Two bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon
Horrible event.. it's on all of the Networks.. Channel 4 Boston has live coverage.. actually pulled some of the live video as '"too gruesome"

So far there has also been at least one controlled detonation of another suspected device.

The fire at The JFK Library seems too coincidental.

I saw the same about the JFK, but Faux News Boston is still reporting it as a bomb at JFK as of 5 minuets ago.

Horrific
This is very scary. the JFK incident has been discounted as unrelated. It appears they are finding other devices.
Tune into Boston AM WRKO 680 for continuing coverage. You can find it on the internet and tune in radio on mobile devices. These reports can change with new information.

I'm curious as to how you think we might be encouraging this type of thing. Unless we want to give up our essential liberties and live in a police state, there's always going to be a risk that some a**hole is going to do something crazy. And unless you're pretty high up in state or local law enforcement or employed by a three letter federal agency, you have no idea what kind of intelligence gathering, threat assessment and counter-terrorism operations are going on to keep us safe.

My company does the sound, electric power and timing for the Boston Marathon. I have been on the race committee since 1983. The clocks across the finish line are ours. If you watch the videos on TV you see a scissors lift right next to the blast. That is where our speakers are and where I was standing. Thankfully all my employees are ok. I have a ruptured ear drum but all in all that is no big deal. I saw some terrible things in the minutes after the blast.

why change the subject

I think we can all agree that our current government has issues and needs fixing, this thread isn't about that, but what happened at the marathon. TMI from past experience I have learned the best way to stop it is to ignore the comments and move on.

I'm glad to hear you are ok. My step-son usually volunteers at the race via his fraternity. This year he choose to see the Sox game and just entered the T just before the explosions hit. He lost his cell and we had a few tense hours trying to locate him. The campus police finally tracked him down and he called us. |

What happened yesterday regardless of who perpetrated it was terrorism, I find it fascinating that the president's comments later on that day omitted the obvious. While I have no desire to may political hay out of such a despicable act - the fact it happened doesn't surprise or shock me in the least. Why? Because until the political correctness gets out of the way of identifying what causes this behavior to occur history is destined to repeat itself. My heartfelt condolences to the families of those that lost loved ones, and to those that were injured my prayers for their families who will be forever changed as a result of this. Finally BI, thankfully you were not hurt bad. |

I do believe that the President's comments were very carefully worded as to not offend anyone (as usual) and his continued refusal to call it what it is to me is telling. Being able to vocalize the cause is step one. Apparently we aren't there yet, and in today's world that's a scary thought. I am not making political hay out of this, just stating observations. I have not made any disparaging comments in regards to any politician with the exception of the president's comments which is hardly political and my comment was simply an observation. |

What bothers me
Is that for a month the media will run the same news over and over again making sure none of us forget it. I've already talked to a couple of others this morning that say enough is enough, unless there is new information why make those who knew someone who was injured of worse relive this by running the same pictures and video across the TV screen.

Ya, but the media are vultures. Did you happen to catch some of the questions on Fox. Oh and what about the guy who lost his son while his wife and daughter are both in the hospital? Ya the road had to be taped off to prevent the vultures from invading his privacy. It is pathetic what lengths the media will go to get a story in this day. In many cases what they report is found to be unfounded.

Marathon bombs
I live in one of the towns that was in lockdown yesterday. It was frightening. Fortunately, the second suspect has been caught. The law enforcement officers from Boston, Watertown, FBI etc. did an unbelievable job and we can't thank them enough. On Thursday there was a very moving Interfaith Prayer Service at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. Ministers from several faiths participated and spoke. We continue to pray for the deceased and the many who will spend a lifetime healing from their wounds.

No, not concerned!
Quote:
Look at the mesage this appropriate and swift justice sends to any potential future terrorists. Don't try this or any similar act of terrorism, we will hunt you down and bring you to justice! The only negative here is that the second subject was not killed during the capture. Now we (taxpayers) can hire a lawyer for him, pay for a shrink, and house him for the next 60 or so years at a cost in the millionsof dollars. No, I'm not concerned at all! Great job by all of those involved! |

"One 19 year old"?
"One 19 year old"?!?!?!!
Who, along with his older brother, killed three people and injured over a hundred? (and that's just the physical injuries - doesn't count the emotional scars to so many more). Who, along with his brother, assassinated an MIT officer who wasn't a threat to them? Who, along with his brother, were tossing IED's along a populated street? Whose brother had tried to detonate a suicide vest in an attempt to kill who knows how many more? Who was in a populated neighborhood, with - in all likelihood - additional explosives? No, I am not at all concerned with the number of officers that worked together to get that "one 19 year old". |

I predict that he will plea deal for giving information and be given life. 60 years or so of him thinking about how he ran over his brothers body should give him sweet dreams.
As far as the public safety exemption of Miranda, it does exist. I am an LEO and I am allowed to ask a suspect who is under arrest questions like "where's the gun or where are there more IED's" (such as this case) prior to Miranda warnings. The PS exemption is really self explanatory, but some people have watched too many tv cop shows and apply what they see there to reality. It's very frustrating to us in law enforcement.

HomeWood, as a LEO, maybe you can answer some questions that I have.
When the tactical teams were going door-to-door in Watertown, did they need consent from the homeowners/occupants in order to enter the homes and conduct a search? If not, what exception to the 4th amendment applies in a situation such as this? Was the shelter in place message from the governor (or whoever issued it) an order, or a request? If it was an order, under what authority (short of imposing martial law) can a government official order the citizens of a large city and four surrounding communities to stay inside? If citizens of Boston, Cambridge, Watertown, etc. had been found walking on the sidewalk yesterday, would they have been subject to arrest or detention? These are not rhetorical questions. Without their ability to use 20/20 hindsight, I'm not surprised by the level of force that was brought to bear yesterday by the police and federal agencies. The suspects had already demonstrated the ability and willingness to kill and maim large numbers of innocent people, and nobody at the time knew if the remaining suspect (and possibly accomplices) had the capability to do even more. But, I don't think it's ever wrong to ask questions about how far our government can legally go in its efforts to protect those who have given their consent to be governed. The ends do not always justify the means. |

I don't know what might change if something is considered a military operation or something like that. That's out of my league. 2) Sounded like more of a request than an order because there were many citizens out and about that I saw on TV and there was no word of them being arrested. If it was an enforceable order, I'm sure it would have been made very very clear at the press briefings. Obviously most people took the request seriously and abided by it, which was very helpful to the efforts of all the LE agencies working. The efforts made yesterday by all LE agencies involved were normal and everyday police practices to find a wanted person, but just on a much larger scale! Nobody bats an eye when a single neighborhood block is shut down to search for somebody, we do it all the time. Therefore, it looked unfamiliar and ok, concerning for some. This "massive power" has always existed. You saw numerous agencies working together outside of their jurisdictions, because of a thing called mutual aid. The outside agencies like Boston PD and NH State police, etc were cloaked under Watertown's police authority when officially requested to assist them (that's how NC works too. See the Dem Nat'l convention in Charlotte as an example). Feds and Mass Stateys obviously have jurisdition to begin with. This person is/was extremely dangerous and if the precautions taken for him were not done and another person was hurt or worse.....then what? Last edited by HomeWood; 04-21-2013 at 02:08 AM. |

...and... 1) I'm about in the middle on this, having followed this operation on the on-line scanner. I'd be quick to want the perp's discovery should the perp be somewhere on my property; however, those asserting their 4th Amendment rights will receive a notation somewhere in police and public records. On the other hand, it was the Feds who granted the asylums and student visas that precipitated all this. 2) Multi-agency officers set up a perimeter with tank-like vehicles—milled about—and a citizen calls-in the perp's presence outside the perimeter! ______________________________________ BTW I: Both perps walked from the bombing scene. The living perp somehow managed to drive their hijacked SUV ahead and "finished-off" his handcuffed brother while trying to run over police at that subsequent crime scene. (By then, the police had run out of ammunition). BTW II: The family has a shoplifting history at the Natick Lord & Taylor's. BTW III: Anyone see what two movie stars attended the same school as the perp? |

A huge shocker these guys are tied to and involved with radical Islamic terrorist organisations as if that was ever really in doubt from the moment this happened, but I'll digress from the "obvious" and move on.
This is a really tough call in measuring the response of law enforcement versus the rights of the people. The feds, local and state LEO's are all sworn to protect the public and there is no doubt the public needed protection from these two guys. At the same time the people have rights to. I think any prudent thinking individual would deduce that the situation warranted the response. Nobody knew what these two were capable of, what if any assistance they may have had, things were developing quickly and these guys were on the run so a very dynamic situation to say the least. However make no mistake about it, clearly they had no regard for human life and in a densely populated urban environment there isn't a whole lot of options other than take these guys down asap with deadly force or more innocent people could pay the ultimate price. If they hadn't come in with overwhelming force and additional people were killed I think there would have been hell to pay, at the same time I think some are giving them hell for over doing it and that's not fair. Well the way I look at it, in a situation like this rather see to much than not enough. One final thought, there is a BIG difference between the man hunt for these guys and potential constitutional rights of the people being violated versus the same thing occurring without any just cause or due process. So kudos the all the LEO's involved in taking these guys down, they did a great job. The media on the other hand big fat zero in my book, they all failed miserably to accurately report the hard news. |

I'm not too concerned about the shutdown that occurred to search for these guys. I'm very concerned about the shutdown in Massachusetts that occurred during the big snowstorm we had a few months ago where the Governor instituted a fine if you were caught driving.
That being said, I think we need to be very careful as rights are potentially infringed in the name of safety. There needs to be a line drawn as to when this type of action is justified and when it is not, right now that line seems very blurry. |

I finally got to the Finish Line Saturday to shut down and remove some of our equipment. Had to wear white bio suits, booties and rubber gloves and have an FBI escort. The timing computers were still reckoning the time since the starts to the thousandth of a second.
Sometimes it is the little things that get to you. In the middle of the announcers table was a sandwich with one bite out of it. This photo of my wife and I was taken a few minutes before everything changed. |

At one point on the scanner I heard a call go out for officers to report how long they've been on duty (if over 9 hours). Someone came on and said something like 28 hours.....at some point that get's dangerous all by itself.

"this despicable act" "this was an act of terror, regardless of who is responsible" "We have no idea right now what motivated the coward(s) responsible." Does that sound like I'm "defending these guys"? It's just that things usually go better when facts are used as the basis for a discussion. |

I agree the media has been terrible.
False reports time and time again.
During this event we really noticed just how bad WMUR is with reporting. We have seen stories unfold in NH where many of the stations out of state are much more informed with what happen then our own local station. What really bothered us was just how much time WMUR put into reporting about this bombing over and over and over again. During this time we had a tragic accident in Laconia that left a young girl dead and her friend in the hospital in serious condition yet almost no time was given to this story.

Anybody else see police activity Fri AM at the Rest Area just before Tilton on 93 N?
We got up early Friday morning to head to the Lake for the weekend to open up the cottage and as we were getting everything ready to go, we heard the news of what was developing in Watertown. We left RI around 6AM.
Needless to say, instead of listening to music for the ride up like we normally do, we had on news radio for the entire 3.5 hr trip... There were noticeably a lot of state troopers and other police vehicles along the highway in different areas, especially around the Mass Pike area of Rt.495... At this time, early Friday morning - the 2nd bomber was still on the loose and his whereabouts were unknown. The most interesting part of the ride up was when we were traveling 93 N, somewhere after Concord but before Tilton, around 9:00 -two State Police vehicles flew by us, with their lights on. Then a few minutes later, 2 more go flying by, these two seemed to be going even faster than the first two... We were starting to really wonder what was going on now. Then we notice that the 2nd two vehicles were getting off the rest area exit, the rest area just before Tilton, the rest area we usually make a stop at... Well, we decided we would not stop there today. Then, two more State Police vehicles go by, again with their lights on, and again even faster than the others -we were traveling 75mph and they went by us like we were stopped! So, as we drive by this rest area, the state troopers (all 6 of them) are surrounding a tractor trailer and a man (who I'm assuming was the truck driver) was walking away from the cab, backwards, with his hands in the air. I wish I thought of videoing this, but all happened so fast, and I was truly kinda scarred at this point, especially because at the time, the 2nd guy was still on the run, or so we thought. Was he in this tractor trailer? Here in NH?? I don't know if this was related to Friday morning's happenings or not -maybe it was just a random check? or maybe it was an unrelated crime? I never heard or saw anything about it, either in the newspaper or on the news. Anybody else out there see any of this? |

I agree with the webmaster and and your new post NoBozo is out of line. It has nothing to do with Lake Winipesaukee and the lakes region. Time to shut down the thread.

This does have something to do with Lake Winnipesaukee and...
Why do you think that for some folks who live in the lakes region and were directly impacted by this event should not be discussed? It's not just about the houses on the lake but also the people who live in them. Mr. Webmaster, please do not drop this thread.

Last time I checked, the Constitution still applies in the lakes region. So, a discussion here of whether or not we should be worried about infringements on our constitutional rights (in the lakes region, of course) may very well be appropriate. Of course, the Webmaster makes the final call on that.

......arrgghhhh.....I'll probably get slammed for bringing this item up but here goes .....here's a New Hampshire connection to the Boston Marathon bombing......On February 6, 2013, the older brother purchased a $199.99 firework item containing four launch tubes and 24 black powder shells from Phantom Fireworks in Seabrook, NH. For buying this one item, he received a second similar item for free in a 'buy one-get one free promo deal.'
Do Massachusetts stores have fireworks items like this item for sale? Maybe he travelled the 45-minutes to one hour-drive time from Cambridge, MA to Seabrook, NH, depending on traffic, to avoid the Massachusetts 6.25% sales tax or more likely, it's because Mass has no fireworks stores (is this correct?)? Suggest you read about it in today's April 24 New York Daily News which includes a photo of the fireworks item and the store in Seabrook, NH. www.nydailynews.com This particular firework item is described on the box as "barely legal." www.fireworks.com for Phantom Fireworks

FLL - no fireworks allowed down in Mass. No stores, no nothin.
Not to fan the smodelring fire here but there is (in my mind at least) a BIG difference between searching a house under "Exigent circumstance" and forceing the residents/owners out at gun point. I think the 4th Amendament was clearly violated if that is the case. Personally I had been thinking all along that the response level was a little over the top. I know hind sight is 20/20 but look at how he was actually apprehended in the end - local citizen/local cops. Was it an opportunity for a power play by the gov't - you bet - did they take that opportunity - you bet.

My understanding is that the MIT officer who died had family in Lakes Region and I would guess other victims also had connections to the lake as well so let's all take a moment to pay some respect to him and all those hurt in the bombings.

This is a lakes region web-site, this has nothing at all to do with the lakes region. Just because there is a personal tie doesn't make it a lakes region subject. This is exactly why many of the older members of the forum have left. For me it's more entertainment.

I remove threads all the time that are unrelated to the Lakes Region. Since 9/11 I have also made exceptions for monumental events. This monumental event happened very close to home and directly affected many of our members. I do try to contain the comments within a single thread and they are usually closed after everyone has had a chance to comment. If I had removed this thread and prevented any comments about the bombings I would have been harshly criticized and probably lost more members than if I allowed it.

Sometimes the needle in the haystack is missed at first. Watertown and the surrounding area is a large haystack to secure and search. It's not surprising that he managed to sneak around undetected for so long. Sometimes suspects are able to "double back" in a search area. I've seen it happen numerous times in person.

Heard the opposite

I used to live north of Route 16 but in the same general area as the shootout and search. It would be relatively easy to slip from yard to yard in the dark of night, but the area is hemmed in by major roads and a river.

I get up early for work as I commute from Bow to Cambridge. Fri 4/19 I was on the road and started hearing the news. I didn't hear the part about not coming into the city until I was almost at work, so I kept going to the office. My office is about 2-3 miles as the crow flies from where they ended up finding the guy. I stayed at work until noon, and it truly was a surreal experience. The very busy road our office is on was more or less abandoned by private vehicles. There was a constant stream of police cruisers (marked, unmarked, SUVs, SWAT etc), ambulances, and rescue vehicles going by. At about 11AM, at least a dozen NH state troopers went by at a decent clip (I later heard that they were there to support the local officers/give them a break). I am glad I left work when I did. There was no one else on the road, and I could tell by the fire truck at the Dunkin Donuts next door (they were getting lunch) that I was not in any danger. After I got back home, I was glued to the TV.
I have NO problem with the stay in place request/order from the Gov. It was a good call considering that the guy they were looking for was A. tied to an event that killed 3 ppl and injured hundreds, B. tied to the cold-blooded murder of a police officer, and C. tied to the police chase where there was gun fire and grenade-type weapons being thrown out the window at police. The guy was desperate, and showed that he was willing to do whatever it took to get away.

Definition: Exigent circumstances may make a warrantless search constitutional if probable cause exists. The existence of exigent circumstances is a mixed question of law and fact.[3] There is no absolute test for determining if exigent circumstances exist, but general factors have been identified. These include: clear evidence of probable cause; the seriousness of the offense and likelihood of destruction of evidence; limitations on the search to minimize the intrusion only to preventing destruction of evidence; and clear indications of exigency. APS - I agree they may have the Exigent circumstances to conduct the search. But if you think having your teenaged child removed from your house at gunpoint, about 10 officers with military, I am sure fully automatic rifles pointed at your child with thier fingers on the trigger while he is searched - twice- with his hands up - then your definition of "limitations on the search to minimize the intrusion " and mine are vastly different. Please read and support the Constiution of US - it is at risk in these crazy time we live in. P.S. you won't find those immages on any main stream media source. Because they don't want you to.

I must admit, I was pretty shocked by the video No Bozo posted. Until he posted that, I had no idea how that whole scenario was carried out. I had no idea they were moving people out of their houses at gunpoint, with their hands in the air. The tv news certainly did not report it.

Well, we all know how the media is. That is why those who only get their news from the 6:00 news, have no idea what is really going on with anything in the country, not just this.

Yes, NB. Low Information voters. I check out the Drudge Report more than once every day. He often has the news a couple of days before anybody else. That is if anybody else bothers to run it at all.

This whole thing hit way too close to home. Bear Islander's post sounds much like other stories I've heard from folks who were in the midst of it all - many people in our area were impacted by this bombing, as many had families in the marathon or were in it themselves. It's no small thing. I'm glad Don left this thread up - thanks! |
