Boston Marathon Explosion

Ban marathons?

A bunch of info on reddit

News is saying police stated 3 more bombs have been detonated, by the Boston bomb squads

You mean defused, right? …right?

2 were diffused while one more got detonated but in a controlled fashion.

no, they detonated them (safely).

I am now hearing that victims from the Newtown massacre were standing in a VIP section right where the bombs went off :frowning:

possibly related :frowning:

edit:

more bombs located :frowning:

yeah I was gonna say, you should use more specific terminology than detonated, at least something that clearly doesn’t imply they are hurting people

dbl post

Sigh, the footage/photos are so terrible.

Another bomb went off at JFK library, dunno if it was set off by cops or what

edit: 3 dead now :frowning:

It’s funny how different the world looks when you’re functionally literate and are able to pick up the nuances in written and spoken word.

NY Times: “senior counterterrorism official said it was too soon to tell whether the explosions were related to terrorism”

Bullshit. Of COURSE it’s terrorism. They just don’t know if it’s FOREIGN or DOMESTIC terrorism. The problem is that “terrorism” is such a buzzword now that a shitload of people would be up in arms blaming Muslims. The word “terrorism” can’t even be used because so many folks are too dumb to be able to see things any other way.

Wake up turn on ESPN and see this. sad day, thoughts and prayers go out to victims and families.

Just heard about it, yo bombs in trash cans seriously? It’s events like these that serve as awful reminders to be grateful to still be around. I can’t imagine just running and BAM! explosion takes an arm off, I wouldn’t blame any of the victims for being paranoid as fuck after that.

Hope bomb squads got all the bombs. It’s bad enough people in Vietnam have to worry about stepping on a 40 year old land mine but once again I must repeat bombs in fucking trash cans?!

The scariest thing about this is not knowing when this ends…

Exactly. My mom just got off the phone with this guy she works with he was saying it couldn’t be terrorism, they got Bin Laden already!

Christ. Dudes so fucking racist (and he doesn’t even know it) that i guess this shouldn’t surprise but here we are.

Even if this is foreign terrorism I aint falling for damn additional Patriot Act shit. No more of that shit please.

I know im barking in dark but still…

NY Post is saying 12 dead

JFK library is on fire.

They’re still finding devices, but controlled detonations are dealing with those

Might be domestic terrorism

I still can’t wrap my head around the 8th image. If you are faint of heart… I would totally avoid it. I really regret seeing that.

Suspect is Saudi national; under police guard in hospital.
