Boston Terror Attack

[reddevil1111]

Here we seem to go again. 3 Bomb blasts 2 at the marathon race and one at JFK Library with several bombs being located and defused on the site. City in lockdown mode and some group of cowards have turned another day of fun into terror and death. I cant stand it. Enough already with the cowardly attacks.

You know that's their M.O., Dan. They don't care how many are hurt or killed, it's just the shock value. I'm really amazed we don't have a lot more. They're thinking the library thing was a fire, not an attack. I read a thing that the 9-11 nutsos were amazed the towers came down, their objective was to just crunch a couple of floors.

My sympathies go out to them.

I was relieved that it wasn't a more power explosive (from reports sounds like it was homemade) and doesn't appear to have had any shrapnel added to it. Still a horrible tragedy regardless.

I wouldn't be shocked if it's domestic terror or an al qaeda inspired attack.

I think I'll bet this is domestic......or some fringe numties.

The explosions were not that big. I'm thinking home made fertilizer bombs or black powder. Easy to make.

The shit side of this.....we have to pay. Maybe they can ratchet up the Patriot Act another notch. Nobody seems to have a problem with renewing that lovely piece of legislature. Perhaps now we can get "In home drones".

"Don't even think about that porn site citizen!" ZAP.

I of course sympathize with the wounded and dead and their families. (OK, I envy the dead, sorry)

This is the whole idea of terrorism. They cause mass confusion. If Al Qaeda had wanted to do something it would have been on a larger scale with mass death. This was on your home front and they succeeded. Closed down all communications in Boston as well as all flights in and out. f*cking pisses me off.

Never understood the use of bombs against civvy targets by terrorists. Five years in NI and never understood how anyone could do it, sick bastards.

Another very sad day for America. What the f*ck has happened to my Country and this world???

Time to dig a deeper hole and get a bigger rock.

As a Brit that's what I'm thinking, seriously messed up individuals. Didn't know they defused IED's on sight? That should give some idea as to who did it...maybe.

Terrible tragedy, Thoughts with all those affected.

Got me wired watching the News, IED's are my nightmares.

Tried to quote combatgoldfish......fail! New to this.

I went to school near Boston and have friends there still. I checked them. One good friend goes back to when I lived in Spain when I was a kid. His daughter was right at Copley Square. She is still shook up. She ran the race and was waiting for a friend. That hits home this time. I know that area so well. Newbury Street is history, every step you take.

Wish I was younger. When I see and hear some of you write about doing multiple tours to the point of exhaustion, I really feel left out. I wish they had an old timers bucket brigade or something. I'd go. And I am in good shape. Well, except for That.

On one side of the world, they are blowing up our kids. On the other, they are gonna blow up our kids -- again.

I want to pick up the world, shake it, and set it down. Reset. Reboot. Do somethin' Dammit.

Imagine, a world without terror...bliss

Feel like the U.K are next, that's how it happened last time after 9/11 -7/7. Obviously the loss was nowhere near the same, but it's loss all the same. Civilians do not sign up for that.
