Re: Explosion near Boston Marathon

CNN says arrest has been made. Kind of hard to believe since if I were the suspect, I would have left the country ASAP. Why stay in the country?

remember though you're the same person that wanted texas to secede from the US

This has saddened me a lot, however things like these happen daily over the world, and they are usually even more atrocious, yet they never get all this concern. Why?

It blows my mind that people, including you, cannot see why this incident would be a bit more concerning to Americans.

Re: Explosion near Boston Marathon

all events like these are equally tragic

however it is completely reasonable for americans to be more sympathetic and more emotional about an attack that happened within their country. they are more familiar with the location, the circumstances, and the people involved

if a house in my neighborhood caught on fire i would be much more concerned than if a house in another state caught on fire

No arrest made. No name. Still looking for suspect.

Yes, however it is still unclear who did this attack. It could have been a psycho or someone who had a reason to blow up bombs on the marathon, why is it necessarily an attack on america? It kind of implies something from the outside was behind the attack.

100% honest the tragedies that we inflict on other nations as acts of "war" or "protection" or whatever are equally if not more fucked up, it's just that when something happens here it's both a lot more readily apparent + a lot bigger deal in the weird bullshit that passes for news here. I agree we should all be equally horrified by the shit we do elsewhere to innocent people, and that keeping this sense of fear + empathy in check for when our country does it to other people is important, but maybe now's not the time to worry about it, yknow?

Confirmed to be bullshit. I think it's kind of funny that the media fucked up so badly though.

Have you guys seen that Israel is coming to aid in the investigation? Why?

Re: Explosion near Boston Marathon

because Israel is one of our closest allies and we have been receiving threats from influential groups in Israel's neighboring countries.

No arrest made. No name. Still looking for suspect.

hint: no one to blame, just an innocent bystander to pin the blame on.

Re: Explosion near Boston Marathon

Barack Obama...along with everyone else itt (except xero) said just about what I wanted to say on this issue.

Other than that, what have I learned in this thread? Don't blow shit up, you might kill someone.

UPDATE: I don't know if this has been posted yet, but I think we found our culprits, courtesy of the FBI.
