UM Coach: Bomb Sniffing Dogs, Spotters on Roofs Before Explosions

University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines.
 
"They kept making announcements to the participants do not worry, it's just a training exercise," Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15.

Stevenson said he saw law enforcement spotters on the roofs at the start of the race. He's been in plenty of marathons in Chicago, D.C., Chicago, London and other major metropolitan areas but has never seen that level of security before.
 
"Evidently, I don't believe they were just having a training exercise," Stevenson said. "I think they must have had some sort of threat or suspicion called in."

CNN reports a state government official said there were no credible threats before the race.

Stevenson had just finished the marathon before the explosions. Stevenson said his wife had been sitting in one of the seating sections where an explosion went off, but thankfully she left her seat and was walking to meet up with him.

"We are just so thankful right now," Stevenson said.


the facts are in

they were conducting a drill at that event

just like the london bombings

= inside job...be at peace

____________

The atomic bombings of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan were conducted by the United States during the final stages of World War II in 1945. The two events are the only use of nuclear weapons in war to date.
Following a firebombing campaign that destroyed many Japanese cities, the Allies prepared for a costly invasion of Japan. The war in Europe ended when Nazi Germany signed its instrument of surrender on 8 May, but the Pacific War continued. Together with the United Kingdom and the Republic of China, the United States called for a surrender of Japan in the Potsdam Declaration on 26 July 1945, threatening Japan with "prompt and utter destruction". The Japanese government ignored this ultimatum, and the United States deployed two nuclear weapons developed by the Manhattan Project. American airmen dropped Little Boy on the city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, followed by Fat Man over Nagasaki on 9 August.
Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000–80,000 in Nagasaki, with roughly half of the deaths in each city occurring on the first day. The Hiroshima prefecture health department estimated that, of the people who died on the day of the explosion, 60% died from flash or flame burns, 30% from falling debris and 10% from other causes. During the following months, large numbers died from the effect of burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, compounded by illness. In a US estimate of the total immediate and short term cause of death, 15–20% died from radiation sickness, 20–30% from burns, and 50–60% from other injuries, compounded by illness. In both cities, most of the dead were civilians, although Hiroshima had a sizeable garrison.
On 15 August, six days after the bombing of Nagasaki, Japan announced its surrender to the Allies, signing the Instrument of Surrender on 2 September, officially ending World War II. The bombings led, in part, to post-war Japan's adopting Three Non-Nuclear Principles, forbidding the nation from nuclear armament. The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender and their ethical justification are still debated.

you are mistaken light, they didn't deliberately target civillians, they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time , I wish you would stop spreading this vicious rumour.

the nukes were sent to blow up a soldier in Nagasaki and his collegue in Hiroshima. The other 250 000+ deaths were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

To my mind, it matters little what the reasons or motivations behind this atrocity were about. What matters is that the perpetrators are apprehended and dealt with in the manner they deserve.

A despicable, low act.

And before everyone starts going off the rails and blaming the 'usual suspects' or the suspects de jour, it should be remembered that the US government is quite capable of sacrificing its own, and burning women and children. Remember Waco?

The most distressing factor to me is, not the actual method, but the fact that civilians, and their collective celebrations, have become legitimised targets for those with an agenda.

War, ever abhorrent, used to be confined between recognisable opponents, warriors all, comprised of both the stupid, the brave and the noble.

In today's world and wars, there are no distinctions between warrior and civilian. Therein lies a difference. Terrorism combines a warrior's heart and a murderer's means.

Death to terrorists, wherever they be found, of whatever conviction, motivation or affiliation.

They are not warriors, they are those who would murder the innocent.

Look at the "egalitarian" left rejoicing in the death of others.

Snigger all you wish. It's merely the modern perversion of the old guerrilla tactics practised in previous wars.

One thing for certain, the 'War on Terror' will be just as effective as the 'War on Drugs', until we uncover the people responsible.

And the chances of that are?

The US media, the politicians, the police ~ everyone in an official position is scared shitless of mentioning the possibility that these explosions could very well be sponsored by Islam and delivered by Muslims.

US officialdom has yet to divest itself of its politically correct funk, and start to confront the fact that within its own borders there are millions of Muslims who look to the Middle East for both spiritual and political guidance.

It's time to close the gates against further Muslim immigration, and start an intense program of assimilating America's Muslims into the national culture and its Christian ethos, and those who prove to be culturally intransigent should be deported back to their ancestral homelands.

It's time the US stopped its overseas military adventures and started dealing with its own homegrown enemies who live in the Muslim enclaves throughout the country.

Not a pogrom, but a sorting out of those who are loyal to the US and those who are not.

There are way too many Islamic rats-in-the-national-silos of the US, Britain and Australia.

The time for our politicians to stop glad-handing and kowtowing to the Muslim leadership in Western countries has long since arrived.

Dear Herbert ,
I understand your good intentions but you'll look very silly
if it turns out to be a white American right winger.

Absolutely! That's what prompted the comment.

Social commentary, however veiled and aged, is always worth revisiting.

Probably contra to most public opinion, I have found Eastwood to be a most astute social commentator, particularly of his own society.

There was comment made in another thread about critical thinking. This applies to many of his movies - the underlying lesson or moral to be gleaned from the overall theatrical presentation.

Admittedly, there exists a distinct lack of political correctness in his portrayals of characters - but, given his age, what else could you expect?

Not at all. Your comprehension skills need a little honing. At no point have I said it is Muslims who are the perpetrators.

Read the post again.

I was making the point that anyone asked to speculate about this bombing has been at pains not to use the 'M' word lest this 'offend' the paranoid sensitivities of the US's huge Muslim population.

'Stop the grovelling' is what I'm saying. Stop pussy-footing around with these people who abhor any sort of weakness, and who are closet cheer-leaders for those among them who dare to visit violence against the US on its own home ground.
