mrags Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 I'm surprised that we've has some little of this since 9/11. I was certain it was going to become a normal occurance here in the states. They've just done that good a job of stopping it. Fox and CNN still saying 2 dead not 12. was just about to say, WGR whose reporting from CNN is saying 2 and 12 as well.

RkFast Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 NY post jumped the gun since no one else is reporting it. Possible. Its the Post.
The Big Cat Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Speechless...I can't believe a person would do this to another human being...... Some will argue that a photo like this is irresponsible sensationalism. But for the reaction it provoked from both you and me, everyone should see it, everyone should have to deal with that man's tragedy. We're too far removed from war and violence 99% of the time. Photos like this remind us what's at stake.
NoSaint Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 NY post jumped the gun since no one else is reporting it. post seems to be going early on everything. we will see if its solid sourcing or poor editing.

shrader Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 They're mentioning the post story on the radio out here, they aren't giving much support to it.

I was surprised they kept playing it, imagine being his mother and watching that on tv without knowing about your son.
Astrojanitor Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 NY post jumped the gun since no one else is reporting it. New York Post is reporting a whole bunch of stuff no one else is. The sources I've been looking at (watching CNN, reading NY Times and Boston Globe) say 2 dead and 100+ wounded and no mention of a suspect. I've never found the Post to be super reliable, and these days way too much gets published premature.
shrader Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Something odd is going on at the Tufts medical center right now. Apparently the NBC affiliate has a reporter there who saw police surround a man with guns drawn and are now talking to him.

I was surprised they kept playing it, imagine being his mother and watching that on tv without knowing about your son. Well, her finding out now or her finding out later--doesn't change what happened. I know that sounds callous, but I stand by what I said before. His mother, one way or another, is in for some serious grief, but for once, it's not the media's fault.
Maury Ballstein Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Those who seek to kill the innocent and disrupt society and our way of life, once found guilty in a court of law, are to be dealt with in the harshest way possible. END. OF. STORY. agree....NY post saying 20 year old saudi national being "guarded" at hospital why guard him? let the public rip him to shreds i say....
We Come In Peace Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 agree....NY post saying 20 year old saudi national being "guarded" at hospital why guard him? let the public rip him to shreds i say.... Innocent until proven guilty.
BuffaloBill Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Sad day indeed ... Just unreal that an event that is meant to bring a spirit of competition and joy across borders, races and religious beliefs is now bloodied. Prayers go out to the families of all who have been injured or killed. You can see that guy on a clip that abc was playing over and over again. I was surprised they kept playing it, imagine being his mother and watching that on tv without knowing about your son. Wow that is jarring.
RkFast Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Innocent until proven guilty. Yes. And then if guilty...FIRING SQUAD.
