Agreed. I think Matt McGee got footage of the first and second blast. Ran up to the first runner to go down. Insane.

FUCK. I walked home (avoiding T for a few days) at like 8pm and there were still fuckin cops everywhere. All over downtown crossing, Faneuil, and in front of the North End.
Hope they catch this fucker.
Thoughts and prayers with the families affected by this.
I flipped on the news this morning to Bloomberg having a discussion of how the blasts will affect the market and a detailed analysis of what will happen to the price of oil if it is found that the attacks came from any formal organization in the Middle East.
Then, over on CNN, they were pleading for people to send them pictures - outright begging for people to give them pictures of people in a bad situation. They then had on a "terrorism expert" who pointed out that the flights on 9/11 had taken off from Boston so the city was linked to those attacks as well. WTF?
Online...sickening pictures.
I know that the bastards who did this are the people who should be the recipient of our anger but the media has disgusted me. I wouldn't post this anywhere else but being an asshole here is simply more acceptable.

An update here or there but back to normal programming is the best thing for most of America to be doing at this moment anyway.

When Darth and I are in complete agreement related to anything, it is probably fairly close to truth.

Agree. And exactly the same response should go for the mass murders by crazies like Lanza. There is some indication that he was trying to get a record-setting body count.
If I were King, the murderers' names would never be spoken, and their "story" would be silence.

Obama's narcissism and arrogance is only superseded by his naivete and stupidity.

Just a random, inflammatory, baseless question: what are the odds the bombs were planted on tax day by (a) a homegrown nationalist/right wing kook versus (b) an Islamic terrorist?

Someone's been watching network news.
A stupid question and any answer is as irresponsible as it gets. Another McVeigh? Maybe? Another Bin Laden? Maybe. An eco-terrorism group? How the fuck can anyone know?
An article on Reason talked a bit about this. It could be a disgruntled asshole who is looking to make some sort of a perverse statement.
