What are your thoughts on the events that happened in Boston?

What's there to talk about?

Society created idiocy, idiocy attacked society, and so genocide begins.

My whole family was about to join, but we decided to go on vacation, then we saw the news we were devastated

Countries around the world get bombed all the time and thousands die ~ only difference is that it was in america.

Kind of sad that the last mile was dedicated to the victims was dedicated to Newtown families :/

While it may sound mean, countries around the world are not in our immediate sphere of awareness. While, sympathies are extended to everyone who has been bombed, the key driver for awareness is fear. People in America react to American bombs because they think "holy shit, that could have been here". You don't think about a bomb going off in korea and going "holy shit, that could have been me".

I hope everyone's able to rest in peace, but it's odd when people try to use the bombing/death of a more local situation in order to raise awareness for another problem. It's not really the time, nor place to talk about that. It seems fairly disrespectful to the people who lost someone in that bombing.

I find it odd that there is rumors of a Facebook page that was created 2 days ago by the name of "pray for the victims in Boston" or something similar (I have not seen it myself). Either someone has some really good predictions, it was fake, or they made a very weird bomb threat.

Out of context. Might have been a joke about the race or downright false

I hope so. Same thing happened before.

It was confirmed to be fake awhile a go.

Yeah it's always a worry when these things happen. We can only hope for the best

Sorry didn't have time to spend digging around to figure out if it was true or not. That's why I said it may not be.

Don't be a smartass. I didn't do any digging there was a news article about it this morning was all.

It wasn't international terrorism. It was most certainly domestic. The bomb wasn't very sophisticated. If it were an international terrorist I would believe there would had been more devastation and the bomb would had been more sophisticated than a pressure cooker with nails and BB's. It was most likely some homegrown idiot within the United States, such as the Newton and theater shootings. Before I actually did a bit of studying I thought maybe it was the Government's way of getting to be able to invade another county that shouldn't be invaded, such as the inside job on 9/11.
