Today, in Massachusetts & New Hampshire (& one other New England state I think) it is Patriot's Day, a very important holiday in those states that celebrate. Schools are closed, parades, pageantry. This celebrates the American Revolution.
I remember reading of a new & different Patriot's Day, re: 9/11, but the New England one is the original & celebrated many years. The Boston Marathon is always run on Patriot's Day, if I remember correctly, having lived in both NH & MA.

Another bomb went off at the JFK Library
no one was affected/hurt by this bomb
officials feel it was related to the Marathon bombs.

I'm familiar with the Patriot's Day - it's also Tax Day 15th.

There was an older person that was nearly to the finish line when one of the bombs went off nearly right beside him and his legs went all wobbly. The way he landed, I was afraid of a fractured ankle. Small potatoes compared to the rest but that one image is stuck in my mind.

I'm hoping it's a home grown attack, NRA inspired, to prove it's not only guns that kill people. Time will tell.
Pennsylvania Ave. in D.C. is closed.
I hate this. Arms, legs blown right off people. The Marathon was honoring Newtown today.

I heard they found two unexploded devices, they should be able to figure out who was responsible pretty fast by examining them. We probably won't hear about it for a while though...

I'm going to reserve judgment on that, the Post is right up there with the Daily Mail and I can't find any other reputable news sources reporting it.

"Other" reputable news sources? Are you implying the NYPost is one? Another NewsCorp/Murdoch acquisition. Disreputable.

All sources seem to link back to Fox. I'll wait before I believe it. Three sources list the hospital where "PofI" is being held as 3 different hospitals.
Freudian slip! "festive joyful defeat." Certainly turned out that way Patsy!

As I was viewing the photos the thought crossed my mind that if America wants to behave like Israel, we'll be treated like Israel. It looked frighteningly like Israel where these sort of bombing seem to be common.
I fear we'll have to begin to get used to this sort of thing unless we change or treatment of others.

Also!, I highly respect your opinions. You often say very wise things. This was not one of them.
I won't ever "get used" to violence. I won't condone it. I won't ignore it. I won't be desensitized to it or try to understand it.
I abhor violence. I detest it. I despise it. For any cause or for any side.
I stood against it when I was a child. I thought I could fight violence with violence when I was a young man. In my middle age I dealt with it. Now that I am old, I understand that violence has never been a solution to any problem. In my life or the world's.
It has cost me friends, relationships, jobs, and homes. It has gained me blood, stitches, loss, heartbreak, and jail time. As far as I can tell, there is no good use for violence in any situation.
And to imply that, somehow, due to events, innocent people deserve violence is insulting to me.
Insulting, tragic, misguided, and misspoken.

Insulting, tragic, misguided, and misspoken.I don't understand this post. I never said anyone deserved to be treated violently. Instead, what I wrote was that unless we as a nation commit to changing our treatment of other nations (i.e. invading other countries militarily and/or commercially), I fear this sort of thing might continue to befall us.

I cant see any mileage in the IRA operating in the US and detonating nail bombs. Its where their biggest support would be. They may however passed on some of their expertise.
