I don't think anyone can really say that with any certainty to actually draw the conclusion that this is more likely to be the case or not. If you do have that certainty in your own mind, I'm suggesting that it likely represents a bias, because I do not see any evidence to point that one is more likely than another.

Not sure if anyone follows Anonymous on twitter or not but constant flow of info, not sure how accurate they are or if they are part of the problem that I think is wrong with social media.

As such I'm not going to post anything from them

Ugly stuff. Boston Globe reporting over 100 injured.

Too late - Wolf Blitzer suggesting the Tea Party may have had something to do with it.

Regardless of who did this, the state always capitalizes on violence by cracking down on civil liberties and the US is a prime example of that.

What does that mean? IT obviously happened within their own borders. The point is that jumping to a conclusion about who or what is behind it doesn't make any sense at this point.

Seeing the explosions, I think things could have been a lot worse. I imagine the death toll will rise though and that some people will succumb to injuries. Just a terrible day.

I was just gonna say but was afraid to agree with you because I would get flamed.

Most people are going to jump to conclusions though. History is repeating itself.

I'm not saying with any certainty because I don't know. But given the history and going off of that, if I was going to speculate, I'd say more likely domestic. But that will all come out with the investigation and I'll wait for that. I've heard so many conspiracy theories already... It all just makes me incredibly sad.

We are only a few days away from Oklahoma city bombing and Waco siege anniversary.

Wrong again Mikey. Looks like this may be who everyone thought it would be.

Because I'm sure Mikey didn't jump to any conclusions when Bengahzi happened....please.

Bombing in Boston on 4/15 (Tax Day) and same week as Oklahoma City bombing (4/19/95) and Waco siege (4/19/93). @thenation

If not, ....Iran did it.

Just stop,there's lots of time for the Alex Jones cult to start making videos with idiotic conspiracies. Now is not the time.

The New York Post isn't even suitable as hamster bedding.

Oh of course they are, but that doesn't mean it isn't foolish to do so.

[CaptainCrunch]

Looking at the video of the explosion, its not a small device, that looks like its the equivalent of a full stick of dynamite.

Wonder if it was command detonated instead of timed.

[Minnie]

Mikey where did he say that? He's been on my TV since I turned it to the reports and he hasn't said a word about who he thinks it is. So far all I've heard is multiple speculation from all the commentators/"experts" that it could be domestic, could be internationally based.

Just this instant though, he read a report from the Pentagon that says they have nothing 'on the wire' about any specific international threat.

Better?

Or do you want me to cite, the other 50 sources reporting it too?
