Yeah, I get that... wasn't the Columbine shooting timed specifically for Hitler's birthday? So it might be significant, but I guess we'll have to wait and see (if we ever find out).

I would try to guess based on the significance of killing innocent Americans. Completely innocent people were targetted, but they were in Aurora Colorado and Sandy Hook. It could be some looney-tune type which is possible because a terrorist group would want to be given credit for it by now.

Groups generally attack to send a message. There isn't much of a message in this one.

If you're wrong, really bummed, lol.

Reminds me of the Times Square bomber. Bloomberg and progressives hinted that it was conservatives, TP'ers, talk radio listeners and the like.

Unfortunately, well, we all know how that one turned out.

Better luck this time, I guess. I hope your dreams come true.

As much of a waste as it is to speculate, I'd go along with you. Some wack job that should have been locked up in an asylum years ago. Same as Sandy Hook, Aurora and others.

I would agree with your post. I know many are blaming right wingers, but they usually attack some significant government or religious target. Islamic terrorists usually take credit quickly. Kind of makes me think some lone nut.

My bet is that it was an angry white female who is a member of Occupy Wall Street.

See how that works?

Congratulations on politicizing a tragedy.

Grow up.

The bomb was crude, so it's obvious it was a Timothy McVeigh tea party type

Local guy, either first-generation would-be jihadi son of Mideast parents, or right wingnut. Someone who either doesn't care about being caught or is too dumb to realize how that finish line and that time are the most photographed in history.

If I had to guess, I'll say that they take medicine for depression or something like that.

Maybe it was some runner who didn't qualify for the marathon and was really miffed.
