i just got home from this mess, I'm a born an raised Bostonian. I haven't missed a Marathon Monday in probably 20 years...I jogged from Storrow Drive to Somerville to get home, in jeans....good times. To the douche bag with a conspiracy theory 20 minutes after kids got their legs blow off. Please kill yourself, seriously do society a favor, kill yourself and put it on youtube.

I was at a bar about 3-4 blocks away when this happened. No one panicked, it was pretty tame. At least where I was, I heard it was a little crazy up the street. It was weird the band kept playing, but everyone was watching the tv's or texting on their phones. They actually shut down cell phone (not texting) service for safety in case people were using cell phones to set off the bombs.

Don't worry about Boston we'll persevere, the roots of this town laugh in the face of adversity.
