Explosions at Boston Marathon

Postby Baja Bum on Mon Apr 15, 2013 2:01 pm

At least 2 bombs have detonated. Another device reported at a hotel. Sketchy news, but if you have friends or family in the area, you might want to try and make contact.

Sounds like it was well planned out and maybe a 3rd bomb went off at JFK library? who knows What a world we live in who in the hell would want to bomb a bunch of people running? They wonder why people cling to there guns and religion .

Another prime example of why Gun legislation is just an example of a government who thinks they know better than everyone else, and a group of people who are so short sighted.

They always say guns kill people. Look at today. No guns! 2 dead, many injured, and in critical condition. Not a single gun, but it was some wackjob who decided to do this. Whether it's an out of country terrorist, or someone from our country who is just wacked. Either way, it didn't involve a gun. I said months ago, when they are that nuts upstairs, they will find a way to committ these disgusting crimes that they want to committ!

This is not the time to bring this up. It may be on all of our minds, but it doesn't help to dance on graves.

There's no "dancing on graves" intent in my post. It's me flat out sick of the moral compass of alot of people in this world. Between an act like this, 9/11, the shootings here, North Korea, and others, peoples lack of humanity has seriously declined.

Instead of attacking my post and calling it "dancing on graves" maybe you should ask yourself, what you can do to influence a change in the moral compass of people around you. How can you restore others value of humanity.

:o

That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm telling you to back off on promoting a political agenda in order to give the people involved time to mourn and deal with the incident.
