Boston Marathon Explosion(s) was created by Rick
Just happened at the finish line... not sure yet if it's terrorism, and accident, or "workplace violence". Looks like lots of injuries and at least a few deaths.

The official statement just released is now calling it "two bombs"... So, they aren't trying to suggest that it might have been natural or accidental. "The FBI is on the way to investigate and assist...."
Unbelievable...

Partiots Day? I thought of that too. Hopefully they will find the bomber(s) soon.

In the coming days as conspiracy theories are tossed about, speculations run rampant, etc I only hope that more people come to the realization that this kind of society - one in which we call for retaliation, and continue harming innocents in a war that we shouldn't have continued this long, and the violence that we glorify and weapons that we cling to - are not a future of happiness for anyone. It has to end, and I hope that it does with more people embracing the notion of letting go of hatred and desire for revenge.

I can't stop thinking about the families of those who were there and killed or severely injured, the kids who were standing with parents watching the race...archer wrote: Watching CNN and realizing how easy it is to become desensitized to these types of tragedies..... They happen so often now days, I feel like the world has gone mad. Sorry, maybe it's time for me to turn off the TV and think about the underlying sadness of it all, the incessant force fed speculation is getting to me.

This one clause is uncalled for SC. I know it is a subtle hit at gun owners. Those of us law abiding citizens who have firearms are not the cause of any of these tragedies.
I wish people wouldn't do horrible things...but horrible people always have, and always will do horrible things. People will not let go, because there is evil in the world.
Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!
