Man shut up with all this who-did-it BS. Does it matter who pulled off this travesty right now? No. Let’s try to absorb the events that transpired today and take a moment to send our thoughts to all those effected, in addition to reflecting on our own lives and how god-damn uncertain life is.

There needs to be a scapegoat so all the insecurities go away.
/sarcasm
This is a tragedy. It’s sick that people do things like this. I hope all injured victims pull through.

cbear was always a stupid cunt. I remember when she told a military vet on here who was serving active duty that he should resign his commission because he was weak cuz he was looking for female companionship on the interwebz.

cbear… what a nut case.
Found out my brother was right at the area minutes before the blasts, I’m so happy that his gf wanted to take the T to Cambridge and went for food instead of going back to the finish line. I AM SO RELIEVED, the sheer thought of my little brother being in an explosion is bringing tears to my eyes, let alone if anything actually ever happened to him.
As a person who comes from Boston, today is Patriot’s Day. Regardless of your politics and/or creed, we are all Americans. United We Stand.
Today we are all Bostonians
I wonder if anybody noticed some random guy placing bags around tow/three different areas?

I think this was a coordinated attack that took more than one person to do.
Police found secondary devices all across the city.
Isn’t there only one other such detonation device confirmed and destroyed thus far?

A controlled explosion next to the library in about a minute from now from the bomb squad, also all off duty officers have been called in
Police scanner: JFK library on fire, more undetonated explosives found.
"Homeland Security source tells me Boston Firefighters discovered an undetonated device at corner of St. James Ave and Trinity place
Another planned explosion at Boylston St for controlled detonation.
AP Confirms at least 2 more devices were found and are going to be detonated in a controlled fashion
One device was found “on the glass footbridge over Huntington Ave near Copley place”; the other, “Another suspicious package was reported near the Harvard #MBTA station” Also, according to the globe: Police have cordoned off a block of commonwealth, where there’s a suspicious “device.”
Many sources on twitter in the last minute, as well as a redditor with a firefighter friend, and scanners reporting a possible bomb or explosion at TUFTS medical center (where 9 of the injured have been taken.) As always, take iwth a grain of salt til we get a confirmation.
Reports of “smoking package”. Approximate location 250 Longwood. Bombsquad in route.
I have a few friends that live in Boston. One of my buddies told me that he was about 100ft to the exlposion. Said there were just bodies laying everywhere, even some extremeties n shit just laying around.
Thoughts and prayers to everyone involved.

im glad to hear man.
this is just absolutely horrible, why would someone do this?
the link has got some graphic pictures so be careful.
The person responsible should be tortured and left to rot. The justice system is far too lenient.
Yea terror. Fuckin’ assholes. Reserving further judgments until said assholes are caught. Prayers for the victims.

Take this for what it is worth, and I may be wrong, but this doesn’t feel like an international terrorist act. I’m posting at 5:22 central time on April 15th, 2013.
First, it is April 15th. I know its a stretch, but; April 19, 1995 - Oklahoma City, April 19, 1993 - End of Waco Standoff. This is the time of year that some of our homegrown crazies get their panties in a bunch. It is also income tax day.
Also, from the video I’m seeing and the descriptions of injuries, we seem to be dealing with fairly small devices - pipe bombs perhaps. International terrorists don’t use pipe bombs…local nut jobs do.
Again, I’m nobody special. Just someone and I could be wrong. Just my thoughts at this time. [/quote]
Not necessarily. I can’t imagine a terrorist thinking to himself that detonating an explosive device at an event such as the Boston Marathon is a failure because it’s a certain device, that isn’t their primary concern. Since it’s killed or wounded multiple people, it’s both international and domestic news and it’s caused fear and panic it’s been a successful attack.
CNN report has another person of interest, a dark skinned man with an accent.

It just gets better.
So I get that people are probably angry and upset… so…
[quote][i]Boston. F***ing horrible.
I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, ‘Well, I’ve had it with humanity.’
But I was wrong. I don’t know what’s going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.
But here’s what I DO know. If it’s one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). Thisis a giant planet and we’re lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they’re pointed towards darkness.
But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We’d have eaten ourselves alive long ago.
So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, ‘The good outnumber you, and we always will.’[/i][/quote]
Read and absorb. I find it helps.
