Today is 4/19, Tender: The end of the Waco standoff and the Oklahoma City Bombing. The holiest of days for all anti-government sociopaths.

This doesn't have anything to do with Columbine.

Yeah, but the Columbine anniversary is tomorrow.

And I think someone with guns has actually more to do with that, rather than the OC Bombing or Waco. (if it does not have anything to do with the Marathon suspects)

Or it could have nothing to do with any anniversary.  Sometimes nutjobs decide to do nutjobby things without it being the anniversary of something.

Apparently someone dropped the f-bomb on WCVB and the reporter began to apologize and then said, "You know what, it's 2 Am and bullets have been fired."

This is how normal people behave, you see.

What's your point?

Societal rules against swearing are usually suspended in times of great stress.  Just something to think about, that's all.

What are the laws regarding hand grenades in the United States?

Apparently legal to own, but virtually impossible to buy legally.

These people are (or are at least related to) the marathon suspects. Bet on it.

Plus, the weapons in use aren't important.

Boston Globe says these people are the two marathon suspects; one is in custody.

Yeah, could be true as well.

But I still think that it could have to do with the Marathon suspects: Someone from the university staff could have recognized the suspects and informed the police and as they arrived the suspects tried to flee with guns and explosives.

It's just strange that someone would start shooting on a campus in the middle of the night ...

We'll see ...

Good job by the police then that they got at least 1 alive.

At a heavy price though, with 1 officer dead.

Suffice it to say it's been a week Massachusetts is never liable to forget. At least the police have one and know who else to look for.

It has to be approved by the County sheriff, fill out the forum, get fingerprinted, go through a background check, and pay a $200 tax per grenade.

If the 2nd suspect is hiding in a upper floor of a house right now, the chances are really slim that they get him alive ...

I didn't say otherwise.  You seem to be insinuating that I disapproved of it or something.

Apparently one of the people they arrested was later released. He had a backpack, so I guess they wanted to take no chances. That could have been the guy they have video for?

Edit: I'm following Reddit, listening to the scanner, so this should all probably be taken with a grain of salt.

Conflicting info from WDWH Boston: One suspect is dead; the two of them were involved in a 7/11 robbery (so not the marathon bombers??)
