29. I agree

My first suspicion -- and that's all it is, a suspicion -- was that
it was done by a Tim McVeigh-type of angry U.S. radical who identifies
with the Tea Party:

It happened on Income Tax Deadline Day.

It happened in Boston.

It happened on a state holiday called "Patriots' Day" which
commemorates the start of the Revolutionary War.

It happened 4 days before the anniversary of OK City bombing.

It may turn out that an Al Qaida-type terrorist group is responsible.
In the end, whoever is responsible is an evil asshole first and foremost.
