Home grown. I'm saying with 99% certainty it was an American that did this. They'll get the bomber, or at least find out who did it.

Wow, I just checked out both bomb location on google maps, with street view. And both the bombs went of excatly where a green mail collector stood. I'm not familiar enough with those things to know if you can shove a package in those things. But if it's possible I think I found the place where the bombs were hidden.
Also the building with the guy walking on the roof is only 1 building further than where explosion 2 took place.

This shit rubs me the wrong way. I absolutely can't stand terrorism of any sort whether it's domestic or foreign.

Terrorist attack. Domestic. Just some asshole that's having a bad day or is messed up and decides to kill some people. This world is going to shit, I think we'll blow ourselves off the earth in the next 500 years.

This is what Patton Oswalt had to say.
Boston. Fucking horrible.
I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, "Well, I've had it with humanity."
But I was wrong. I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.
But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness.
But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.
So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, "The good outnumber you, and we always will."

If this is true, chances are the bombs were in/under the mail boxes. So, in theory, all they have to do is review the tapes, and find the same person put something in both boxes. Now, if there wasnt the same person at both boxes, that would mean there were 2 or more individuals involved, and that could possibly mean more bombings in the next week or so. This world has some dark and twisted people in it, and in the states, its much, much easier to obtain dangerous goods (weapons, fire arms, chemicals, etc.) than in other places in the world. Who ever did it, and whatever their motive was, I hope they get found and made to realize what they have done to many, many lives, although, unfortunately, its not going to be awhile or that easy to find who did this.

"what is this world coming to?" "this world is going to shit". Really? A minuscule amount of bad people compared to good. Likely 1 or 2 people carried out this attack. And a large group of people running in to offer help to those who were injured, seconds after the bombs went off. We shouldn't let the bad people in this world over shadow the mass amount of good people.

I completly agree with you, but really this world is starting to go to shit with these kind of attacks. Like today, somebody called my school saying that tthey are going to come in and shoot 20 people. But there are still some good people, but it is a very meager amount!

Exquisitely said, Devin.
It's truly amazing how evil some people can become, and it baffles me more every day. Glad to see so many people, both American or otherwise, interested in this most recent attack. Gives me hope for the human race.

When I here people say the world is coming to shit it just seems like a comment that was jumped to with out much thought. Learning things in history class have taught me how gruesome people have been with their killings, like France when they had the guillotine, the Nazi party with the Holocaust, stoning people to death around the era from 0-1150 A.D. People have been gruesome for as long as humanity has been around and I don't think the world is coming to shit, I think there are bad people out there but we have to keep our integrity and do our best to be good people so that we can live as peacefully as possible and stay strong as a whole.
