    Pretty good theory. I would agree that it probably was not coincidence.

    It's a fluid situation I caution you against speculation.

    Comcast Sports New England is airing a Boston news feed via channel 630 on DirecTV and they anchors just spent 10 minutes speculating why SWAT officers are stationed outside Brigham & Women's hospital. Going on and on and on about all the possible reasons they could be there but they had no fucking idea what the reason could be.

    About two hours ago I saw an interview with a doctor AT Brigham & Women's and he was asked about the SWAT presence at the hospital. His answer was that it was standard procedure in a crisis situation.

    Nice work random Boston news station.

    CNN just reported that authorities are looking for a "dark-skinned or black man with a black backpack and a black sweatshirt." Also might be a "foreign national."

    So, there's that.

    No shit...from the "lunatic white guy" crap to bashing the president moments after this happened, doesn't something like this, if anything, call for people to chill the fuck out and let things play out? Fuck.

    Peter King on O'Reilly was particularly offensive in all but blaming radical Islamists.

    Too much dead air to fill and too little information. So you blurt out any wild idea that falls into your head.

    Except, of course, the information's been out there on this particular situation for at least two hours.

    I don't really think we can keep politics out of this guys. Seeing how, ya know, it was probably politically motivated.

    No matter what color lunatic did it
