I'm staring at a blank screen, not entirely sure what to write. I do know that I'm decidedly tired of all this speculation with regard to the marathon bombing. I understand the FBI doesn't have clear answers (hence, the plea to the public), but that means neither does anyone else, and that means shut the fuck up with the conspiracy theories.

I've seen a few bits in the news that just irritate the hell out of me:

"It was Al Qaeda. They showed members how to make pressure cooker bombs in Yemen once."

No, it wasn't. Stop stirring the shit. Neither Al Qaeda, nor any other known foreign terrorist group has yet claimed responsibility for the incident. While that in and of itself does not conclusively eliminate that possibility, it does make it extremely unlikely. As far as the training involved in making a pressure cooker bomb; there is none. Anyone with an Anarchist's Cookbook, and a rudimentary understanding of physics can make one. Until there's more information about how it was constructed, there's no way to know how it was constructed. See how that shit works?

"Panic! You could be next!"

Not likely. Again, there is very little known about the details and logistics of this incident.

Here's what we conclusively know as of this moment:

1) An asshole, possibly with the assistance of other assholes, blew up the finish line of the Boston marathon.

2) Multiple devices were found, and they were housed in pressure cookers.

That's it.

End of fucking list.

We don't know who, we don't know why, and we're not even entirely sure how. Which means it's just as legitimate at this point to claim that an angry, escaped lab chimp who dreamed of running the marathon did it out of spite, because the doctor in charge of the lab went nuts and ate his legs.

Speculation does not help. Stop panicking.

"Gawd let it happen, because fag marriage!"

You know what? Shut the fuck up.  Just die slowly in a fire. That is all. You know who you are.
