I have to say, this is very tragic. What made it even more upsetting was that it was done on the day of an event (in this case, the Boston Marathon). It also didn't say who planted the bombs, but I'm assuming it was done by terrorists. Now, I'm not saying that it is possible, but is this Al-Qaeda's revenge for our killing Bin Laden, or could this have been done by someone else?

I'm watching/listening to the live coverage on the BBC website. It is too early to say whether it's an act of terrorism or domestic. Even officials have assumed terrorism in the past and have been wrong. The incident at JFK seems to be unrelated. "Cheryl Fiandaca Boston Police Department head of public information tweets: Update JFK incident appears to be fire related"

... f**k... this will get ugly... An attack on US ground?

... all we can hope for is that it is domestic, as this would limit escalation.... but I am a pessimist by heart...

I've heard that there were four bombs--three went off, one didn't. Over 12 people are dead, and God knows how many are injured. They have one person in custody right now--a Saudi nationalist.

Just be thankful it wasn't you who got hurt.

It sounds like there was a third explosion that was a controlled detonation by the police.

If that Saudi nationalist is responsible, hopefully he isn't on the autism spectrum. If he isn't, the media will probably say he is anyway though. This is another opportunity for them to push their autistic hate agenda. This must be a great day for the news stations. They just get to sit back, relax, and enjoy the chaos. You win this time, media!

I think this is bigger than the psychological profile of a single individual...

Maybe it's a bunch of individuals who are all on the autism spectrum. Maybe everyone in Al Queda is on the autism spectrum.
