Wow.
Wow. Two (confirmed) bombs explode at the #BostonMarathon and at least one that has been found unexploded (according to various news sources).
This is amazing and tragic at the same time: amazing that, in the aftermath of 9/11 and all the rights we've lost to the war on terror that a person or people can still create and carry explosives to attack innocent bystanders; and tragic for the lives lost, the sense of security lost and the the repercussions of this event.

Also, I expect a few more of these events.
You're right, Allen Hildebrandt, he who controls the narrative controls everything. The government can pretty much blame it on anyone they want now and then claim the source for their determination is top secret and we'll never know, or not know for years.
Heck, some people still believe Bush's lies about Iraq prompting our 2003 invasion even thought Bush admitted there was no correlation between al-Qaeda and Iraq and multiple sources have given light to the lies.
But I mostly expect my first speculative scenario.
for a home grown terrorist is so conservative that everyone is the enemy.
social isolation breeds such people, even it's your grandmother being the neighbourhood gossip.
you've already judged me. i never made such a call on anyone yet.
I've played bloody and violent videogames my entire life since I was a kid and you will never see me even killing a mouse.
You can't blame videogames, you can blame bullying and lack of attention and the like.
This does not make them killers. This is what is called a "False Correlation" in logic.
obviously you people never spend that much time on the computers.
My point is video game use leads to changes in behavior specifically loss of sleep. If you lose more than half your normal average of sleep, then your mental faculties will be impaired no matter how much caffeine you drink.
Insomnia is too a symptom that begins with basic fears and anxieties which often have anger as the root issue. Thus it is anger and fear which are the root of insomnia and the descent into hypomania, mania and psychosis IF the root issues are never addressed.
Most people cannot stand losing sleep. After 16 hours, their behavior does change and includes hallucinations. After 24 hours, without dealing with them, a person will develop anxiety and the first signs of psychosis.
The only cure for this is sleep. This is why most antipsychotic medication are nothing more than sedatives, be it thorazine, seroquel or abilify.
A mentally ill person needs more rest than a normal person. Computers and mental illness do not mix. This was proven in Lepine's case; Gill's and possibly even Cho's.
Anyway, I have stated only opinion. I take no responsibility for anyone misunderstanding what I have written, as it is up to each of us to transcend the usual gut reaction to what I have presented.
Hallucinations usually set in after between 36 and 42 hours without Rapid Eye Movement (REM).
