Boston bombing

[Katman]

Because the FBI knew who they were looking for, thats why they (the FBI) were inside an apartment and removing personal belongings of whoever lived there, the night of the explosion.
Not everyone who was wearing a cap/backpack on the day was a suspect, the interest lay with two only.

Just an educated theory.

Almost like they knew exactly where to go looking.

Yes, but by way of a tip off that they did not take seriously.
I said to Anne the night I saw that on the news ''that was quick, it's almost like they knew where to go looking'', maybe they had prior warning.

The woman in the bottom left corner of this photo is the same woman in the series of photos taken immediately after, and at the epicentre of, the blast.

She doesn't look overly traumatised for someone who's just been through what she has.

So there is a photo of a woman with a not traumatised look on her face. And this is the same look she has in ALL the photos of her?

You'll note that my reference to that photo was actually in reply to oneofsix's claim at post #215 that a conclusion of guilt could be assumed from the look on the face of the fleeing younger brother.

Having said that, I'm surprised that she's still on the scene a considerable time after the blast.

With the number of emergency personnel in the photo you'd expect that she'd have been asked to move away from the area.

She's obviously greedy and simply can't get enough.

She's looking for any dropped hotdogs.

This guy looks as guilty as fuck.

And no backpack.

Not to say how pleased he looks with himself.

And using UN colours as a disguise, how distasteful...

that is a bit of a strawman kattie, no wonder you get on so well with Ed. I was replying to your claim over the commissioner's comments on the look on his face but I actually pointed out that his face was only a final small clue added to the other larger ones pointed him out. But hay don't let details stand in the way of the conspiracy theory

Ah! That went over my head.

I can already sense that no matter what anyone says or proves counter to the ‘something stinks’ conspiracy thinkers – the response will be something about being a complacent sheeple or some such trite rubbish. Sorry but I trend very much towards the official line here.

Basically it comes down to this. Either you have to have some faith in western democracy or you have zero trust. Having zero trust is becoming a popular stance and is likely to end in tears. This is not to say that governments – or at least people who hold high office - are always truthful. They have been proved to be liars time and time again.

HOWEVER in cases like this – western governments are usually proved to be truthful or at least honestly mistaken. And that is utterly understandable given the difficulty in finding the guilty party in what is a fairly random act amongst a huge crowd of people. Sure one of these guys was on an alert list but it’s a bloody big list and not even the good old USA has the manpower to follow everyone on the list 24/7 or indeed the will to do so.

A drill that went wrong? A fit up of two innocent guys? Come off it – no way! One thing America breeds faster than heavily armed malcontents with a strong local school attraction is people willing to rat out the officials for their 15 minutes of network fame and a healthy appearance fee. Be it a cover up or a conspiracy SO MANY people would have to be involved there is NO WAY it could be kept secret.

Inconsistent injuries in a home made bomb blast? Yup - perfectly normal - its a home made bomb in a pot FFS - anything can happen... Even factory made bombs are not always consistent. Thats life - random shit happens if you have a large sample. People fall out of airplanes and survive without parachutes... I guess that given a large enough sample of humanity we will have enough conspiracy fans here as well (I suspect survivors from previous falls)

Everything is a conspiracy unless it can be proven. What's worse, the bombing, or this? Moral of the story. There are people in places where it's nigh on impossible to get caught out and until they do, they'll do ANYTHING for money, including killing people that they don't know or even care about. So whilst I appreciate your point of view and agree with you in regards to trust etc... trust and respect has to be earned... and given the way TPTB conduct their business i.e. govts withholding information about ANYTHING at all for business advantage or security purposes (it has all been paid for by the public) then they will earn neither from me. They seek and hold these positions of responsibility for a reason and it's not to serve people. But by all means call me a conspiracy fan, so long as you don't mind me pointing the finger at you (you know the one) and calling you an gullible fool also. Fuckers is fuckers and they run the world no question about it!

Another interesting watch.
