Ahh, good old tax day. You can smell the freedom and liberty in Boston. Terrorized Enough Already?
Really?

There's not much for them to go after. No backpacks (or more bag searches maybe)? But that is already enforced in a lot of places already, so that's nothing new.I haven't even began looking into how what where or who was injured or killed. This is obviously a sad situation but the first thing that comes to mind is "What freedoms are they going to go after next"? Its coming and you know it.

Why is it OK or acceptable to speculate that this attack was perpetrated by a non-government entity (lone nut, domestic terrorists, Saudi nationals, etc...), but not OK or acceptable to speculate that this attack was perpetrated by a government entity?
What's the difference?

Some of you are real assholes...
Way to take this incident as a chance to crack jokes about banning things.
You are a pathetic excuse for a human being and a piece of shit. Using the deaths of innocent people to make a political point.
You are nothing but a coward.

Isn't that better than the people who take incidents like this to really ban things? :hmm:
My thoughts and prayers are with the victims.
We live in a society that lets sociopathic rich folks pay other rich folks to tell the middle class that the poor or people who do not conform to their view of establishment are subhuman/takers/parasites. Hopped up on endless fear and outrage, the media calls for assassination of doctors etc. If its not some right wing economic hatriot movement its a Muslim right winger blowing shit up for their old tribalist mentality/"traditional society".
This happens every yeat nowadays, same story.
University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines.
 
"They kept making announcements to the participants do not worry, it's just a training exercise," Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15.
Stevenson said he saw law enforcement spotters on the roofs at the start of the race. He's been in plenty of marathons in Chicago, D.C., Chicago, London and other major metropolitan areas but has never seen that level of security before.
 
"Evidently, I don't believe they were just having a training exercise," Stevenson said. "I think they must have had some sort of threat or suspicion called in."
Stevenson had just finished the marathon before the explosions. Stevenson said his wife had been sitting in one of the seating sections where an explosion went off, but thankfully she left her seat and was walking to meet up with him.
"We are just so thankful right now," Stevenson said.
