Media outlets cant get close to the area it has been said. They are probably digging finding whatever they can.
NECN is there. Been there for a while

Can't believe other stations aren't covering it. They been there most of the day because of the anniversary.

They "detonated" the bags but have not yet determined if they contained any explosives.
probably just somebody's picnic

but you have to err on the side of caution--given the circumstances.
Someone leaves

their picnic in a backpack unattended at the finish line of the Boston marathon on the one year anniversary of back packs being intentionally exploded near that exact same spot.

sure. you're probably right.

It might have just been an accident, but if so, possibly one of the most careless people on the planet today.
No Accident

Witnesses say he was wearing a long black veil and screaming "Boston Strong" over and over. Suspect in custody looks like a college kid. Might have been drunk, deranged or both. Sad attempt to get attention.
Better it's not on

These nut jobs like to watch their work/dirt on TV and in the media. Rolling Stone magazine is (can't find the words) on their cover then other sickos might be more motivated.

It's news but maybe better if it's not televised.
check out canton's link above  
Blue21 : 4/15/2014 9:51 pm : link
that's the suspect.My guess maybe there were no explosives in the bag but it sure wasn't school books.
redwhiteandbigblue....yes about college kid. And one of last years

bombers was a college kid also.
There seems to be

an angry nut bent on killing innocents and sometimes successful literally every day now. Was it really always like this or just more media coverage now? Smh...
Point well taken.

Only pointing out identity. Was not judging or trivializing. This hits too close to home for me. My daughter goes to college within a mile of there and I myself will be at Fenway on Monday and plan to walk to the finish line afterwards. Just sad about the circumstances tonight. It has been a terribly difficult year for Boston the past year and this only opens old wounds.
redwhiteandblue....i know you weren't judging  
Blue21 : 4/15/2014 10:16 pm : link
didn't mean it to sound like I thought you were.I actually was agreeing with your thoughts and then realize who last years bombers were. I plan on being at Fenway on Monday also.
Going to be a VERY emotional day  
redwhiteandbigblue : 4/15/2014 10:29 pm : link
Already warned my daughter she might see her old dad getting misty. The strength this city has shown over the past year never ceases to amaze me. What few people outside of Mass. and Maine realize, is that Patriots Day is possibly the most important holiday of the year in Mass. and Maine. What happened last year rocked this city to the core. Even though I live in NJ, I grew up in New England and have always felt a special connection to the people and city of Boston. I am looking forward to not only commemorating last years events, but celebrating the resiliency of the city and it's people.

Another example of the mentally ill that need to be treated but once become adults society turns their backs on till they do something this crazy. I guess his mom had been trying to get him services for a while
