Boston Marathon

Bostonians are extremely resilient. We don't know the meaning of the word 'demoralized.' Expect a record turnout for next year's marathon.

I truly hope that in the aftermath of 9/11 and other terrorists attacks and what we've came to know about how these organizations work, that things have changed in both those cities and that all civilized people condemn terrorism no matter where sympathies may lie.

Changes happen through social pressure on politics - not on bombing civilians and especially not children.

Well said Seanchai, this kind of thing is deplorable. I've also heard stories about collection drives for the IRA and dismissed them as urban legend. Sadly they seem to be true.

When I gigged in north London pubs and clubs in London in the 80s there would often be an Irishman with a collection tin at the back of the room.

The enemy within indeed.

So much "news" so much mis-information.

4 bombs? 5 bombs? More than one location? An arrest?

2 bombs. Both very crude.

The FBI has ceased any "terrorist" angle.

You are looking for some dick-head who tried to get a name for HIMself by planting two nasty, home-made devices to kill as many humans as possible.

His defense will be - 1 I was mentally unstable at the time I planned and methodically carried out these inhuman acts - 2 These people are taking over the world, I was within my rights.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. It's time to take the gloves off. If they won't play by the rules, then we shouldn't either. Screw all the bleeding heart liberals worrying about collateral damage. Shit happens and people die, just like the 3,000 at the world trade center, the 8 year old boy and two others from Boston, not to mention the other thousands injured. Lets turn the whole mid east into a giant kitty litter box. You can't bomb them back to the stone age, that's only an upgrade. Fuck ALL you muslum bastards.

You're a moron. Where's the linkage between this atrocity and "muslums" (sic).

How will you process the possibility, if proven, that this is domestic terrorism spawned by people who think like you?

I'd like to take my gloves off and slap some sense into you. You can't even spell Muslim - you fucking womble.
Irwin - you're 1 post away from a long overdue ban also.

Irvin seems to forget that the Norwegians have nutcases of their own.
