On April 15, 2013, the annual Boston Marathon both started and ended with a bang. The bang at the finish line was from a pressure-cooker bomb placed by brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The blast immediately killed three and injured hundreds.

The bombing in Boston has a virtual cornucopia of false flag conspiracies surrounding it, with Roseanne Barr being one of the more recognizable subscribers.

One popular theory promoted by blogger Sheila Casey is that all the injuries were faked. Regarding photos of the carnage that day, Casey asks, “In the lower right corner of the photo above is a bottle containing a liquid the same color as the blood now on the sidewalk. Did the red liquid on the sidewalk come out of this bottle?”

Someone quite familiar with blood — Dr. Michael Emery — was at the finish line that day, treating dehydrated runners. Emery vividly recalled, “I don’t think I can even describe it to make people realize what it looked like. To stand in the middle of that, I mean, there were just pools of blood on the sidewalk…the smell of blood, the smell of smoke, screaming, sirens.”

Tamerlan died before police could question him, but Dzhokhar Tsarnaev admitted to, apologized for, and received the death sentence for his part in the tragedy.
