Boston Marathon Bombing

     Tam just called out, "There was an explosion at the JFK Library, too." (ETA: Networks now are saying it appears to be a simple fire in an equipment room, unrelated to the bombing.)

     Great.  Nevertheless. Ijits with explosives.  Blowing up innocents.  Not good.  Who the hell does this to a bunch of runners and people out having a good time?

     Media blames "gun nuts" in five...four...three...two....one...

     Dammit.

     (Let's see, next thing after blaming you and me will be claims from the far Left and Right that this is some kind of inside job, followed in a few days by frame-by-frame analysis of blurry YouTube video purporting to show it was "faked."  Followed by There Ought To Be A Law, if the Prez doesn't just go and do that tonight, prolly linking it to the supposed "need" to pass Manchin-Toomey and "even tougher laws to keep Americans safe." Never let a crisis go to waste, ey?)

    One of my early concerns (after, of course, concern for those impacted) is that, due to this being tax day, this will get played as a domestic threat. For all I know, it IS, or could be, but whether or not that is true will certainly come a distant second to blaming the hateful right wing tea party white racist gun owners. I HATE thinking this way- I don't even get a chance to be shocked or to show concern before I start getting defensive.

    Fox:

    "Authorities were guarding a person of interest at a local hospital, sources told FoxNews.com. The person, who sources said was 20 years old, had severe burns, but authorities had not determined whether the person was a victim or a perpetrator. The FBI, which was treating the bombing as a terrorist investigation, was analyzing video from several area surveillance cameras."

    Hmm.

    My first impulse was to blame evangelical Chik-fil-a activists bent on retribution for being banned in Boston.
