Before I vote, what's the current state of misinformation about who has been arrested and how many devices were actually found? I can't keep up.

+1
That selection covers a lot of area.
Since nobody's claimed responsibility - and usually jihadists jump all the fuck over that - I'm gonna guess lone nut.
Pressure cooker salesman. Look at the sales to the reporters using them as props.
Options 3 and 5. 5 was more specific so voted that.
There seems to be a lot of overlap here, Yi. I predict that if it's a muslim then Congress will demand hearing, criticise the President for not being strong enough, and Rand Paul will tell everyone he meets that they should be fired, and the idea that "Democrats lets another terrorist attack happen", will bounce around long enough to be a feature of the next Presidential campaign. If it's not, they'll be more subdued like they are right now.

Quote from: Admiral Yi on April 17, 2013, 06:56:50 PM
AFAICT we got nothing.
I think they have said they've observed someone dropping a black backpack on a video near the site where one of the bombs went off, and they're looking for that person. Doesn't necessarily mean anything, it could be just a guy who sat a backpack down, although in a crowded event like that you don't really set your backpack down and leave if you ever want to see it again, so most likely that is the bomber. The fact they have said they only see him doing it by one of the bomb sites suggests they've found no video with him laying a backpack down by the other bomb site. That makes sense, carrying two backpacks at once may look suspicious for one, and would have been noticed on some video for sure. So most likely there's a second guy somewhere who sat his backpack down at the site of the second bomb, and maybe never was positioned in the crowd such that he could be seen by any of the cameras.
Also, I personally haven't seen them release the video in question or publicize images of the person. That makes me think the investigators are still in that phase where they think there is a chance they can find him on their own.

Why not? Bring the fight directly to the people, punish the sinners, etc. And crowds are much softer targets than government facilities. It's rational, especially for an inexperienced terrorist or one without great resources.
Quote from: derspiess on April 17, 2013, 08:50:41 PMYeah, I kind of got a kick out of that. They wasted no time distancing themselves from the attack.
That's satisfying.
Ever since Utøya I have stopped speculating on topics like this.

Ah, so your trolling got it. Sorry, I responded.

Oh, I thought you were naming Taxachusetts liberals as potential suspects :D
But anyway, no I'm not seeing that. Wouldn't rule it out, though. Wouldn't rule anything out at this point.

No, merely calling play by play of Fahdiz humiliating you.
Don't feel humiliated. Now that I know you are trolling, I can safely take what you say as a grain of salt.
I have a feeling it's one of the Obama hater group. A Muslim group would have been keen making a claim - and a point.

Likewise, but I'm no good at trolling. Unlike yourself. ;)
I think it's more humiliating to Fahdiz that he got drawn in to the web.

In no way. He merely responded to a personal attack from Raz.

Of course not. That why my responses on your humiliation are not a troll for you.

The phrase is actually, "with a grain of salt." From the ancient world in which some poison antidotes were given with a single grain of salt as this (was believed) to make them effective.
You may have noticed I mistype alot.

His arguement is pretty bizarre. We blamed a terrorist network when it was a terrorist network...therefore a double standard is at play? Also selective memory, law enforcement was all over the crazies and their militias after the McVeigh thing. And they are going nutso again after the Sandy Hook thing. Not to mention the fact McVeigh blew up a building in BFE Oklahoma City while AQ took down the World freaking Trade Center and the Pentagon. Besides he is acting like all of us are the racist assholes who went out and did anti-Muslim shit after 9/11....I mean really whatever the lowest scum of America does is all of us? We are all KKK!

Talk about selective memory, indeed--people overplay that whole we-suspected-Muslims-at-Oklahoma-City-at-first thing waaaaay too much.
That rumor and possibility--not even circulated by most news organizations--was pretty much snuffed out by 2pm that day, even by the press; I was still on the force at the time, and the FBI guys that came in and briefed us in the middle of the double shifts that day were talking Waco sympathizers and a very localized threat because it was a Federal building in the mid-west on April 19th. They considered it a very, very weak possibility that there could be Islamic fundie connections like WTC 1993.

Well terrorist network was applied fairly broadly and people's connections were pretty loose.

I mean, in the sense that I hope it's anyone, I "hope" the motive right-wing extremists, because it could stand to be further discredited. Radical Islam is already thoroughly discredited and we don't need a minor event to keep our civilizational war alive.

Random nut/bored kid.
Now that would truly be anti-climatic: some little emo shit without the balls to stay home to cut himself to My Chemical Romance, trying to whack his girlfriend or impress Jodi Foster.
I'd think that would be pretty terrifying, that a totally off the radar kid who feels disenfranchised with life could up and decide to do something so big.
