New Hampshire Legislator Claims Boston Bombing Was An Inside Job Because Victim Looked Calm

By Josh Israel on May 2, 2013 at 10:30 am


Several days after suggesting the Boston Bombing was perpetrated by the U.S. government, New Hampshire State Rep. Stella Tremblay (R-NH) doubled down on the claim Tuesday. In an interview on the radio show of anti-government conspiracy theorist Pete Santilli, Tremblay opined that since photos of a victim who lost his legs did not appear to show him “in shock” or “screaming in agony,” the attack must have been staged.

Citing Alex Jones and his conspiracy theory site Infowars, Tremblay notes that while she once believed 9/11 was a real attack by terrorists, 9/11 “truthers” have opened her eyes. This attack too, she argues, was a “Black Ops” attack staged — apparently unconvincingly — by the federal government:

TREMBLY: And the more I looked at this, in my heart, something told me there’s something wrong here. You just have to look at that backpack and you can see. If there’s an explosion, the backpack is blown to smithereens. There’s nothing left. What was it doing just laying there? Then, my first gut reaction seeing the horror of that person that had their legs blown off… you know, with the bone sticking out? And he was not in shock. I looked and I thought there’s something… I don’t know what’s wrong, but it seems surreal to me. I talked to my sister, who’s not into politics at all, and she said, “Yea, I saw the same thing.” He was not in shock. He was not in pain. If I had had those type of injuries, I’d be screaming in agony.

I did not experience pain right away.

More like incredulity.

I was able to pick my finger up from the door jamb, walk into the office, and kick the guy who closed the door on me firmly in the nuts.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't faking it.

The pain came days later, when the pain killers wore off.

I agree with you. The guy was in adrenaline shock.

The animal part of our body takes over in these situations. The mind goes on vacation.

I wish I had gone into shock- maybe. I was in agony- bone protruding from leg, blood, all alone. phone upstairs, me at the bottom of the stairs. It still freaks me out to think about. I had to crawl on my belly out the door and up my driveway and down the dirt road to my neighbors and yell for help. I passed out from the pain a couple of times. oth, if I'd gone into shock, maybe I wouldn't have been able to move.

bone protruding from leg, blood, all alone...

And your survival instinct kicked in.

You did what you had to do to survive.

Adrenaline is a powerful drug.

I had help from my dog too. she walked beside me the whole way alternating between licking my face and barking. But I never though I was actually in a life threatening situation- just horrible pain. much worse than childbirth.

Is she an M.D.? An explosives expert? Or is she just another rw gasbag with an obvious predisposition to unsupported hysterical CT?

She listens to Glenn Beck and Alex Jones. Question answered.

That's mind bogglingly stupid. Did she actually think the person with legs blown off was taking it casually? To me, the victim looked like they were about to faint.

Is he in on some conspiracy? What an F-ing tool. I hope recall efforts are underway.

Such an embarrassment to this state. And I thought Ayotte was bad. Must be something in the water up north.
