      For what it's worth, bombings are happening every day elsewhere in the world. But in the US, granted, it's an uncommon sight. Quite sad. (That it happened, not that it's uncommon!)

      I was watching coverage of the Boston incident and the news ticker said "Explosions across Iraq leave 24 dead". But it's only brown people, right? The priority of those stories should have been reversed.

    Tea Party activists have all had peaceful, clean protests.

    Occupiers like yourself have however smashed windows, set fire to things and attacked police. They've also attacked a Democratic party HQ in a false flag attack.

    So if we had to choose a domestic source for the attack, it would very likely be some group you admire responsible. In fact it could very well be someone like yourself trying to set up the Tea Party... with any luck you posted from a traceable IP because it's very likely whoever did this would be online monitoring posts about it, as you are.
