The Boston Marathon is a race that the world watches and now all races are going to be seen as targets.  What about protests.  Are they going to blow us up while protesting.  I hope not,  its a wonder the global elite have not tried this as a way to get rid of us do gooders from under their feet.

 

The New York Post screws up again!

The Boston Bombing Witch Hunt Bags Another Innocent Kid

On Monday, the New York Post doggedly stuck to its claim that 12 were killed in the Boston Marathon bombings. On Tuesday, CNN (among others) reported that a suspect had been arrested, before walking that all the way back. Today, the Post wrests back the "what the fuck are you doing?" crown by putting two "potential suspects" on the cover of the newspaper. They are most assuredly innocent.

The pair show up in multiple photos of the finish line. They carry large bags. They are dark-skinned. This was enough for internet sleuths to peg them as suspicious. (They show up here, in Gawker's rundown of "suspects" identified by crowdsourcing on Reddit and 4chan.) And that was apparently enough for the Post to run with its front-page story today, claiming investigators are circulating photos of the two. (The photo on the paper's cover is a cropped and zoomed-in version of the one taken by Ben Levine, which appeared on Deadspin on Tuesday.)

But maybe there was a reason for them to be at the marathon, wearing track jackets and carrying bags: they're runners.

The kid in the blue jacket is a middle-distance runner at Revere High School. Last week he ran the two-mile in 11:20.\

SUNDAY UPDATE 21 APRIL  ....From The New York Post

He could run, but he couldn't hide.
Massachusetts state police today released infrared images they used to spot Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as he hid under a boat cover during yesterday's massive manhunt in Watertown.
The cameras used by the Air Wing allowed cops to keep their eyes on Tsarnaev at all times as they closed in on the 19-year-old, accused in the deadly bomb attack in Boston that killed three and wounded more than 180 others just days earlier.

Tsarnaev, 19, was reported to be in no condition to be interrogated the morning after he was pulled, wounded and bloody, from a tarp-covered boat in a Watertown backyard. The capture came at the end of a tense day that began with his older brother, Tamerlan, dying in a desperate getaway attempt.
The all-day manhunt Friday brought the Boston area to a near standstill and put people on edge across the metropolitan area.
The break came around nightfall when a homeowner in Watertown saw blood on his boat, pulled back the tarp and saw a bloody Dzhokhar Tsarnaev hiding inside, police said. After an exchange of gunfire, he was seized and taken away in an ambulance.
The pair of bomb blasts near the marathon's finish line killed an 8-year-old boy, Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell, 29, and Lu Lingzi, 23. More than 180 people were injured, including some who lost legs in the attack.
Tsarnaev allagedly carried out the bomb attacks with his older brother, Tamerlan, who was killed by police during a desperate getaway attempt earlier that day.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has not yet been charged.
The Obama administration has indicated it intends to move quickly to build a criminal case against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. But investigators plan to first question him without informing him of his legal rights to remain silent and have an attorney present.
Several Republican lawmakers on Saturday criticized the administration's approach because they said it would afford Tsarnaev more rights than he deserves. The federal public defender for Massachusetts called for the quick appointment of a lawyer to represent Tsarnaev because of serious issues involving his interrogation in the absence of a lawyer.

"Five to Fifteen believed dead in Fertilizer plant blast

"We know that we've had at least 160-plus injuries that have been treated at the hospital," Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton told reporters at 4:35 a.m. He said the estimated death toll ranges from 5 to 15.

A Facebook page was made in memory of several firefighters who reportedly perished in the blast.
The blast happened around 8 p.m. at the West Fertilizer plant at 1471 Jerry Mashek Drive, about a half-mile east of Interstate 35.
Shortly before 10 p.m., a dispatcher was advising emergency crews to move away from the burning plant due to concern about chemicals in unexploded tanks.

SUNDAY UPDATE: from WWFA..com

Some residents of West, Texas were allowed to return to their homes starting at 3 p.m. Saturday after delays caused by concerns that chemicals at the West Fertilizer plant might still pose a threat.
"Everything is safe, safe and safe," Mayor Pro Tem Steve Vanek said at a mid-afternoon news conference.
Vanek said Saturday night that search and rescue teams did not find  any additional victims in the ruins of Wednesday's massive explosion that killed 14 people and left more than 200 others injured.
But West residents whose homes are closest to the site of Wednesday's powerful blast are not yet cleared to go in.
Officials did not address reasons for multiple delays on Saturday, nor did they discuss concerns about any lingering hazards at the blast site.
Law enforcement issued a warning earlier Saturday after tanks began leaking gas, causing small fires.
The fires were being contained, but a source said federal authorities want to make certain there is no chance for another explosion.
"The site is safe," said Assistant State Fire Marshal Kelly Kistner at a Saturday evening news briefing. "There are no safety concerns out on the site."
He said, however, that officials would begin removing some chemical storage tanks from the fertilizer plant property on Saturday night so the investigation into the cause can continue.
"We have to figure out where the fire started, what caused the fire," Kistner said, adding there is no indication yet of any criminal activity.
