Such a Shame
Hope everyone is ok
and would have been finishing at just about that time, but an injury prevented them from finishing.
Amazing how fate works.
I hope all in our TER community are safe and well.
Sometimes the glass is really half full.
Such a Shame
I had family who was there this morning before the bombing and had she stuck around another hour or so she may have been a casualty.
Not a BIG fucking deal...really?
Nothing seems to surprise me anymore in regards to how utterly nuts people are, in this world.
I have no idea. All I can think is that she meant the "cause or reason" for the bombing was not a big deal, and not the bombing itself. Like, maybe the reason they did it was fkin retarded.
because that was one of the most callous, unfeeling things I think I've heard around here for a long, long time. It was certainly a BIG deal to the victims.
I can only hope that she posted out of context and is only guilty of expressing herself badly. Unlike Daffy, who we already know is a vile piece of subhuman excrement.
BTW it was interesting seeing you guys on P&R, how did you find your way over there? Did you just fell like slumming? lol
He backed himself into a corner and the only thing he could do was talk about all the bad people who are in the hobby. Typical tactics of the same people he claims to despise...oh, the irony.
or a KKKclown, even when the poster is a well known lefty.
He calls others racists when he even admitted that he has so little interaction that he had to ask a black co worker how to talk to people of color and why was it ok for them to use the word nigger, and not ok for white people?
I love it when lilly white people from suburbia who suffer from a crippling case of "white guilt" tell the rest of us, some of us minorities ourselves who grew up in a mixed race environment, how to treat black people. It is just the height of arrogance
I want to hear what the fuck she meant by what she said. I am going to give her the benefit of the doubt that she didn't clearly convey what she meant.
1. It is a BIG deal when people die and are injured.
2. Not to mention the fact that our whole country is worried about what this all means.
Seriously our government is already planning on finding out what happened and why... and then kicking someone's ass. Crap like this can start wars. They don't know for fact yet, but it sure looks like it wasn't an accident.
If that is the case, why would anyone not think it will be like 911 on a smaller scale? I guess that wasn't a BIG deal either?

It is a fucking huge deal to me.
It's actually all I can say to you right now, anything more would not be a good scenario.

none of my family were near the event. I was concerned for my son, watching the end of the race would be something he and his friends would do, but thankfully he was nowhere around the site. The rest of my family are all well also.
Thanks for the concern.

Please, let me explain why I posted it this way:
First of all, I had no idea or concept of the scale of damage...(Did not know 2 people died, and many were injured...) I had just watched the videotaping on TV, where btw one of the runners fakely falls on the street right after the bomb goes off;
Secondly - look at the World nowadays!
- How many young Americans died in the war against Iraq so far? : 32021 statistically, over 100000 actually!
- The number of American troops who have died fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan totaled 6,656 as of February 2013. Those individuals came from every part of the United States and its territories, and the great majority were young men, of course. Many were married, with children, and all left families with a lifetime of pain.... It is now the leading cause of death in the Army!
- http://www.warsintheworld.com/index.php/2013/04/15/Central African republic -fighting between seleka rebels and residents leave at least 17 dead in Bangui capital;
- At least 110 militants have been killed in a military operation in Pakistan’s federally-administered tribal areas, a senior Army official told Newsweek late Monday.
- Two soldiers were killed and six security officers wounded as insurgents mounted dozens of coordinated bombing, shooting and arson attacks in Thailand’s deep south, police said Thursday.
- North Korea has completed preparations for a mid-range missile launch from its east coast, Seoul officials said Tuesday, as the country readies for what many suspect is another provocative act amid heightened tension on the Korean Peninsula.
- Do you know what's going on in Syria these days?.., etc., etc., etc.....
Number of Countries involved in wars: 60
Number Militias-guerrillas and separatist groups involved: 395
It's MADNESS everywhere!!!
Of course, I do feel sorry and am grieved when an innocent person becomes a victim! That is outrageous!..And that's what I meant by saying "It is a Shame!" ....
No harmful feelings:
Ale
Horrible. We (and no one) can ever "win" a war against terrorists.
Hasn't been confirmed, but believed to have been another explosion.
Also they have found other bombs near that did not explode.

This is crazy. I know someone who has family there!
They are now saying here that the fire at JFK was unrelated to the bombs.
It is a very sad day here in Boston.
That's a perfect response
Samiam very sad
What a total a-hole this pr*ck Laffy must be. And he did it at 2:30 THIS AFTERNOON!!!! I mean what time did the fking bombs go off??? 2pm? 2:05pm? What was he doing, sitting there WAITING for a tragedy to make political hay out of it to score cheap ass points??? Are you fking kidding me?????????????????
He is one Top Poster, that needs to be gagged. I mean really...why come to a fk board and do NOTHING but talk about politics? Are you afraid that the real experts will chew you up, so you have to come to a place where sex is the main topic, and rant? Idiots.
Liberals didnt do that to Bush on 9/11 and the immediate days that followed. Yes, it happened down the road, and thats sad, but that happens on both sides, but mere minutes after the bombings, you have this asshole Laffy drilling Republicans?? WTF??????????????????? I swear, this is the first time I have really been pissed here. I come hear to laugh, share, chat. Not for this fking shit.
He did not finish, but he saw the devestation up close. and posted the following in memory of the victims.
Happy to hear your friend was not at the site of the blast. The healing from the trauma will now have to begin, it's is important he have friends to talk to about it. I wish him the best, people in his position are often forgotten about, he was a victim too.
MM
Lucky him that in general, they seemed to have hit more spectators than the runners. The worst injury to a runner seems to be some scraped knees from being knocked off their feet by one of the blasts.
I & still have family there... work in suburban ER. Locals had enough presence of mind to take minor injuries by private vehicle to outlying hospitals for treatment. It'll be days before we get a true casuality count.
I believe fatalities would have been even higher, if emts and the medical tent were not so close.
