Sorry folks but the sand covering your heads is eroding away. You might be better off to finally wake up and start to smell the coffee. If the truth be told, we don't live in the dream world you think we do. No amount of sports or "Dancing with the Stars" can change that.
Just a couple of quick questions for all of you jr. detective super sleuths out there convinced this was an inside job.
If the government was trying to "pin" the attack at the Boston Marathon on those two brothers, then how did they know in advance that the boys would be at the race where they would be widely photographed? How did one of the injured runners directly identify the oldest brother as the guy who sat the bag down that blew up directly next to him a few minutes later? He said he looked him in the eye. In fact, when he became conscious, he started writing out that he'd seen the bomber, and he helped to identify him from crowd photos. If the boys were innocent and saw themselves on TV as suspected terrorists, why didn't they contact law enforcement to try to straighten it out, vs. stealing a car and hiding out? Wouldn't law enforcement take them into custody immediately if they were trying to set them up--before they released the pictures to the public--if they knew who they were and were trying to frame them? If they were innocent, why did they have home made bombs with them in the car that they threw at police? I could believe that they might have assault rifles at home, but how many people have home made hand grenades stored for a rainy day?
I could keep going, but I've made my point. None of what you're suggesting even remotely adds up. Do you think it's possible that they had extra security, including LE from a variety of agencies along with bomb sniffing dogs, because it's a major public event and terrorism is always a concern at major, open public events? The boys sat the bags down, and they exploded minutes later. They had no bag screening for people coming into the event, and the dogs wouldn't have had time to find them after they'd been put in place.
You guys need to stop listening to Glenn Beck and Alex Jones. I really worry about your mental health. Try looking at situations logically and analytically. Are set ups possible in the world? Sure, but there's a difference between remotely possible and remotely probable. Your theory is about as improbable as it gets.
Why are you lumping me in with those nuts?
I only posted the title of the thread so one could find where I had originally posted my own quote.
Here it is again.

The FBI claims they have a photo that shows White Hat dropping his bag and Jeff Bauman says he saw a man who looks like Black Hat drop his bag.
Bauman is pretty convincing - he woke up after experiencing a major trauma and immediately was able to recall something critical.
The FBI won't release the picture of White Hat dropping his bag - but there is a picture taken by a man who was running towards the scene that shows White Hat walking away and he is not carrying a bag.
I won't post the picture because if I could find it so can anyone who is interested.
My guess is that the true tin foil hat people won't bother - they will prefer to remain ignorant
Criminal offenses are punishable by restricting your freedom and sometimes a fine.
Civil offenses equal punished by MONEY awards.
I have no problems today.
Why do you react so negatively when someone asks you to substantiate a claim you make?? Are you having trouble finding anything on the Internet which substantiates your belief in "civil criminal offense"?
If you're hoping to be a lawyer some day, you really should learn the basic difference between criminal court and civil court.
I know the difference quite well and I clarified what I said in an earlier post.
You prefer to be selectively ignorant and/or intellectually dishonest.
I only posted the title of the thread so one could find where I had originally posted my own quote - which you apparently did not read.
Here it is again.
Sheesh - reading is fundamental.

You know what--I owe you an apology, because I absolutely did misunderstand what you were trying to say. Sorry! I didn't see this post--only the earlier one where I assumed you were agreeing with them from what was written.
