Multiple explosions at conclusion of Boston marathon

Was his reply to me suggesting that seals would only be there due to a specific threat.

Not sure what he meant by "people like that", but no, they don't send Navy Seals to do routine security work at large sporting events. I can only assume he meant people trained to a higher degree in this sort of thing than a regular officer. Even if they knew of a specific threat, it wouldn't have anything to do with Seals. I'm sure there are plenty of wasteful government agencies that would be called to deal with it.

Ya he could only mean military special forces really. That's what I found surprising.

I can't see any circumstances where special forces would be used as security at a large sporting event. Or any event for that matter. It doesn't make any sense. Even if it does happen, it certainly isn't common. Shit like this is way below what they are trained/used for.

I'm just posting pics from another site bud. Just trying to add to the drama.


But would Navy Seals show up at an event like this without there being a specific threat do you think? Forget the dudes with the skull hats on. Just in general.

Another guy like them spotted right after the bombing -- most likely with a radiation detector.

Someone who said they run the race says these guys are always around -- especially since 911.

Just like police in training are used to direct traffic at construction sites the trainees for some of the elite divisions of the army will be sent to large public gatherings. If they are in uniform they are there for the purposes of making the place appear secure. If there was a credible threat they would be there but you wouldn`t see them.

You are correct, domestic situations unless at a time of war are not Special Forces. It is CIA/FBI/NSA/DARPA and specific high level entities within each. Much of it you wouldnt know about, by design.

That is not to say Special Forces missions couldn't happen here, the odds are just low as they have there hands full with wars over seas. The CIA/FBI have all the resources necessary. Essentially the equivalent of Special Forces/Delta Force, just domestically focused and with a different chain of command than the military.

Also what is that picture of above. That wire out of his ear could be an undercover agent with a wired ear piece for communication, looking for anything out of the ordinary. Not to mention he is fit, clean cut and looks much more like an agent, than a bomb dropper.

I have met active duty special forces out and about, but only became aware of what they were because someone made me aware that knew them personally. They generally look more average guy, or runner rather than rambo. In 40+ years, I don't think I have seen one advertise it outside possibly a military funeral, or maybe a wedding if they're wearing their dress uniform with some insignia or something. I am sure military guys here might recognize a tattoo or patch, but I don't think they are advertising much as a deterrent. I am far from a military expert, but I don't think you are seeing active duty special forces protecting sporting events. I think it's very likely some private contractor, who is likely comprised of ex-military personnel, but not active duty guys. I have a guy who graduated with me who worked for blackwater and he wore their shit all the time at the gym, but he was retired from the military, and was never a special forces guy either to my knowledge. Like I said, I am no expert, but it seems like some aren't understanding the distinction between private contractors, gov't agencies, and active duty military special forces members. I would be shocked to see the latter used in this capacity. I know we have ex-military guys here who can probably straighten it out, and it's possible I'm wrong, but it would surprise me.

He always posts shit like that. Then when he is asked for a source or to elaborate, he disappears. He must just make this shit up in his head.

given his expertise in special forces and the science behind the biological weapons being sent out today, 408 should be here any time to explain it to us

[4Dragons]

Ya already established it was a punisher hat.


But as a side argument 4dragons seems confident that Navy Seals would be at an event like this as a matter of standard practice. Just incase something did go down or w/e.


Found that surprising.

I didn't say Navy Seals, I said FEDS. In this case I would suspect DHS, which probably has a *ahem* hand-full of ex-special forces on the payroll. And yes, without being specific, quite confident.

He won't claim it to be his expertise. He'll say he has a "buddy" who is an expert. Amazing that with all these "buddies" he has, he complains about being alone all the time. It's almost as if he is full of shit.

Was me who mentioned Navy Seals and you replied that forces of that ilk would be at every big event such as a marathon. You did actually strongly imply that.

You even found it funny that I wouldn't already believe this.


Comparing a FED to a Navy Seal is like comparing an apple to an orange.

I don't like 4chan myself, but they do good work at times.

And probably have figured out more than FBI/cops have.

UPDATE: Numerous Injuries Reported In West Fertilizer Plant Explosion

WACO (April 17, 2013)—Emergency crews from throughout Central Texas responded Wednesday night after a major explosion at a burning fertilizer plant in West north of Waco.

West firefighters were dispatched to the plant earlier in the evening after an earlier fire rekindled.

The explosion was reported at around 7:50 p.m. in a frantic radio call from the scene of the fire at West Fertilizer at 1471 Jerry Mashek Dr. just off Interstate 35.

Numerous injuries were reported and multiple ambulances were requested.

Several buildings were reported destroyed and a nearby nursing home was damaged.

There were reports that people were trapped in the nursing home and in an apartment building.

Scanner traffic indicated that some residents of both the nursing home and apartment building were severely injured.

Children are among the victims, according to reports from the scene.

Department of Public Safety troopers transported some victims to hospitals in patrol cars, said Gayle Scarbrough at the DPS Communications Center in Waco.

A triage area was established at the intersection of Haven and North Reagan Streets, but it was later moved to Marable Street and Meadow Drive because of the potentially toxic smoke from the fire.

Six helicopters were en route to West and were landing at the baseball field on Tokio Road, south of town, said Gayle Scarbrough, Department of Public Safety Communications in Waco.

A number of buildings were reported to be burning, some in residential areas and evacuations were underway

(CNN) -- An arrest has been made in connection with possibly contaminated letters sent to President Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker, the Department of Justice said Wednesday.
Paul Kevin Curtis was arrested by the FBI at his home in Corinth, Mississippi, the department said in a statement.
Discovered Tuesday, the letters were addressed to Wicker, a Mississippi Republican, and to Obama. The justice department release said a third letter was sent to a Mississippi justice official.
The letters to Wicker and Obama were stopped at a government mail-screening facility after initial tests indicated the presence of the deadly poison ricin.

Why do you insist on inferring that you have a clue? Go google Department of Homeland Security and come back when you at least have the most basic of knowledge of what you are talking about.

sure hope they catch the perps so they can become College Professors like

Bill Ayres, Bernadine Dorn and Kathy Boudin

domestic terrorist professors are in high demand
