Prob some bent out of shape nut case for losing his job/house and he takes it out on the marathon cause hes pissed off at the city for spending all the cash on it was he has nothing.

The sad part is I think there will be a lot more situations like this in the future :okay:

Sometimes your lack of intelligence just amazes me.

Terrorism (terrorist attack) - noun
1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.

As defined by dictionary.com - Terrorism | Define Terrorism at Dictionary.com

Which aspect of the Boston Marathon bombing lacked the use of violence, threats and intimidation?

Even if it's just some random crazy nutjob, the way the event took place on April 15th, 2013. It's still an act of terrorism.

Of course there will be, western society as it is breads psychopaths

Also it's rediculous everyone had to wait until Obama deemed it "terrorism" it's terrorism whether it was al quaeda or some nut job who lost his job either way..

I say leave it to the professionals. The picture above may lead to vigilante justice, and vigilante justice, especially when 4chan and Anonymous get involved, will only serve to hamper the investigation.

well to be fair there's no internationally accepted definition of terrorism because countries like america/uk/china don't want their actions defined as such nor is there a desire to mark rebellions as terrorism

and what darth had meant, i think, is a terrorist organization vs a single nutjob

Well, he needs to learn to write clearer with more substance, cause constantly making empty statements without backing will leave him vulnerable to criticism. It's not his first and definitely won't be his last.

Chuckles, I can say the same thing about your state-run, anti-Semitic (or "ZioAmerican", either way you spin it it's still the same thing), anti-Western news source. Dismissal can go both ways.

radioman 04-17-2013 05:30 PM

There is only one true way my son. You're blinded by ZioEmerica.

i didnt backtrace enough in this thread to see in what kind of context the word terrorism was used but,

the word terrorism has been given a particular notion from America. it invokes thoughts of a foreign attacker etc: right now the image drawn in most people's minds is a rag on head wearing dark skinned person from the Middle East

i think thats what DarthCHilli was alluding too

just another witch hunt :devil:

So the two guys in tactical gear may be Navy Seals.

Section of King Street closed for police investigation | CTV Toronto News

It's all safe now. I am staying at a hotel half a block away... and used that same station exit a few hour ago.

Good that Toronto police is being more alert. I don't mind the inconvenience of road closures.

That's a Craft International hat. Unlikely they're SEALS, probably plain clothed police.

Hard to proclaim him as the guy who planted the bomb just cuz of him not having his backpack on in the picture on the right. Comparing the two pictures, the left pic, he has more open space so he can have his bag on and won't bump into anybody. But in the right pic, he is standing in the crowd, there is a person right behind him and his arms are infront of him[looks like he is holding his bag infront by his feet].

I was hearing they had interest of two people caught in various pictures one of whom was wearing a white hat, one with a back pack and one with a duffel bag. But they are refusing to release photos of who the actual people are at the moment.

rsx 04-17-2013 10:16 PM

yeah white hat looks shady as fuck.

the bag being put down (if it is the same location as the explosion)and his facial expression. /not an expert at all. just my opinion.

sorry dude, im wrong, you are right. this is the internet right?

but i see your point, the word "terrorism" gets thrown around too often, so its misleading and I offended you.

too fucking bad

Not really racist! 04-18-2013 12:54 PM

some interesting things.. here

explosion was the same date as... Lincoln assassination, sinking of Titanic, Hillsborough disaster, start of Tiananmen Square...

also a couple more they are irrelevant

inb4 conspiracy theory

Do you know these individuals? Contact boston@ic.fbi.gov or 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324), prompt #3

Harvey Specter 04-18-2013 01:44 PM

We should never assume...like the picture of the two Muslim looking guys was all that Fox News talked about yesterday claiming the picture was proof it was Islamic terrorist but from the pictures the FBI released it looks like it's two white guys and probably has nothing to do with Muslims.
