Kennedy library makes me think right wingnut, but false flag does seem more likely.

Too early to tell.

Two things worth mentioning:

1.  The primaries worked like clockwork, the secondaries failed.  But them just being there served the purpose.

2.  No claim of responsibility.  Could have another Eric Rudolph on our hands.

Yeah.  It's interesting, but waiting for independent confirmation on that.

Nothing on MSNBC or NPR.

it seems that having unexploded secondaries that will likely be found would do more damage than if they went off, as they create a looming spectre.

Post is a Murdoch rag, right?  They normally do have better police contacts than most...as recent events have shown.

We probably wont get anything definitive for the next 12 hours at least, if there is a suspect currently under guard.

There's a lot of fucking crazy in New England, but one thing we don't have a lot of is right wing nutjobs. They live in New Hampshire and very seldom come out because they're afraid of their shadows.

...There's gonna be a shit ton of dumb conspiracy theories though.

THANKS OBAMA.

There's a few and it only takes one. Don't know yet.

There's cameras EVERYWHERE in an area like that, though.

Boston/Providence NPR didn't pick up on the library bomb for a bit, but that was a controlled demo. It seems like they're going to be blowing up whatever they find for a while anyway, because now everyone's phone on a chair is going to be a bomb.

The fire at the JFK library was a result of another explosion, according to NPR & MSNBC.

That might be part of the problem.  Obviously, in places where their views are more widely accepted, there is less of need for violence to try and promote one's worldview.  Look at Norway and Breivik, for example, or Islamic fundamentalism in the UK.  Mostly cut off and hostile to the society around them, it becomes a lot easier to dehumanise people and justify violence.
