It's mindblowing all the work the FBI did to get to this point. Two bombs go off in a crowd of thousands, and within 48 hours they've got good leads on the suspects as well as decent pictures of them. Depending on how quickly they identify and capture them, we're seeing how advances in criminal investigations and social media is making committing crimes and getting away with it very tricky.

Might not be there if they dont have the dude, who's picture we saw with no legs, account. He told the fbi the guy dropped the package beside him and looked right at him. So he gave them a huge lead.

I've seen some fucked up shit regarding this. The bodies, the carnage...

But as a father of a 7 year old, who's seen this similar pose many times at different events....this picture is BY FAR the most heartbreaking. Literally, holding back tears at the office this morning seeing this.

Thanks dick...lol.

Seriously. Who needs news. The OC is every bit as reliable.

Me too. I have a 9 year old son and 6 year old daughter. Those could be my kids. And the girl looks a lot like my daughter. Ugh.

This picture really sucks seeing. It's a high-res image from the Marathon explosion. The second suspect (alive one) is seen on the left side of the pic.

I hate all this. Sorry if this was posted before, I didn't sift through everything since I last posted. The picture is large, so I didn't embed it in the thread.
