Sucks to be someone of middle-eastern descent when things like this happen. People hurting look for someone to blame, and after 9/11, it's easy to see how someone might get pointed out if only for the color of their skin.

Anyway, conspiracy theorists are going wild. Meanwhile, 4chan comes up with this:

Stupid as it may look, it's interesting seeing people try to pick apart something/anything to find out who's responsible.

How about the Guy in the Camo. hat a few feet away with a very large backpack for an older man (it seems he has white hair) to be carrying.

The backpack/dufflebag had to have been at least pressure cooker sized and heavy. If it was indeed a pressure cooker style bomb.

Its very sad that this **** has to happen in a modern society. Why cant people just get along??? I hate having to look over my shoulder when i go to the city but you have no choice. There are animals out there trying to hurt everyone. :cry:

you want to know why we can't just get along? it's because of religious and political disputes. in this modern age religion does more to pull us apart than anything. and as far as politics goes, at least here in the US, the fact that there are only 2 main parties splits our country in half

all i see are close up videos of the first bomb with the second in the background. wheres videos of the second? Its kinda pathetic that officials are so desperate for video and pictures, looking at peoples cell phones at the airport...? they probably are clueless.

The first bomb was at the finish line, with two viewing platforms. It's not surprising that there is a lot of video from that site. There were even news crews stationed there filming in the street.

The second location is down the road near nothing remarkable (as far as the marathon goes), and everyone running at that point was at 4+ hours, it wasn't like it was the final sprint for the elite runners. If you wanted video of a friend finishing, you'd be recording down the road.

I sincerely hope the FBI hunts down whoever did this and I hope whoever it is, resists arrest so they can put 3 caps down their throat. This is an act of pure evil and deserves no mercy, only execution as punishment for hurting all those innocent people.

I think there was a video on reddit that showed second blast from a camera used by an athlete who happened to be near it .

Black backpacks and skin color.

The FBI should hire 4chan, they got it allllll figured out.

A few hours after the attacks there was mention of someone with dark skin wearing a hoodie carrying a suspicious number of backpacks around that area.

Hard to say what's known at this point. I live in the area, there are cops going all over the place, but they're also just going around en masse inspecting everything remotely threatening, not to mention they searched that poor Saudi kids apartment just because he was Saudi.

Crowd sourcing. It's a great idea.

It's not just 4chan, but it's hardly shocking that a gathering of technically capable people have had some success(?) with this >.<

This. 4chan/Anonymous/Reddit and other communities may not be the most favored, but they've all seriously contributed towards turning in criminals as the Internet works to hunt down bad people. In some cases, well before even the police can.

Some people are eager to call them ridiculous though, when meanwhile, you have big names in media throwing blatant lies and so forth. I can't blame a man for trying, and if there's a chance, no matter how small it may be that it actually leads to something, then by all means go ahead.

I don't like 4Chan normally, but these images do show the possible perpetrators. Have these images been sent to the authorities yet?

I promise they've seen them.

The US security/intel bodies are unlikely to miss anything related to this event.

Care to back that statement up with facts?

Uh, the fact that both the BPD and the Saudi government have identified him as a victim of the bomb attack, and the BPD admits they have no suspects, but someone thought it was prudent to search his apartment anyway?

I dunno man. I mean, you don't think these people could be looking for their friends? Or possibly talking to them? And going through their bags is suspicious too? So if I left university with my textbooks in my bag (accounting for the weight) and I also had a bottle of water in there, I was digging for then I'd automatically be a suspect?

The marathon course is lined with people a) walking around and not stopping b) carrying bags and c) moving in and out of crowds to get to see the road.

So, yes, per amateur inter-sleuths, everyone is a suspect. But, it looks like the authorities have identified someone: http://www.boston.com/metrodesk/2013/04/17/boston-medical-center-reports-five-year-old-boy-critical-condition-victims-treated-from-boston-marathon-bombings/gkKXBTqL2jyNhsC2Kz5GyO/story.html

Possible suspect? http://edition.cnn.c....html?hpt=hp_t2

[Original story, posted at 1:11 p.m. Wednesday]

(CNN) -- Investigators believe they have identified a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, a source who has been briefed on the investigation told CNN's John King exclusively.

The breakthrough came from analysis of video from a department store near the site of the second explosion. Video from a Boston television station also contributed to the progress, said the source, who declined to be more specific but called it a significant development.

Earlier, a federal law enforcement source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation told CNN that a lid to a pressure cooker thought to have been used in the bombings had been found on a roof of a building near the scene.

While such clues may move the investigation forward, they did not reveal whether the attack was an act of domestic or foreign terrorism.

I'd say in a case like this nearly everyone is a suspect until the real one is caught. I have no problem with that either.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
