Lots of sick damn people in this world.... My buddy Mikes wife passed the finish line 15 minutes before the bombs went off. Thank god she's ok but she was close enough to see it and obviously hear it. Sick, sick people...

ssserena, The Boston marathon is a huge race here in the USA. At 3PM today 2 bombs went off at the finish line. As of now 2 people are dead and dozens injured.

Lets all pray for the end of this terrorism. Reality says that this problem will never go away, so everybody needs to be more vigilant. My prayers are going out to all the victims of this senseless act.

Crazy! Just friggin' crazy.

We all need to pray, or focus our positive energy to the good people of Boston at this time. In the the end we are all Americans, and if we go back a few years we are all immigrants, and ultimately we are foreigners from a distant land. We no doubt have our differences, but more importantly we have our commonalities. In trying times such as these we find that common ground, as we have throughout history. God be with those affected by today's tragedy. Peace be with them.

Have faith in humanity. Did you notice all the people who ran toward the explosions? I choose to believe these selfless caring people outnumber the evil by the millions.

I agree Jack. Thanks for pointing this out.

It's easy to focus on the evil, but we should be focusing on the good. The vast majority of us fall into that category.

Like 9/11 it really brought the community together... watching this on t.v. brings back deeper/fresh emotions of the turmoil and devastation of 9/11. Not that I ever forgot, but fresh memories for many (PTSD).

It makes me double-think our upcoming trip to Disney World with our kids... :shocked01: surely no one would be cruel enough to target.

Btw, I wonder if they had sniffin' dogs near the finish line- prob would've been able to detect those bombs! Depending on the ingredients? I can't think of any other sure way to prevent in huge crowds like that.

Did anyone see the video of the people looting the marathon sweatshirts and jackets from the kiosk seconds after the bombing? Dirtbags...
Boston Marathon Crooks aka LOOTERS? Helping themselves instead of others! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hM7Ura6Q4w#ws)
At least the police captured the 2nd suspect alive. Maybe they will be able to get some intel from him. Peace and love everyone...

Wow Steve, thanks for that video! I had not seen that!! >:# The good deeds out weighed the bad by a bunch, but there is always going to be those that will take advantage of a situation! \:[ I hope they use this clip to go after each and every one of them!! :beatdown: >:\

I hope so too Ron. Its obvious that the good people out number the bad. But as my OP stated, lots of sick people in the world.
For someone to hurt a child is the worst thing anyone can do. Mandatory death penalty one way or the other.

we might want to institute some 1800s punishment this would deter a lot of garbage...
