Lone Wolf

Not that anyone is paying attention to what I think, but the Boston Marathon bombing seems more along the lines of a Lone Wolf terrorist act than an Al Qaeda terrorist plot. I read Terry Turchie's book on the Lone Wolf terrorist (with Kathie Puckett) and even the use of bb's and nails as shrapnel was a signature of the Unabomber. Even the clowns on the news stations are comparing it to the Atlanta Olympic Park bombing (Eric Rudolph) and OKC bombing (Timothy McVeigh), without realizing what they're saying. I just don't see this as being an Al Qaeda plot because their plots try to kill as many people as possible. This bomb was intended to maim a ton of people, the people who died were probably just too close to blast. If the investigative teams have any brains at all, they'll bring in the same FBI people that solved the Unabomber case. In fact, I wouldn't be terribly surprised to find that the perpetrator was a Unabomber fan. I had all this stuff in my head when I was watching the news. I knew I couldn't post it on Facebook or Twitter, so I'm putting it here. I just hope they catch the SOB and blow off his body parts, one at a time... like they did in the opening scenes of RoboCop.
