"Incident" at Boston Marathon

[IPostedWhat]

I send my best to those that are injured and hope the best for them. As far as the politics I will keep my fucking mouth shut, obviously I've struck a few nerves but deserve it because I usually don't talk politics for that reason.

Politics and Religion Boss. 2 Topics you never want to discuss with a group of people because it always turns into a pissing contest.

Everyone wants to be right, and force their views on others, even if they are wrong or misinformed.

The main point is that innocent people were hurt and killed for no reason, and our thoughts and prayers should be with them and their families right now. Also that the person or persons resposible for this cowardly and horrific act are brought to justice.

Good point IPW. That's the most important thing my friend.

Just waking up over here. Terrible news. My thoughts to everyone involved.

I hate just about every politician out there, from US reps on down. they're sleazy crooks who take our money, tell us our benefits are "entitlements" and yet they make huge salaries, show up for work whenever they please, have fat retirement pensions waiting for them, their kids go to any state school for free, they're allowed to deduct their mileage to and from work yet we can't, all on our dime. I'd rather the Mafia run my life than them at this point.

Thoughts and prayers to the victims families and to the City of Boston. Our world we live in has changed so dramatically over really a short time. I guess what upsets me a bit, yet I'm guilty of it, is all the media coverage these horrific events get. We cannot avoid it, television, radio, Internet etc. it's all over and even our children cannot avoid it for the most part. This has really become a fucked up world. I hope I didn't upset anyone with my opinions.

No one deserves to have this happen to them, but I was praying like hell that none of the victims were children.

I'm going to hug mine extra hard tonight.

This is why I haven't watched/read any news feeds and have gotten all of my info filtered by the wonderful people on the NHL General board. I hope I didn't upset anyone with my opinions.

Don't know if this was mentioned yet..so much shit going on...but one of the confirmed dead is an 8 year old child.

where's a 3,000 mile wide meteor when you need one. the human race is hell bent on destroying each other, and everything else in it's path. god should accommodate them

Im not entirely in disagrement with this theory.

I just watched Seeking for a friend for the end of the world with Keira Knightly and Steve Carell. it was really good. I would like to think most would act like them but most likely everyone would go the worst.

this world needs a serious cleansing.

this world needs a serious cleansing.

Starting with: Treat others the same way you would want to be treated.

No, scratch that...just treat yourself and others with respect and dignity.

Very sad news indeed.

Thoughts and prayers to all the victims and those who are trying to save them.



Gotta wonder when one of these incidents is going to make the civilized on earth band together and bring "the whole world" down on those that do these things.

I'm telling you, castration would be an effective violent crime deterrent.

The tagline of this story is pretty deep

For whoever didthis , to show such inhumanity in a time and place which is a celebration of the triumphant human spirit is just appalling

Boston is in everyone's hearts right now.

Despite all the horror, the most moving thing to me was watching so many people - police, army, officials, volunteers, spectators, even runners themselves - run straight towards the bomb blast, putting themselves in potential harm's way, to help complete strangers.

There are horrible people out there for sure, and whoever did this is near the top. But there are many more decent, caring, and sacrificing people out there too.

Wishing the best to everyone in Boston right now, and to our Boston posters, you guys have an amazing city and you'll come back stronger.

True, I just wish I heard more about these people when there isn't a horrific tragedy involved.

Good deeds are like yawns, infectious when you see them.

Never sure if these things are true or not...but if so...well, I'm crying, so.
