Reports of 2-3 suspicious objects is a far cry from 2-3 confirmed bombs just so you know.

How on earth is he implying that? The former FBI agent on MSNBC right now (Clint Van Zandt) has said these events are targets for terrorism. It's not saying anything what you're assuming.

I was listening to someone called Tom Ridge, apparently. Different phrasings, different intonations, different implications.

I've heard conflicting info. I have a hunch later on it will be popularly confirmed that it was a fire, but atm I think we can't really assume.

Haven't read every single post here, obviously.

But Chris Matthews on MSNBC just floated the idea that maybe this was a right-wing extremist group given that today is tax day?

If this has been brought up, sorry. Anyone think this is a plausible scenario?

Keep in mind, Boston is a large city. They're still trying to figure things out. The only official thing is the words that comes out from the Commissioner's mouth.
