    People listening to police on scanners tweet -

    A package was just found in Cambridge, MA at the Rattlesnake Bar. Police squads are in route.

    That information must be confused. The Rattlesnake Bar in on Bolyston just down the street from the explosions.

    Police commissioner: There is no suspect in custody. We're questioning many people but there's no one in custody at this point.

    Why are people so evil? :(

    Human nature is inexplicable in it's rage and irrationality. We are all at the mercy of each other.

    The version on Atlanticwire was ony changed to blur the man's identity, their version was always cropped at the most explicit point - the full one is real.

    Yes, I was wrong. Poor guy

    The Facebook page for the Boston explosions was created on Saturday. Search @BeyondMusing Richard of Cope for the screenshot.

    You missed the opportunity to claim everyone involved are actors.

    Well it's all happening very fast and very soon after the incident so lots of things may be incorrectly shared or slight mistakes etc.

    All will become clear soon I'm sure :(

    If there was a Saudi national injured then he could be under guard for his own protection to prevent him being reached by the lynch mob.
    Boston police say no-one has been arrested

    That's it isn't it - the relish they use the descriptions with.

    and knowing people have lost limbs, using the word scythed is just so brutal.

    BBC - 2 killed, 24 injured.

    The JFK Library fire seems to be switching from being linked to the explosions then not being linked to the explosions.

    Those poor people. :(

    Maybe the people of Boston will stop funding terrorism for a change, they funded the IRA for years and still do.

    Facebook group names can be changed

    The page has been removed. The first post is hard for me to read but it doesn't look like a page for the marathon itself. And it's likes are for news pages, sky news, BBC etc. I'm assuming the page is British in origin. Very fishy to me.

    Definitely looks like the bomb was in that store with the big glass windows. It's the only building where the glass has blown outwards onto the pavement.

    Just horrible all in all. We all hear about these things happening across the world, but with the cameras there this time it really brings it home. Next time I hear about such an incident in Pakistan or similar I'll definitely pay more attention :(

    Seems a bit premature. The police have confirmed no such thing at this stage.
