Boston: A Photographic Retrospective
It has been a tumultuous and terrible week with every emotion being played out in public, real-time across every social media source. This is an attempt at visually preserving and memorializing this week's events.
Everything was going as planned for one of the most prestigious marathons in the world
The elite athletes had completed their race
The rest of the pack (still incredible athletes to qualify for Boston) continued their trudge through the 26.2 miles
And then at around 4 hours in, this
and then this
Chaos and devastation
Heroes emerged
First responders with uniforms
... and without
The suspects were first unknown but identified in a few days
Then the manhunt began
Following a shoot out on MIT Campus
Which left one police officer dead
As well as one of the suspects
Quickly Boston was put into lockdown mode
A city on the verge of martial law
As the manhunt began
As the suspects were identified, family members came forward
Neighborhoods were evacuated
... and searched for bombs
As bewildered residents looked on
Even the journalists were told to provide "ground coverage"
Then as night was about to fall and the suspect remained uncovered, shots were heard
And the showdown siege began
The second suspect was discovered - in a boat
SWAT teams swooped in
And Suspect 2 was captured
Law enforcement celebrated
As did the people
'Friends' were rounded up
And all was well: a perfect ending.
... or just the beginning?

Apparently Boston is not Over: FBI Hunting for 12 Member Strong Sleeper Cell per UK Mirror
My virgin eyes!! My virgin eyes!! Those pictures were terrible.
The guy in the cowboy hat next to the guy that had his legs amputated is this guy. The interview he gave was emotional.
Carlos Arredondo is “the man in the cowboy hat” from the now-famous photo taken after the explosions at the Boston Marathon on Monday.
Arredondo was at the Boston Marathon to support “Tough Ruckers” – military members who run in full military gear to honor fallen comrades.
His son, Alex, died in Iraq in 2004. When marines came to deliver that news to Arredondo, he locked himself in his van and set it on fire. Those marines rescued him.
Arredondo would also lose his only other son, Brian, who never got over the loss of his brother and committed suicide at the age of 24.
Arredondo could not save his sons’ lives, but on Monday he saved someone else’s.
The gravely injured man in the photo is 27-year-old Jeff Bauman. He had to have both lower legs amputated, but his father says he’s recovering.

his son gave his life for jewish bankers and big oil.
Which son?

What really surprises me is that with the MASSIVE mobilization involving both local police and Feds, they didn't harm or kill anyone they didn't suspect with being involved with the bombings, and even then presumably only fired after being fired upon (of course luck may have been involved because at least one person had a hole in his house, but unknown where it came from).
Which means, either they are super-professional, or the LAPD and NYPD seriously need to go back to the 'Police Academy' for some serious remedial training.

All these bombings makes one want to live on the west coast. Oh wait a minute, Fukushima is destroying that constantly, every day. I'll take my chances with the malcontents versus getting poisoned a little every day.
It is amazing. The Pacific ocean is basically dieing off right now from unrelenting nuclear contamination. The amount of cancers, birth defects, and general fucked up shit that will be occuring over the next decade will be unheralded in the history of our failed species on this planet.
Fuck Einstein! and Fuck Oppenheimer! Those fucking cunts fucked this planet up way more than any of these rag tag kids from some central asian backwater.
Here's the thing, Einstein is supposedly "super intelligent." Well guess what? If you invent something that leads to your own species extinction? You're a fucking a failed mutation. Clever? Sure. Wisdom & intelligence? Negative.
Time to re-write the history books. Einstein (and that little devil man Oppenheimer) were failures. Humanoids. They look and act like humans, but fail the test.
You want to know who was a hero? Who was a real human? Linus Pauling.
Linus Pauling was asked to participate in the Manhanttan project, but he turned it down. He saw the writing on the wall and said "no thanks." (He also won two nobel prizes back when they meant something.)

They all look alike to me.
alright home gamers...look for the dead in obits...i cant find any.....the bios of the victims, maryland school teacher, husband and sister all leg s blown of or serious leg injuries...the beth israel deaconess medical center has reported 13 amputations of legs...all other parts, heads arms face etc., made out ok...these people will never be able to return to their "normal" lives...but i would guess with new ids we can start more "normal" lies..i mean lives...it is all out there...look around, use your head...its called critical thinking...
and somebody else mentioned here no funerals...i would think the msm would cover the funerals of the poor dead kids from the school shooting.....or would they respect the familys grief?....i think not
In 5 years who do you think will have a greater increase in health issues, Japan or the US, which includes Alaska and Hawaii?
Japan. The effects to U.S. will take longer.
My best friend in the world lives in Yokohama and will not leave. That issue aside, she provides interesting information: She grows lots of flowers, has several cats and many fish in a few different freshwater aquariums. Of these different biomasses only some of the smallest fish are affected with a small deviation to the spine. She does see a higher death rate in the tanks than she did before Fukushima. None of her cats have been affected.
We would take her in, complete with cats, in a minute but she insists that leaving is not an option. She spends every moment she can trying to raise money and help for those stuck in the worst areas, especially the children.
Fuku is affecting most if not all of the northern hemisphere at this point. Wake up.
It always makes me sad when lunacy like this gets people and the media excited; don't you idiots realize that's what they wanted?
Except its not, its the guy whose car was hijacked.
Police forced him to strip naked for booby traps and were unsure at time of arrest if he was an accomplice.
anyone know the identity of the hijacked guy?
get your car hijacked, your ATM raided, your life threatened and then your package size exposed to all humanity---bad day
that's not the brother, but that is someone who had his rights violated by the police.
that's not the brother, but that is someone who had his rights violated by the police.
How the hell do you know? Were you one of the police?
Rights are monetized and fucking history.
On the watch of a nigger in chief no less.
Don't worry Kunt Napolitano and her band of dipshits Inc have your crotch in lockdown already.
Perhaps if one person told the truth - just one.

Yer video is CRAP.
It will convince many a 10 yr old amateur 'sleuth' not in possession of the FACTS and that is about all.
That was a nosy neighbor .... who was later released !
Must of been the paid spooks who swept the streets during the unconstitutional "Lockdown"... As in Prison "Lockdown"?... wordsmiths deliberate Orwellian double-speak?
Good God! "Must of been..." It's must have been or at least must've been. Syntax is important as the eyes of the world are focused on ZH.
Well at least we've got that goin' for us. ;)
But when you're dealing with marketing people (and let's be honest, that is the lobbyists' spawning ground) who can come up with innocuous terms like "Shelter in Place" for the institution of martial law, you'll need to mind a bit more than your occasional crossed eye or dotted 'T'.
Check out Karl Denninger's take...
http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?blog=Market-Ticker
He's an idiot who jumps to conclusions with no evidence.
wow, hb, that's some thoughtful commentary on the linked piece.
I read the link. The guy is an idiot who does not know what he is talking about.
Oh crap, he's called out the Karl.
Just let me get to a safe distance. Karl's gonna wing some potty mouth words at you.
Here's a better link to Denninger's commentary that you refer to:

The officials who are eager to declare martial law on one of the largest cities in America and send in thousands of agents with ar15s, and trample the constitution are the same people who defend this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2312164/Late-term-baby-aborted-h... Actions speak louder than words.
On the plus side, Friday I cashed my ghetto pay check for fixing up Section 8 appartments while the fat, cig smoking, Pepsi guzzling, Iphoning slaturns occasionly lifted their dim orbs off Jerry Springer on the flat screen.
I went to Tiki Port, drank and ate $80, then later, after Chatham and Welfleet, hit the fatigue/booze wall at The Old Colony Tap, PTown. I couldn't understand the Irish tourists ..
..But the best? No cops. Nada. Not a cruiser. Like the old days.
(Bad part? I don't have the multi day drinking legs I used to.)
Anyway, is there a better pro victim, America sucks, unarmed fat pussies then Boston? ( Little Italy, Charlestown and half of S. Boston excepted. )
All Sheeple stay in your tax harvest pen.
Was this lifted from the book "The Audacity of Hope"?
Blanks? Can't make a lot of holes with blanks. Apparently not even in the shrink wrap on the boat.
What amazes me is how the alleged terrorists carried so many bombs and ammo with them to a hijacking ... the SUV didn't have the bombs and ammo or did it?
YOU DON'T THINK they had backpacks pre-packed with this shit DO YOU?
Here is an explanation of how you create a killer out of a regular person with a help of hipnosis. Really compelling... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC9J6O6soHA

Yes - that strikes me as a very very obvious and curious ommission - where are the pix of the Craft International military contractors?
Even if they're not ultimately found responsible - just the fact of having PMCs hired for jobs inside US territory - and in a major city no less - is, in and of itself, a HUGE story that got totally buried.

We have always been at war with Eurasia.
Our homes are backed and owned by the government. We don't have to leave home to be in their camps. Nice how that turned out, eh?
Logged in to give you a green. THAT is the issue, the takeover of private property by the state.Then all is lost.
Good News:
North Korea denied that it has any links to the Boston Marathon bombing, saying it“maintains a stance against any form of terrorism,” as quoted by the KCNA. The statement also said North Korea will not hide behind terrorism if it ever feels the need to strike the US, dismissing the allegations posted on the American news website WND that the country might be behind the bombing as an attempt by “hostile forces” to damage its reputation.
http://rt.com/usa/boston-marathon-explosions-updates-911/
North Korea doesn't know whether to shit or wind its wrist watch.
NK doesn't even have a wrist watch.
... damage its reputation.
WTF?
If North Korea becomes the voice of reason regarding terrorism, my head will explode, but not in the terroristic way. No one will be injured.
The problem with lies is they stink.
They all do.
Every story, every episode, every fucking word out of Boston has been opaque and misleading.
This is no accident, and that stench is unbearable.
But, puppets in the USA gulp it down, noses plugged and conscience closed.
You are a fucking Nazi bastard. Burn in hell.
You lack the intelligence to be a fucking nazi bastard (or much of anything else). Go back to your jew hole and commiserate.
Referring to you otto skorzeny
yup. as a human being , try to come to terms with yourself and or your
family members being pawns in a big game.
and then discover that you can't do much about changing the situation.
you become a pacifist and help others, or get to your bunker
Who actually won the race? Lucky they did.

I thought I remember hearing one time that to 'qualify' for the Bostom Marathon, you had to have posted a Marathon time of sub 3 hours... So what were these people doing stumbling in past the 4 hr. mark?
If its anything like the NYC Marathon, you can run if you are with a "charity." So you basically join a bunch of other people and raise money. That gets you a slot in the race. Atleast in NY. I'm sure the Boston Marathon has a similar thing going.

I love how Big Sis already came out 2 days ago and said there is 'No broader plot' and that it was 'not worthy of comment' regarding questions about the Saudi suspect implicated.
This thing has some legs. No pun intended.
This obviously mean that America is going to war soon... Against who, that's the question... Iran? Syria? Saudi Arabia??
as wise man once said (w. bush) - "bring 'em on"-all of 'em
We're at war with ourselves, and it won't end happily ever after.
... and both of us are going to lose.
***America is going to war soon***
The patsies were suppose to be Iranian in order to justify an attack on Iran. Someone screwed up big time and came up with Chechens.

I have to ask, what is with the single period as the total post?

Who said 'sophisticated' anyway, nutter?
YES, lets move forward with an immigration and amnesty reform. That way, we can have millions more of unknowns running around able to do as they please.
FORWARD SOVIET!
Apparently it's fake.
could one of those terrrrristtss be the one our government gave a one way ticket back to saudi arabia right after the bombing???? only glenn beck knows.....
Where is the journalist with balls? If the Saudi national is guilty Barry is going from lame duck to cooked goose in a heartbeat.
its called a red herring... but it will certainly keep the masses following the "saga" that the puppet masters have cooked up for them... like grade C TV, made by the same damn people.
It's like watching (end getting excited about) the 10th rehash of superman.
FUCKING BORING!
Yeah, Just like "Fast and Furious" and Bhengahzi.
It would be interesing if the US tried to topple Saudi Arabia. An end game play to try to confiscate the Saudi's massive gold holdings and to shore up total control of their oil reserves...
The neocons have been wanting to put KSA more directly under their control for a long time.
That is why Glenn Beck dragged out it 'until Monday.' Are you one of the people actually foolish enough to pay for his self-promoting schlock?
Thank god for marshall law.........glad we didn't succumb to terrorism........
ouch.. martial.
Usually the guys who can't spell it are the first ones calling for it when a 19 year old allegedly blows up a slow cooker and creates a "national security emergency."
he forgot the sarc-you commies have no sense of humor
Exactly, I found it obvious.
And don't mess with no marshal.
maybe he meant they declared Marshmallow Law? "if burnt correctly on the outside it's really yummy to eat."
Well let's face it, if these freaks aren't stopped soon Soylent Green is just down the pike. They will squeeze it into Agenda 21. You know, for the common good.
Then apologies to kliguy, but his very sentiments are spread like a disease all over the MSM so easy to overlook the sarc.

BTW.. I tend a tad more towards anarchy than communism.. :-D
BTBTW.. I'd hit mom.
e european chicks are freaks
no apologies necessary.......we just shut down a major city think what happens when the real SHTF
Truly insane. Even if everything we've been told is 100% true there is absolutely no excuse for the manner in which it was handled and I agree -- if it was this easy to cow the public into hiding at home while the entire police force shut down the city because of one 19 year old with a pressure cooker.....
The really scary thing is that you should not let them in (Fourth Amendment)..
but if you did not - then what would SWAT and the light armor do?
I thought the same thing. What if you're some guy with a bong in your apartment -- do you let them in and get arrested for drugs, or refuse their entry and get Gitmo'd for aiding and abetting an enemy combatant. Those are the kinds of choices people have to make when they live in a police state.
A bong in the hand is worth two months in the can. Jajajaja.
As an American, this week was fucking embarrassing. At least with 9-11 we made an attempt at the stiff upper lip thing. This time people shat their pants, cried for Uncle Sam to militarize the police, and turned an entire city into a gigantic prison. All the while, this was probably 1/1000th the scale of 9-11. I'll never forget the guy begging for a cavity search. Utterly pathetic.
We really jumped the fucking shark as a country this week, people.
I'm surprised they didn't put Obama in a leather jacket and shorts and put some girls in bikinis behind him at the press conference. Oh shit, I probably just gave them an idea for next time.
Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho comes after O.
No kidding. Did they shut down London when the bus blew up? Or any other city around the world that gets whacked by terrorists? Only in America. The 2nd amendment is forever protected for the State to use as cover for doing almost anything it wants.
Boston...

Mission accomplished!
Homeland insecurity won the race.

Here are some more pictures. Not saying he's right, but interesting coincidences. http://aangirfan.blogspot.com/2013/04/special-forces-in-boston.html
that one dark skinned guy has Israeli SF written all over him. that backpack looks heavy- no- like it has a pressure cooker filled with metal in it.
They released photos from the morgue?
That's odd, no?
Almost as odd as the fact that the already presumed guilty guy (who apparently can't talk because of his "injuries") had a license plate saying "I did it."
Is that license plate from his car - or from his Khazakstani friends? I thought it was the latter...
friends that were arrested today- looks photo-shopped- I guess Allah Akbar! was taken.
That was exactly what I thought when I saw it.
Exactly.
This is a good movie. Which joo produced it?
Looks like he resisted arrest.
Quite a controversy surrounding the photo. Taken in the hospital. Hospital denies having done it. Odds are it was a policeman who wanted to share it with his/her comrades. Kind of like Saddam's execution was supposed to be kept out of the public view.
Not meaning to malign the police here. Just my guess.
BTW: I weigh in with Karl Denninger who is quick to point out that Boston has some of the toughest anti-gun laws, and wonders what would have happened if every third citizen had one. Would we have needed 10K cops and spent....$10 million by the time the dust settles?
counting shutting the town down for a few days try into the billions. also-malign away.
$10 million by the time the dust settles?
It cost $360 million to keep Boston closed for a day. So $10 million is peanuts.
The final cost of this episode will easily exceed $500 million but, luckily, Ben is printing $3000 million a day.
Increased future spending on DHS will be at least $10 billion a year more from the current $60 billion. There will also be losses of personal liberties and increased surveillance of all.
The final cost of this episode including future costs will exceed $100 billion.
GeeZee PeeZee. I thought that you were blowing smoke when it came to the DHS budget. They spent some $43 billion in 2010. We are sooooo screwed. Ossama bin Laden succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. If I recall, the World Trade Towers cost $1 billion each back in the early '70s. What did "W" say..."the terrorists envy us for our freedom." What freedoms would those be,"W"? The freedom to terrorize ourselves with all of these cops, drones and trillion dollar deficits? Real race to the bottom in Prez stature between Johnson, Nixon and "W." Obama will be in the running.
Now guess what? The budget for Commodities Future Trading Commission?
I am going to make you wait. Lets first consider CFTC's responsibilities. How about the $1.6 billion it let Jon Corzine steal. How about the $1 quadrillion in derivatives it oversees. What is reasonable overhead on that quadrillion. Maybe 1/1,000 of a buck? So maybe its budget should be $1 trillion. Too liberal an assumption? OK. Let's get conservative and slide the decimal over three slots. CFTC should get at least $1 billion, right?
Wrong.
CFTC gets about $200 million.
Why are we sooooo screwed? Meaningless expenses for the military cronies under DHS. No expense to keep the financial terrorists in check. Want to save America? Give CFTC the bigger budget. Duh.
If you really want your mind blown, consider the possibility that there is no spoon (bin Laden). Or more accurately, that the spoon had nothing to do with 9/11 and that almost all of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi's are on the US leash. They're just given a long lead.
If they ever committed an unsanctioned act, then Mecca would turn into glass.
I can't go the conspiracy route with 9/11. Buttttttt. Being an engineer and seeing the footage of WTC 7 collapsing - at free fall speed - I have to think that that building was professionally demolished with appripriately placed and timed explosives.
If nothing else, not is one thorny unanswered question.
There is a large group of engineers and architects who openly call for an investigation of that.
I think very highly of former Ass Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts. He is steadfast in his conviction that the Fed is up to all sorts of horrors including last week's smackdown. OTOH, he is fervent 9/11 conspiracy proponent. IOW, he thinks the US government orchestraed the whole thing. As I said, I can't go there, but the Building 7 evidence gives me a very serious case of cognitive dissonance. I hope Dr. Robert's hasn't lost it. He is a great advocate for putting the bankster's cajones in a vice.
