This is very sad RIP

The Boston PD thinks the Libray is connected.

[Edited 4/15/13 14:08pm]

danger lurks everywhere no matter the neighboorhood or how big or small the event...

You know this sounds cliche but i really have always wondered how someone could do something like this... and kill, injur or mentally harm people they don't even know... people they never spent time with... and yet they want to end this persons life or change it forever in violence.

Human beings are fucked up and crazy creatures.

Thus far a total of 5 bombs have been found. 3 exploded 2 not deitnated

I think its gonna be a homegrown terrorist attack.

I think it's connected I could be wrong

I think the news doesn't want to freak out the locals..

they are straight up lying on the local news casts...

NOW they changed their story from mechanical fire to "explosion, related fire at JFK" and Tufts Medical Center is on lockdown and the swat team is there, possible bomb threat there too.

Streets are now closed off.

Seems like they dispatched swat teams at ALL the hospitals Tufts, BMC, Brigham's and Women's, BU, ... etc.

to protect the paitents there.

My sister and her friends were there, supporting a her best friend in the race... they were injured but are OK. They were feet away from one of the explosions. Minor cuts.

She just called in... thank God, I continue to pray for others.

I came here hoping you would check in...glad to hear your peeps are safe.

I just got off the phone with a good friend whose neice usually runs and this year she chose to run in DC instead.

This world needs some serious healing...

Thankful your family and friends came through OK paintedlady, not withstanding being injured.

My prayers and thoughts for those who've lost loved ones and those who've been critically injured.

Me too.

My first thought was:

"Thank God, Paintedlady doesn't run. She must be okay"

Love you P.lady

Sorry for the people who got hurt.

Very glad you and your family are okay.

What a horrible and evil tragedy.

As of this point, no one has been arrested or listed as a potential suspect, but the police are questioning several people including some of the injured. One of the two dead victims has been reported to be an eight year old girl.

At first, I thought it may have been done by a North Korean spy to instigate an attack on North Korea by the USA, but my gut tells me this is some domestic terrorist related either to a white supremacist group, some NRA gun nut, or some anti-abortion fanatic.

What is the point of killing innocents?

I just wanna say this:

Fuck the media.

Fuck racists of all sorts.

Fuck prejudiced people finding someone or SOMETHING to blame for this.

Just pray for the people of Boston and for the people who are killed by bombings elsewhere too (like in Iraq).

Pray for the world.

Whatever happens, it will get dealt with but wish everyone well and do NOT make it political.

That's all.

To Boston & Iraq:

If anyone wishes to discuss the politics, see the p & r sticky ---> http://prince.org/msg/105/396271 - luv4u

Crazy, crazy sh*t.



I hear that one of the casualties is an 8-year old child.

Someone posted this somewhere on here:

Apparently one of the bombs was put inside a mailbox. As you see in the after photo, the mailbox has been blown to smithereens.

It wasn't the runners who were hurt... it was the spectators that were hurt most by the bombs.

The Boston Marathon is a heavily attended event, people line up to watch the thousands of runners along almost the ENTIRE stretch of the route. More than any other race. That's what makes it fun for the runners and supporters alike.

Tons of folks on the sidelines who support the runners were hurt... yup all those non-runners and I would have been one of them hurt ones if I decided to go like my sister and her friends were.

I unplugged for a bit... made sure everyone was OK and am prayerful to all the families of the wounded and those who lost loved ones.

Is it just me or this sounds like a massive failure from the city authorities to keep the public safe during a city-wide event?

Bombs don't have legs. Those who carried them to the location have obviously been passing through various entry points unhampered (while I'm being searched like a criminal every time I take a plane). Despite claims of 'we don't know yet' by the media, I believe there are people who do know what's going on, and some of them have been closing their eyes and giving the culprits the green light.

I think people never expected any sort of bomb attack in Boston.

This caught people unawares, they are shocked to see this sort of thing happen here. Yes, terrorists attacks happen, but not here... not Boston, until today.

I think if this was expected they would of handled the security of the route differently.

Please pardon me, but could you clarify? Which are you suggesting: negligence or active complicity on the part of authorities? And in either case, are you suggesting the media are somehow in cahoots?
