[Shagrat]

[Calaen]

2 dead so far. Fucking idiots, it makes your stomach churn.

 

[Gray]

Supposedly a third bomb was detonated at a library, controlled explosion...

Also i read the families of the Sandy Hook school shooting were in the stands as VIP guests, bombs just missed them?

 

[megadave]

blood warning

Spoiler

 

[Aada]

Never a boring day in America.

You know what they need to stop this kind of thing?
MOAR GUNS!


waiting to see who claims it, my money is on a local nutter or timmy mcveigh 2, its too small scale imo for any large organisation

What stops a bad guy with a bomb? A good guy with a bomb! BOMBS FOR ALL!

Or maybe because it happens in Afghan/Iraq on a daily basis nobody cares anymore, Shia's bombing Sunnis and vica versa it's just a normal day.

Bombs going off in arguably the most powerful country in the world? people want to know.

 

[soze]

This is shocking. And selfishly worrying. I am heading to the former colony on Saturday I do not want the place on high alert so they send a team of Navy Seals up my arse to make sure I'm not up to no good.

Prepare to see your plane escorted by fighter jets.

Just avoid acting muslim and you'll be fine.

It happened on patriot day..which in Boston celebrates the first skirmish against the Brits and roughly the same fatalities then..what a coincidence.

 

[Scouse]

Did anyone care in the first place?

Shia's bombing Sunnis and vica versa it's just a normal day

Or us bombing them, in their own country...

 

[megadave]

Looks fucking grim. Images of people missing limbs etc

 

[caLLous]

That guy in the wheelchair.

 

[fettoken]

Could have been much much worse though.

 

[DaGaffer]

Oh its about as bad as it can be. Expect whole new levels of "security" to come into effect even walking down the street.

Any indication who did it yet? Everyone is assuming moslem but it doesn't mean it is; America has plenty of home grown nutbars as well.

 

[caLLous]

This redditor seems to be an excellent source of updates (more-so than any major news outlet anyway).

Authorities ID suspect as Saudi national in marathon bombings, under guard at Boston hospital (that link is saying 12 are confirmed dead but I haven't seen any more than 2 fatalities anywhere else)

Seems that they're finding "suspicious" packages all over the place.

 

[Tom]

Yeah it's all very sad. Meanwhile, President Obama continues to fly robot aeroplanes over Pakistan, bombing terrrrrists and any innocent civilians unlucky enough to be in the area.

But nobody gives a fuck about them, because they've got brown skin and fuzzy beards.

Depending on which angle you look at it. Also, there can only be a certain amount of "security" around, now, depending on who did it. We also do not know the motive, or anything else really.

This is true in a sense. This being everyday happening in the middle east and not in the US. I feel for the people nonetheless.

 

[fettoken]

Though, I guess in a sense. If it was muslim extremists, they probably believe it to be political justice. Since they believe it is the fault of the people.

 

[Zenith]

Please let it not be an islamic attack...

 

[old.user4556]

I heard it was North Korean nuclear weapons.

 

[Raven]

Probably someone trying to show how balanced and rational their cause is.

 

[Cerb]

Fucking hell. Myself and the missus were supposed to go the the marathon this morning and then changed our minds.

Humans are the worst.

[SilverHood]

They found other devices that hadn't exploded yet. As a precaution, they turned of the entire cellphone network for the Boston Metropolitan area to avoid remote detonation. Seriously fucked up.
