The Poojer Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 CBS saying the "suspect" in the hospital may just be another innocent bystander. Someone saw them running away from the scene, like everyone else was, and decided since he was middle eastern looking to tackle him and turn him over to the cops.
truth on hold Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 My hunch is not middle East related. More likely home grown anti-government, anti-boston/marathon (maybe they had a gripe with the mayor or race organizers), or just a garden variety wacko bent on indiscriminate murder.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted April 15, 2013 Author Posted April 15, 2013 Thanks. This is her 4th Boston marathon and the first I didn't go to with her. God, I wish I was there with her, but she's safe with good friends in a hotel on the outskirts of Boston. Yes, she ran a 3:28:58. I married a fast woman. So glad her training paid off, and to hear she's unharmed.
JM57 Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 If anyone was betting on who the first !@#$ media member to make a dumb comment would be....Erik Rush is the winner.
PastaJoe Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 This Friday is the anniversary of the Waco raid and the Oklahoma City bombing.

If true, what does that say about us as a society?
outsidethebox Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 My wife was there. Luckily she finished 30 minutes before the explosions, but heard them. I will personally remove the shriveled nutsack with a butter knife of the coward / cowards that did this. My wife is Wendy, and she's mentioned in this article on the blast: http://www.democrata...aking|text|Home I am so happy Todd your wife is ok and safe! I hope she doesn't suffer any PTSD. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family and all the victoms of this disgusting act.
NoSaint Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 If true, what does that say about us as a society? That a guy racially profiled and the police in a state of confusion kept an eye on the situation until they knew better? Sounds like it says we are a society made up of humans that are less than ideal in stressful situations. What about the likely dozens of blacks, or whites that were held or questioned today?
Chef Jim Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 If true, what does that say about us as a society? That profiling doesn't always work?

meazza Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) One of the deceased is an 8 year old boy RIP Edit. Girl Edited April 16, 2013 by meazza
Just Jack Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 This Friday is the anniversary of the Waco raid and the Oklahoma City bombing. And Hitlers birthday, and Columbine.....
Kelly the Dog Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 And Hitlers birthday, and Columbine..... So in other words it's not really close to any of the four of them?
truth on hold Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 One of the deceased is an 8 year old boy RIP Edit. Girl Wow that's sad. Goes out to see a race with friends and/or family and that's how it ends.
Just Jack Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 So in other words it's not really close to any of the four of them? Might be, might not. Until someone either claims credit, or evidence is found to link it to a specific group, we may not know.

I'm not trying to make a joke out of this one bit, but five days away from something is a link? If you missed or planned your wife's or boss's birthday or anniversary five days away they would think you were out of your mind. If you planned something to make a statement and decided to do it five days away, no one would make that connection. Sure, you can link the WACO and OK City thing and Columbine as possible intentional statements. But if they were five days away from each other no one would make that connection, other than to say that April is a crappy month.

This is the Boston Marathon. It's a pretty well known event with large crowds. It's an attractive target for any scumbag who wants to do something like this.
boyst Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 130 injuries. 3 deaths. confirmed by boston police commish
BringBackFergy Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 What a sad situation. RIP to those deceased and speedy recovery to those who were injured. Events likethis unfortunately remind us once again that this world is really fu$%ed up. I dread watching the news in the morning because every morning host will have a "theory", they will all psychoanalyze who could have done this, and they will all have a catchy slogan like "News Alert: Boston Massacre" or "Boston Bombing Day 2"....I say, let law enforcement complete investigating the event and report facts. This kind of tragedy brings the country together....until a finger is pointed.
NDBUFFCUSEFAN Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I know that Pro-Patriot stories are usually frowned upon but Andruzzi and everyone else that rushed in immediately after the explosions are heroes. http://deadspin.com/former-patriots-guard-joe-andruzzi-helped-rescue-explos-473063870?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow
