The conspiracy forums all over are already calling it a false flag operation. I find it funny, that a group such as conspiracy theorists, who pride themselves on being more "open minded" and "smarter" than everyone who isn't a conspiracy theorist, are already claiming to know exactly what's happened and why... yet there's no evidence, there's no suspects, the types of devices aren't known, and we literally know NOTHING about this yet other than two bombs went off. But sure, "we're so open minded that it can be only this one thing. Despite any research, facts, or evidence, we just know. It's clearly the government!"

I don't like to call people crazy and stupid, but when their community is this knee-jerky, it's just ridiculous and stupid. Hell, when earthquakes happen now, they knee-jerk to the "IT'S ANOTHER HAARP ATTACK!" Accidents, natural disasters, and attacks don't happen in their world, everything is a false flag.

Must be nice to have it all figured out...
