Various news reports of an arrest in the Boston Marathon Bombing, or an impending arrest.

Remember, early reports the day of the bombing were inaccurate — so don’t bank on it yet. Not sure if this amateur sleuthing was accurate or not.

I’m not going to link to it.

It’s just more David Sirota link bait.

Forcing a rant about “white privilege” and white men into any situation, no matter how ridiculous, has become his schtick.
