Too bad all the muslims do support this. Learned a long time ago there's two types of muslims: terrorists and those who support terrorists. Listen to all the "good" muslims speak on this and you'll hear nothing but "Yeah, it's bad but...", "Yeah, I know, but..." They will apologize and justify this in every direction possible. Absolute worthless, barbaric Neanderthals, once removed from monkeys.

This is 9-11 thinking, the type of thinking that got us sucked into the ME. There hasn't been enough information out. You can't confirm who it was so we don't know what we're the motives/aims of the perpetrator.

My guess - it's domestic. Hope I'm wrong.

CNN now reporting (BOLO) Be on the lookout for dark skinned foreign national seen trying to enter restricted area.

He doesn't look like he is wearing running clothes or warm up clothes. I guess if he was that fast he had time to shower and change? In any case, lets all hope he recovers and can be running on prosthetics next year!

You are truly a piece of shit for making fun of that poor man!!! I bet you jerked off while watching the TV coverage of 9/11

Wasn't make fun of anyone...there was "speculation" that the guy had reportedly run 2:33 and was waiting for his wife...but as we all know the reports are often wrong, and he just didn't look like he was dressed like he had just run. It doesn't make the outcome different, I feel for him whether he ran or not, its really really terrible!

I'm reluctant to guess at any names in case I'm wrong. But if you search the last names of the 10 2:33s, it seems like there are only two possibilities based on female runners with the same last name. Finishing times 2:33:31 and 2:33:40. Anyone know either of those guys?

Actually, maybe just one possibility, the 2:33:31. Ages for the other pair seem unlikely.

Actually, the 2:33:31 doesn't quite match up either. Seems irresponsible to keep speculating. If someone here knows him it'll come out eventually who he is, and hopefully letsrun can help him out in some way.

Yeah it wasn't the 2:33:31. Keep in mind that his wife probably was unable to finish, and therefore would not be in the results.

Those that gave their service on the streets of Boston today deserve our upmost respect, they saved lives.

YES!!!

Per Police Commissioner - person at Brigham Hospital is not a suspect.

Boston Globe reporting 3 dead.

It'd be nice if people held off on the politics until we have the slightest clue what happened. All we know is that there were small bombs, probably at ground level, and there was a guy with a backpack (maybe). Nothing at all to inspire rants about Muslims or the Christian right or the Tea Party or whatever other unpopular group might pop into your head.

Chief of police described the bombs as very, very powerful. Just wait a little bit longer, and you will be proven 100% wrong in the remaining statements. There is plenty to point to that matches the fingerprints of muslim terrorists and not the other groups.

Proved wrong? All I said was to leave off the political crap until you have evidence. Anyone can make a bomb.

Umm, you know nothing about terrorist bombs, and even less about Muslims. This was a small bomb compared to what real "terrorists" use. Nearly 100% likely a U.S. homegrown idiot.

I would definitely like to help this guy out. One of the most graphic pictures I've ever seen. Poor guy.

But not everyone does.

Losing my legs would be worse to me than death. I would really much rather die. So I will gladly put in a significant amount of money to get this guy up and running again too.

I can confirm that guy isn't 2:33:48 (bib 199) since I know him. That's not him.

And we know it's not the Japanese guy who ran 2:33:08 (bib 128) as mentioned before.

So 8 possibilities. Yeah, I'd definitely chip in to get this guy some Cheetah blades. Just a horrible tragedy.
