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.


Since you brought it up, who but conservatives glorify violence.


??? Conservatives glorify violence? I always thought it was the liberals who ran Hollywood.

Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!

Couldn't you take the politics somewhere else?

Renegade, you should know me by now to know that I choose every word deliberately. I said weapons, not guns, and I also wasn't talking about Americans only ("we" as in us humans, not we us Americans). If I'd meant guns, I would've said guns. No, it absolutely was not a subtle hint at gun owners - I'm applying it to every person on this planet who believes that weapons, violence, and war are a necessity to solve our problems and I'm viewing it from an evolutionary biologists POV, not a narrow-visioned, individual country perspective, political slant at all. And I certainly wouldn't push a political POV during a tragedy like this, that's just disgusting.

Back on topic.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

NY Post reporting that Saudi national is in custody as a potential suspect.

Not insinuating either - just passing along information that's out there.

I'm surprised we haven't had more IED attacks like this. Time for all of us to start paying attention again since I'm sure our enemies are paying close attention to the countrys' reaction. (foreign and domestic enemies)

It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

First report of 8-year-old was that it was a girl... bostonglobe.com says it was an 8-year-old boy... (That's why I said, "I think...")
