Count is now at 3 explosions at the Boston Marathon. Terrible news!!!
People have been letting their guard down for several yrs. Terrorists will strike wherever there is a large event or population of people to do the most damage.

I've been listening to coverage on the news for the past hour. No official count on the number dead or injured. Terrible news!

These savage, sub-3rd world bastards cannot be reasoned with. The only way to stop them is to hunt them down and kill them before they kill us.

No news on that yet. Just terrible that people have to worry about sh*t like this here at home. Police found multiple devices that never went off as well.

I saw a New York Times report on ArfCom, that a suspect is being looked at - Saudi national. He is in the hospital now with burn wounds.

No words could express adequately how we grieve for our fellow Americans in Boston who have suffered this senseless tragedy.

I agree with you Ted...100%. Sub-human bastards.

When I first read it, I thought it said 64 killed so not that bad but still horrible...and a lot of amputations of lower limbs. Makes you wonder what was packed in the bombs and how low they were...like someone walked along carrying briefcases or messenger bags and just set them down among the crowd. Just sickening.
Reaction time is a factor...

Do not give them the dignity of "sickness"... this is NOT sickness other than a malevolent cancer of the soul.  These things who commit these attrocities ARE sub-human, deserving of no human emotion, no chance for salvation, no mercy.  I have more feeling for an amoeba than for these things.  They should be destroyed as one would destroy a pestilence... for that is what they are... a pestilence upon mankind.  They are parasites without being worthy of the consideration one would give a tick or a leech.
Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.

There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.

It is the same when you are stupid.

Hunt them down, pry whatever info they may have on co-conspirators whatever way you have to, shoot them quietly in the head and deposit them in a hole in the ground.  No Timothy McVeigh grandstanding trials to give those a$$holes a forum.

+ 1,000,000!

We're dealing people who have been programmed from birth that, at minimum, they are morally justified in killing anyone who doesn't subscribe to their worldview (and even some who do), and in many cases that it's their duty to do so.

I would think the casualty numbers would be higher. Thankfully it wasn't that high like other bombings and attacks.
