If they did catch a suspect...and can prove his (or her) guilt...then they should use their limbs to help out some of the people who lost theirs. Mad

I never trust The Post. I give the National Enquirer more credit than this rag. That's why I asked my previous question.

it's been Confirm that bombs were found. My question is didn't they have dogs sniffed out the area for bombs before the race? Especially in a such a crowded area. Somebody surely dropped the ball.

laugh out loud


I just also heard it on FB, something about surveillance cams showing a guy placing a backpack on one of the barrels.

Then something about finding 7 devices so far.

Neither of those confirmed on local news yet. Where's TMZ when you need them, they are always right. Wink

They have already reported that the fire at the JFK Library is not related to the explosions.

Confirmed by BPD during press conference. Happened "about half an hour ago."

It doesn't make a difference which media outlet it is.

It took several days to sort out the "facts" from Sandy Hook. Y'all are jumping on Fox b/c of your biases, but the media absolutely botched SH in their rush to sensationalize it and grab viewers. Scroll through the SH thread here in the Lounge.

Probably safe to say it wasn't Korea.
It's been really difficult for me to keep from posting something about losing an arm and a leg on tax day.
