Bombs Explode At Boston Marathon, Three Dead

This is just horrible.

I have a feeling this is just some sick fuck not some movement by some terrorist group. I just hope they get whoever did thid quickly and deal with this person accordingly.

I'm not religious but my prayers go out to all affected by this tragedy.
 
First question on the press conference just now:

"Is this a false flag operation designed to curb our civil liberties?!"

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

3 People confirmed dead now.

Edit: The guy kept screaming nonsense about "false flags"... take a long look at him, methinks!


That's just how society is now. One of the first thoughts in my head was false flag too, but that really should be the last facet of reason one should use. Look at the circumstances, it is just a nut trying to 'make a name' for himself. Not the government trying to take your rights.


Again, I echo the sentiment that this looks domestic. Son of a bitch, at a marathon!
 
I knew at least a few dozen people who were in Boston today, both for the morning Sox game and the Marathon. Thankfully everyone I know appears to be OK, but it was a fairly hair-raising day I spent today trying to get in touch with people and not having them respond to texts. (Later I found out cell networks were congested and slow, which is no comfort at the time when you are saying "FUCKING TEXT ME BACK!" over and over again.)

Other Massachusites, if you haven't posted in any forums online that you regularly post in, do people a favor and make a post. A lot of people (at least on other boards) are checking to see if people are alright by checking their posting activity.

I'm not sure if this is fact or fiction since, at times like this, particularly vicious assholes will say things to just cause even more panic, but supposedly the cell phone networks around Boston were shut down to prevent any explosive devices to be detonated via cell phone. I'm not sure how much truth there is to this, as I was able to send texts out, it just took multiple tries.

The major phone companies are denying that they received a shut-down order, although it would be entirely understandable and is common practice in shittier parts of the world that have this happen on a regular basis. It appears to be a congestion issue, which isn't too surprising; demand on the cell networks, already high from the marathon, must have spiked.

Which, of course, is no consolation when you aren't getting responses to your texts.
 
My God this is terrible! My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone and their families. I hope they catch the sick bastard that did this as I'm pretty sure it was domestic. I don't know why, just a feeling.

You are insane if you think governments don't run false flags. It has happened over 200 times in the last 100 years. WAKE UP!!!!

Could that be because the news immediately began assuming it was domestic. They are indoctrinating the public. WAKE UP!!!
 
In that case, it is indeed pesky. I still don't see how they can be allowed near a closed funeral service.

No actually it was based off of the number of psychos that have gone on killing sprees lately. I very rarely pay any attention to the media and their propaganda. I normally just form my own opinions without media input.

Oh, I see. Auroa and Sandy Hook happened just the way they said it did. Wake up America.

I don't agree with them, but they are always on public property peacefully assembling which is legal and always should be, first amendment and all.

What are you saying? That people other then James Holmes and Adam Lanza were responsible?

I don't see the need for them to be protesting or attending a funeral for bombing victims from a Boston Marathon.

And the point was, why should they be allowed to attend a private funeral?

Assumptions are speculation, not indoctrination. I'd look the term up before throwing it around more. If you looked around this thread, you'ld see we did the exact same thing. Shocky and I essentially said "likely Islamic radicals", while most others assumed domestic. How is that different from the media, who has access to far more information then us, making similar assumptions? Either way, it was an act of terrorism. Isn't that what truly matters? People are dead.

Unless you're a lunkhead who watches the news and takes speculation as fact, you're quite free to make up your own mind.

Yes

They aren't attending private funerals, they are demonstrating outside private funerals on public property which is their God given right.
 
This should be good....

Based upon what?

History.


Attending, demonstrating outside, does it matter? It's not the appropriate time or place.

It's not up to you or anyone else to determine when it is appropriate to exercise your God given rights.

NS, I am worried about your mental health. Do you have these discussion with your wife? Are you continuing to drink?

Demonize me, yes and yes.
 

Forget the fact that there were eyewitnesses in both accounts, and what was found at the assailant's homes, "history" adequately explains it. :rolleyes:

It's not up to you or anyone else to determine when it is appropriate to exercise your God given rights.

No, it's not my place to try and force someone when to and when not. To make a judgment on appropriateness? Sure it is.
 
Oh joy, it's attack of the contrarian.

Let the world know when you argue with something a bit more potent then "wake up", the whole "I know the real truth" thing on the internet is played out and stale.

You have a point about the First Amendment bit, but it's a very, very fundamental and basic one that most of us grab en passant going through high school. People so often forget that the right of saying something comes with the consequences of dealing with the response. Beatings are illegal, but that doesn't make them not happen.
 
If MKUltra was still happening, why would the United States government declassify it?

Why is the right full of conspiracy theory nutjobs?
