There has been more that enough talk about today's events at the Boston Marathon with the last accounts being that two bombs exploded and a third found intact. The first thing the authorities have done if find the nearest Arab and arrest him for questioning.
I have a hunch that this has nothing to do with disgruntled Arabs and everything to do with disgruntled Northeaster White Guys. The last time something like this happened was when the Federal Bldg in Oklahoma City was demolished and, sure enough, the first order of business was to find the nearest Arab, as hard as that was in the center of Midwest United States.
We all know how that turned out. Two angry white men arrested, one executed and the other put in jail for life. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude that where there is smoke, there is fire. The two caught militants were the tip of the iceberg and the Feds were not about to stick their heads under the water the see the rest of the berg.
Boston is and has been for a long time a hotbed of Irish and Italian racial tension against other ethnicity's. The current high unemployment in that city along with the animosity to the current president and all of the other social, political and economic pressure in that place leads right to the conclusion that this is nothing more than simmering animosities and an impulse to lash out.
Once again though, I fully expect that some dullard who's not paying attention will be arrested, arm twisted to plead out and sentenced before any real questions are asked. He'll probably be some non white ethnic who can and will be scapegoated and further aggravate the already sore underbelly of the northeastern whites.
And so it is in the good ole US of A.
