Explosion in Boston

[chargerboy69]

An explosion at the Boston Marathon.  May God be with those injured and their families.

[JB400]

Unfortunately, 2 casualties   Best of wishes to their families and the ones injured

[mrsskip68]

Just sickening!!!  Fricken psycho cowards! 

[Fred]

Too sad. Why can't we all just live and let live. Why is that so hard. 

[Ponch ®]

my admittedly uninformed and completely speculative guess? Some wacky trying to make a "statement" on tax day. 

[mrsskip68]

Just heard an 8yr old child was killed.  That is MURDER, plain and simple!!!

[Mytur Binsdirti]

I just got home from NH & the local news here is non-stop. There are at least 98 people injured & one of the dead is an 8 year old boy. Because there were so many news crews at th finish line, there is multiple footage of injured people getting taken away on wheelchairs. 

There was another explosion at the JFK Library about an hour later & they are unsure at this point if they are related.

Right now, there is a lockdown of the parking garage at Mass General Hospital due to a tip of some sorts.

What a wonderful world we have.  This is why I live on 45 acres in the middle of nowhere Wa ...

[Wicked72]

And it happens again....we run in fear for our families and lives. Again we start to question everything, everyone and keep an eye over our shoulders. Hopefully swift justice.... 

I live hours from the city in a very small town however ill be avoiding the city even thou i work close and avoiding town for a little as well and any where i go for awhile ill be strapped and leaving the family at home if we need anything.
Everyone please be careful.

Its war.........it's been war for decades. The expression "I love my country but fear my government" comes to mind. Another horror has happened on our soil to our countryman. Those poor folks. The reality for me is the government over time has had it's fingers in too many pies and now it's coming back on us. Not all of our government just the ones trusted with the reins.

Worse it will get folks........I won't live in fear but I will be watching my six.

Sometimes I wish I could have my life back (be young again) and then you see this shit and you can only guess at what tomorrow will bring and I think, thank God I won't be hear to witness it.  Mankind is getting shittier by the day. They can remove compassion from the dictionary now.

3 reported dead now, over 130 injured, 10 missing limbs.   

My prayers will be with those affected.

[projectanimal]

This is horrible...  They start the race with a moment of silence for Sandyhook, and they end with this.... WTF.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all people involved.   The video and pictures are horrible.

Europe, the Middle East and other parts of the world have been living in fear of bombings for many years. It has finally come to North America. I really hope bombings are not going to become as common place over here as they are over there. No guns, no knives, just leave bombs in public places!  I am afraid we will find that this was done by a "home grown" lunatic. Organized terror groups would have claimed responsibility by now.

[skip68]

I agree with you Paul.    I'm thinking some kind of homeland nutjob.   

[dyslexic teddybear]

A nutjob that wants to be famous.....

Thanks to our 24/7 news......will get what he/she/it wants.

[skip68]

I feel bad for the sandyhook folks.   Maybe now some of the people see that the most dangerous weapon of all is a sick mind.   I don't care what this idiots cause was, there's no justifying targeting soft targets.   Just sick.  If we get those responsible I hope they get the death penalty.   

[twodko]

Bravo Fred and Skip! Spot on. 

[Paul G]

You know where this will go. If there is any chance that this nut job was an NRA member, conservative, religious Christian, or even a boy scout with wilderness training it will be turned in to "he was a fanatically person trying to advance his cause for......... whatever" as long as it can be twisted in to more legislation that takes away more rights and freedoms from us. 

[polywideblock]

 the news over here are already saying its a pro gun group, protesting gun control . probably total crap as they were also saying that they have someone in custody already!

[mrsskip68]

Last check no one in custody. As far as pro gun groups i call flat out bulls*&T!!!!!! Havnt heard that crap yet, but there is so much BS out there already who knows......

[A383Wing]

they are talking to "a person of interest"...he's not in custody or arrested, but he's not allowed to go free either

from what I heard out here, the bomb at the library did not go off, they disarmed it and are studying it to try and find who made it

   That's the first thing that came to mind when I heard that it was dedicated to the Sandhook families and some were there.   Some asshat trying to make a point.  Nobody knows yet what motive this was but it won't surprise me if there is a connection....
