Explosion at the Boston Marathon

[Weiser Wonder]

That was less thought out than the moon landing conspiracy theory.

The only thing interesting about those pics is the level to which a person can delude themselves.

[Ducay]

People don't actually believe junk like that do they? Honestly, I'd love to see a study to see the correlation between conspiracy belief and mental illness. Gotta be up near 90% I'd imagine.

That link is only interesting if you're an idiot. The pictures captioned as Suspect 1 being arrested and Suspect 1 being escorted away... Aren't even Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

Wow that has to be the most idiotic site I've read in a long time. The naked guy that was on the ground wasn't even the suspect for f's sake.

Even for conspiracy theorists crackpots that was absolutely pathetic.

Good on the Bruins for showing their commitment to the first responders and everyone else who has persevered through the bombing and its aftermath. It's sort of sad that all the attention has gone to the Red Sox, and Ortiz's F-bomb during his speech, but it's not really that big of deal.

Too bad Marchand couldn't have been more to the left in that picture so we could have seen what a fisheye lens would do to his nose.

And great job Bruins.

But there are photos of unidentified men with black backpacks. Who are they???????

Yup.

The picture of "Suspect #1" being escorted away is clearly a different person. The guy being escorted away has no body hair, while the corpse clearly has lots of chest hair. The person in the photo is also very tall. Notice how is taller than the officers around him, despite not having any shoes on. The person being escorted away also has far less body fat.....

A better question is why am I wasting my time on this crap.

[Muta]

Only thing that looks legit in that Imgur page is the blown-up backpack. It looks very similar to the one that is on the CRAFT dude. The white tag on the top is there.

[FlamesAddiction]

I find it weird that they all calling an IED made from a pressure cooker a "weapon of mass destruction". He is charged with using a WMD to kill people.

I can't find a legal definition of a WMD, but to me, that isn't what I would consider one.

[QuadCityImages]

The two military-looking guys with backpacks were said to be undercover security, which is certainly what they look like. I believe there are pictures of them standing near the finish line wearing the backpacks AFTER the bombing, so certainly misleading.

I feel like the people who make the "Back to the future day was today!" hoaxes have branched out into trolling conspiracy theory morons.

He killed three people and injured almost 200 more.

Seems like mass.

I still think the terminology is bizarre. That would mean that every bomb (including ones used in legitimate warfare) are WMDs, but you never hear it put that way. It seems in the past that it was reserved for nuclear weapons. If this is the definition, then almost every civilian has WMD materials in their kitchen.

[metallicat]

Did anyone see Senator Greg Ball of NY on Piers Morgan just now?. Good lord, what a buffoon. Who elects these idiots? And it has nothing really to do with his opinion that the surviving bomber should be tortured, but with the way he conducts himself in an interview.

[CalgaryFan1988]

All of these "everything that happens is a conspiracy" people are getting a little ridiculous.
I'm all for keeping an open mind, but believing everything being a conspiracy, then telling people to keep an open mind is hypocrisy.

[Azure]

I guess people don't want to believe that it was just damn fine police work.
