BillyVance 34 #4 April 15, 2013 Yeah I just saw that. Looked like a runner got hit by shrapnel just a few feet from the finish line. So I guess the question now is, who the fuck did this? Al Qaida IRA sympathizers White supremacists militia groups (like the OKC bombing) "Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I just read, it looks like the PD have urged race spectators to evacuate the race area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #12 April 15, 2013 Quote Boston PD telling people to evacuate the city. Source? All I've found is a couple hotels in the area being evacuated, and an unreliable note that they found another device in one of them. This does match up with NYC now ramping up their hotel security though. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a crime scene, and they've found at least one more unexploded device in the vicinity. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
