Explosion at Boston Marathon finish line

Of course, the pic spreading all over social media about him, is not the correct one you see above. It's not even a him. It's this girl, and I don't know who she is.

Kurt Vonnegut, Sirens of Titan:

"There is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. The triumph of anything is a matter of organization. If there are such things as angels, I hope that they are organized along the lines of the Mafia."

 

Anyone have a Back to the Future meme to post as well?

 

I think the bombs number went up because police were exploding what they thought were suspicious parcels, etc but going through the remnants, the cops figured out they weren't bombs.

The guy in custody? He was brown and ran after the bombs went off. Then he got tackled. He told the cops he was scared just like everybody else and that's why he ran, just like most everyone else in the crowd.

Based on the timing of the explosions, I'd be more inclined to believe home-grown but unlike what Cullen wrote, they aren't "lunatics" they're terrorists.

 

Are you sure?
Link?

This one broke me ...

 

Homegrown like Bill Ayers or homegrown like Tim McVeigh?

 

It took them almost two years to figure out Eric Rudolph was responsible for the Atlanta Olympics bombing. This is probably a similar type of person.

 

That's what has surprised me the most...no one has claimed responsibility or released their insane "manifesto." That's one of the main things that has me holding off on thinking this is domestic.

 

Well, it obviously isn't thorough enough as we still seem to get these whack jobs in our country so I suggest that our laws need to get more strict, close our borders more, more registration, more regulation, more background checking -- it is the only way to stop these foreigners from coming here and causing trouble.

More regulation, more registration - it is the only way.....

 

Funny how differently some people view those men. But they're two peas in a pod.

 

Didn't McVeigh try to run and not claim credit for anything? I think he got pulled over for something else and that's how they caught him, not because he claimed responsibility. And I don't remember anyone claiming responsibility for the 1996 bombing either (they obviously honed in on Jewell fairly quickly).

 

Yes, actually it would but hey -- I'm on board with Barry and the elitists -- more registration, more regulation, more background checking, more laws, more nanny state stuff ---- that is the solution.

We have Arabic Islamic terrorists infiltrating our country every day -- we need to figure out who they are before they come so let's not let any of them in .......

 

Whack jobs like James Holmes and Adam Lanza, not to mention, Timothy McVeigh. We need stricter laws to keep these people out. Along with good-for-nothing freeloaders like Albert Einstein and the 40 percent of currently working Ph.D's in science who are foreign-born.
