and derail the thread. And don't act like you even give a sh*t that people died in Iraq.
