guys kiss your love ones

Boston Globe now reporting 107 at hospitals with injuries from blasts. FBI says it is a terrorist attack, though they don't know if foreign or domestic.

BOLO just put out for a dark skinned or black man with black sweatshirt with accent... apparently this cat tried to get into a restricted area and was denied basically pulled up his hood and split....

Who knows if this turns out to be anything legit.... I am leery to start pointing fingers at anyone --- remember Richard Jewel and his lovely experience with the FBI. That was a complete disgrace.

One of the fatalities was an 8 yr old boy. If they find him, they should do the world a favor and shoot him in the face, and not bother even arresting him.

Horrible.... Just horrible.

BTW -- What are the criteria for something to be called a terror attack? Wouldn't killing a few and injury many be considered terror no matter what your reasons?

 

[DanBengalfan]

The FBI declared it so, but I guess they don't have a real suspect.

Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify them..


I was deeply saddened, then pissed off in a matter of a few hours.. God help us if this is a home grown terrorist cell. And if it is foreign terrorist group, then
we have bigger problems.

And the sick bastards at Westboro Baptist Church are planning to picket the funerals, saying gay marriage is the reason it happened, posting on Twitter "God sent the bombs because of fag marriage". Those people should all die. Nobody would care.

 

[BigBlueNation111]

Prayers go out to all those involved. Sad...just sad...

 

[cravnravn]

Sad is if someone were to do something against Westboro, that person or group could be labeled a terrorist, Groups like Westboro dont deserve constitutional rights, but they fall back on them if a family protests them being present at a funeral.

yea why couldn't something bad happen to those bastards

 

[DanBengalfan]

they are the modern day pharisee and Sadducee.
folks so hung up on religion they can't love other people and just do what God intended them to do, like taking care of the poor, widow, orphan, and if nothing else feed starving children somewhere in the world. What use is it to sit in a pew and talk about how God wants to hear our horrible singing?

 

[beardown07]

The fucking WBC....can we get a terror attack on those worthless pieces of shit, please?

Hey folks, I just returned from Boston. I ran the marathon, but finished about 20-25 minutes before the explosions. I was actually laying on a cot in the medical tent when I heard the blasts. It was absolute bedlam. The city was like a war zone yesterday.

I am so fucking pissed off about this. These sons of bitches need to caught and punished as soon as humanly possible. They mess with one of the most amazing sporting events in the world. The day was beautiful and it was a truly magnificent experience. Then this despicable act is committed. Words cannot describe how crazy, surreal and sad yesterday was.

These bastards will not win. I will be back next year to run in greatest damn foot race in the world.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Dude glad your all right

 

[DanBengalfan]

we should force these assholes to eat their own bodies starting with their family jewels and wang.

 

[UDFlyers90]

Dude glad your all right

Thanks, man. I was there with friends from my running group and we were all very lucky that we made it off the course in time.

I feel the same way. I've always admired the Boston Marathon and am pissed that this now the dialogue when it comes to the event.
