You say that they are white guys, someone else says they are Pakistani, someone else says Iranian.

You're all so sure it's the group you want it to be.

We'll find out soon enough, arguing on the internet won't change the facts.

I know what Iranian and Pakistani guys look like. These guys are definitely white.

So how do you explain the 1976 Grand Central Station bombing? It was a pressure cooker bomb too and they got the instructions from the good old Anarchist Cookbook.

Or do we just want to ignore that fact?

So where did the AC get their "recipe" from and when was the last pressure cooker bombing in America by Americans? Some facts are indeed ignorable.

Those were actually far more complex and sophisticated than this attack, because they had the support of Al-Queda's network.

These bombs were relatively amateurish, making me think that it's the work of white right-wingers.

Wait you still believe they are white rightwing extremists after these images and video have been released?

Definitely. It confirms it. Those are white guys. I can tell just by the way they're dressed, posture, everything. 100% certain.

We people are so superficial it is just amazing. We're concerned about these events but don't pay any attention whatsoever to how we're living and what we're doing. I'm no different so I don't want to act like I'm better.

People are now all excited and curious about these two photos like anything has changed. It is the same BS we're doing over and over again. That is why violence will occur in this world over and over again. There will be no security whatsoever unless there is a change in how people live.

The hypocritical Americans claim to live in a great country yet that same country is responsible for killing millions upon millions of people and creating animosity. Yet when someone comes over to kill their "fellow" Americans, we're shocked and outraged. I thought the so-called Christians knew about the "Eye for an eye"?

When we accidentally kill dozens of innocent children in Afghanistan or Pakistan or Iraq, it is a mere accident. Even if it were, the people in those countries will no doubt have hatred in their hearts. How many terrorists will this create? And the cycle will go on and on. It never ends, no matter what your politicians tell you.

The hypocrites in the West talk about peace and love yet they have perfected the art of mass killing. Their laser guided systems can pinpoint the target, whether a person or a building. And they are continuously perfecting their killing machines. Yet they preach love and kindness and equality. All a bunch of BS.

It's too bad that the Eastern cultures are abandoning their own way of living and rapidly adopting the Western culture in every way. That's not to say the Eastern way of living is any better. So that means that ruthlessness is increasingly spreading in the world yet we talk about fairness and equality.

Unfortunately, things don't look too good for the world at this moment.

Notice, the motivations all line up for white RWE, not Muslim extremists

-- tax day

-- gun bill in Senate

-- race dedicated to Newtown

Reasons it's not Muslim extremists

-- no video claiming responsibility. Or, short of that, nothing from US security agencies indicating Jihadist chatter about their successful attack.

-- Doesn't fit in Muslim terrorist typical targets. Which are going to be in global finance centers, symbols of global capitalism and modernity (Times Square, WTC) or US military power (Pentagon, USS Cole)

Lastly

-- resembles Eric Rudolph's 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing very much

Denial is not a river in Egypt.

Denial is probably one of the best known defense mechanisms, used often to describe situations in which people seem unable to face reality or admit an obvious truth (i.e. "He's in denial."). Denial is an outright refusal to admit or recognize that something has occurred or is currently occurring. Drug addicts or alcoholics often deny that they have a problem, while victims of traumatic events may deny that the event ever occurred.

Denial functions to protect the ego from things that the individual cannot cope with. While this may save us from anxiety or pain, denial also requires a substantial investment of energy. Because of this, other defenses are also used to keep these unacceptable feelings from consciousness.

Notice they have labeled me as a right winger again, I guess next you're going to say I am a Christian extremist gun owning member of the Tea Party, right? Yeah, a lot of them voted for Obama so I can see why you'd say that.....wait, what???

Look like the loony left pity party is still marching on in here.

:thumbsup:

exactly, denial is the moving force of all nutso conspiracists. One needs to have a strong denial quotient to outright deny plain facts and evidence that rejects their loony conspiracies.

I am glad you realize this.

So when you are officially wrong will you admit you were wrong and apologize to Conservatives?

It was also Israels 65th birthday and the birthright of NK founder

None motives you suggest align with the target. RWE would go after gov (which hasn't happened often at all) and not random Americans at a race. Tehy wouldn't kill people because a race was dedicated to Newtown lol.

Iran and Al Qaeda have been promising strikes for months.

He was that close to the blast? I guess that's the video the FBI has where they saw him plant it and getting away. Like he set down a big firework and is getting the hell outta there.

conservatives don't care for the RWE's either.

translation: you don't understand what conservatism is.

No no no, don't bitch out on this. Just like you people say conservatives are anti islam or anti middle easterns your outright laying blame on conservatives. You have already called out the Tea Party saying they are extreme which compared to OWS is laughable.

So when you are wrong you had best apologize to ALL conservatives, Republican, Libertarian, Constitutionalists, Independent fiscal conservatives, everyone.

I better see an entire post dedicated to appologizing to Spidey, PC Surgeon, Anarchist, and even Incorruptible. You're horribly wrong and you know it. You're no better than MSNBC outright saying it was a radical rightwing attack 5 seconds after peoples legs got blown off.

The primary sponsor was the John Hancock Financial company which would be a prime target for the Occupy Wallstreet crowd. Both appear to be in their early twenties which is the most common age of the Occupy Wallstreet crowd.

This tragedy reminds me that we are living in the future. Look at the immense manpower of collective internet crunching the countless photos taken on the day of the event. This is crowd-sourcing at its best. These scums are on borrowed time.

Even the white-hat guy doesn't look white. Ethnic big nose.

Thankfully, we have the FBI and surveillance cameras since not a single internet wannabe crime sleuth even identified these guys beforehand but instead identified innocent people as the bombers.
