It is NOT a fact. Please stop. They DO have a suspect, a Saudi national, in custody. It is a fact. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it untrue. I offered citations. If you have evidence that this is not true, please share with us.
This has not been reported as a fact. The fact that it has been reported is not even arguable. If you question the source because of whatever emotional rationale you have, be my guest. Or you can just keep trying to pretend it away while attacking the messenger.

They haven't caught anyone or have a Saudi suspect , there are only 2 confirmed dead and now 100+ people hurt.

Did you look at the link that was posted not 10 minutes ago? Boston PD tells everyone that NY doesn't have the right info very clearly.

Dude, I provided a link. You act as though I just invented it.

last i heard, 5 bombs and 2 dead. 3 bombs went off, 1 was "controlled detonated" (but all that really tells us is something set the dog off, so maybe no bomb at all.) and 1 was being dismantled as of about 15 minutes ago.
i didn't go into town for the marathon, but my best friend left for his honeymoon today out of logan... i'm not even sure if i should call him? i'm pretty sure they'd have been long gone by the time this went off and do i wanna worry them needlessly on their honeymoon?
as for whodunnit... we're not the police/homeland security... i'm gonna watch adventure time, try not to lose my ***, and worry about that once somebody actually KNOWS something as opposed to just THINKS something.

Tenshi, the "facts" that you are spreading hold no merit and are widely disputed or just plain false. Every major news outlet is all over this. Your link is the ONLY piece of "information" that is quoted as saying 12 fatalities and more than 50 injured. Everything else states 2 deaths and roughly 49 injured. Also it's the only piece of information that is quoted as as having a suspect. I watched the Boston Police chief state specifically that there are NO suspects as of now and are working to find out who is responsible.

The spread of propaganda is as bad if not worse than creating it.
That being said this isn't what this thread is for so we should all drop it.

There is bound to be conflicting information at this time, but the reaction that mine must be false but yours must be true is very telling.

it really seems to me that the ny post is simply trying to politicize the whole incident. thats very distasteful, especially to the people who have family or friends injured etc. because of it.
At least thats how it seems to be to me.

Can't you just accept being corrected and get over it? I'm sure people here care more about the incident than this stupid quarrel.

The major news channels are just about on the same page. The police have their list of usual suspects which may include muslims.

Yes, if you bothered to read Peelbo's link, the Boston Police Department saying they do not have any suspects atm is in response to NY Post saying they do.

Unfortunately, that's what all national tragedy threads degenerate to. :(
I think the only collective "hooray" thread was the "Osama! We finally got him!" one.

I was not trying to politicize it so much as mention the report of a suspect, at which point my stalker had to start up again.

Maybe it was a typo... 49 and 50 quite close... maybe it just added a 1 in front of that 2...

Yes, if you bothered to read Peelbo's link, the Boston Police Department saying they do not have any suspects atm is in response to NY Post saying they do. Which was updated less than 10 minutes ago with the Boston PD spokesperson reiterating that they still do not have anyone in custody.

I have new rumors, and I stress, these are just rumors that there was an explosion at a train station with several fatalities. I recall hearing something about a train station earlier today but I would think that it would be televised if it were true. He's saying that they haven't televised it due to not wanting to cause public panic.
*Edit* My source is a friend from Massachusetts if that means anything.

My body is ready for the next three months of "Obama did it! I just know he did because i saw him hit the detonator from the white house!" and "ITS AN ATTACK FROM A NORTH KOREAN MUSLIM WHO WAS HIRED BY OBAMA TO PUSH HIS ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN THAT WILL SMEAR THE INK OF THE CONSTITUTION!"
Just hoping we dont have a massive fear mongering death spike into the thousands that isnt true, for the people at homes' sake.

yeah and you were so concerned about this that you rushed to a Final Fantasy forum to find pertinent information especially in regards to your own safety.

No, Bush did because you know, he was the president at the time.
