I am so angry about this.

I love Boston and, excluding the politics, everything about it!

I love the marathon and I’m so upset and angry that it’s been marred with tragedy. It’s supposed to be a fun, wonderful day as it always has been.

Everyone goes to cheer the runners and then enjoy opening day at Fenway. It’s tradition.
It’s one of my favorite days in Boston.

Marathon day is supposed to be fun and joyous…it’s not supposed to be this.

:mad:

I feel the same way. Its hard to watch this tragedy unfold in a place that is so familiar. The people of Boston are so proud of Patriots Day and the Marathon.

Unfortunately, that is probably precisely why whoever did this chose today. Take what is normally a great day for people and turn it into a horrible memory.

So very sad.

It’s also an international event. This race is a huge deal in the running world and people all over the world come to participate in it.
 
One thing I will say…

Many lives were probably saved based on the circumstances alone.

First of all…right at the finish line is the biggest emergency room constructed under tents and filled with voluntary doctors and nurses.
Sure…they aren’t really prepared for a mass casualty of this magnitude…but it’s probably such a blessing to hear:
“Hi, I’m a emergency room physician and I will be your first responder today!”

Plus the sheer number of ambulances on scene already and the huge number of ambulances that can get on scene in minutes.

And then…the fact that absolute best hospitals on the planet…not just one but five…are located within minutes of the finish line…and all of them are already on triage mode thanks to the marathon.

Exactly!

I wouldn’t trust anything this Government says, following Fast and Furious and Benghazi for instance.

Needless to say, this tragedy (like Sandy Hook) will be used by the Government to further restrict our 2nd Amendment and 1st Amendment rights.

Notice how quick the Media had all the facts following Sandy Hook. Heck, it wasn’t even 24 hours later and the case was closed on Sandy Hook and the political narrative was already being set in stone.

It is hard not to be cynical and mistrusting of the current rotten Government we have in power. After all, we do have a Government in power that is okay with state sanctioned Murder (abortion).

No, given the history of this current Government, I will take all the “official” reports from the “authorities” with a big grain of salt regarding this latest bit of Satanic activity in Boston.

St. Patrick and St. Michael the Archangel, we pray that you will intercede on behalf of the victims and expose and bring speedy Justice to those responsible. Amen.

Amen. Hillary was scheduled to testify on Bengazi the day after Sandy Hook. That got postponed and reduced in importance. The CNN video of Robbie Parker laughing while walking up to the microphone before asking “Are we on yet?” was quite the story. Of equal note was the video of the local news interview of the aunt of Emilie Parker, who is from Utah, saying that Emilie’s two “bigger” sisters were really going to miss her. Bigger sisters? Still waiting for that lawyer who won a popularity contest (a judge) to unseal the records since it’s been more than 90 days. Can’t wait to find out who was sitting in the front seat of the police car or the true owner of the Honda Civic… Still waiting…
 
I believe the IsLaMists are behind today’s Boston massacre. Primary detonation as a diversion following by a secondary and tertiary detonation? Detonations triggered by cellphone? Ball bearings? Thanks God that it’s not a Bagdah style terror explosion.
 
The fact that two bombs were found unexploded should help in tracing these nefarious anarchists. I imagine the forensic evidence is key.

Thesis, antithesis, synthesis.

I am waiting as well but expect nothing. Each crisis is succeeded and buried by a new crisis and tragedy.
 
From the AP:
Jordan extremist praises Boston bombing

The head of an extremist Jordanian Muslim Salafi group said early Tuesday that he was “happy to see the horror in America” after the explosions in Boston.

“American blood isn’t more precious than Muslim blood,” said Mohammad al-Chalabi, who was convicted in an al-Qaida-linked plot to attack U.S. and other Western diplomatic missions in Jordan in 2003.

“Let the Americans feel the pain we endured by their armies occupying Iraq and Afghanistan and killing our people there,” he said early Tuesday.
I hope somebody tells Mr. al-Chalabi that this kind of rhetoric does not help their cause.
