Boston Marathon Bombing

Wow this became a anti-gun campaign. Guess there are "nuts" on both sides of that debate.

Obviously not the death count of 9/11 but the wounded is so horrific. Nails, metal shards, and ball bearings being pull out of victims. Can't imagine what would obsess anyone to do something like this.

I think the 2nd comments were just a little dig. At least that's all it was on my part.

That's what a shrapnel bomb is designed to do, radiate chunks of metal and inflict as much injury as possible.

I don't know either, Mike. And, we won't know until they catch someone. And, even then, it most likely won't make any sense.

I'd hope it was some loon rather than a muslim or radical.

So we had 2 bombs explode built out of a pressure cooker and now two
ricin letters intercepted. One to a Republican in Mississippi and the other to
the President. Now more suspicous letters found at the White House per CNN.
No jihadists dancing in the streets and no foreigners claiming it. Kind of leans
towards a lone wolf in Mississippi depending on these new letters found?

Erik did too, I guess. But, that still doesn't constitute "..you guys..".

That's correct. Terror killed American citizens and I shamelessly jumped out there immediately and blamed it on a youtube video, projecting as if I knew what I was talking about.
I will continue to do so for another week, regardless how much criticism I receive that it is disrepectful to the dead and wounded, not to mention ludicrous on it's face.

Perhaps you are gaining some personal self-awareness?

I just heard on the news they have identified a suspect.
There are conflicting reports on if he has been arrested or not.

When the plumber was here yesterday I told him what I would do to the perp. Out of respect for Barbara's sensibilities I won't repeat it here. Let's just say that bringing back drawing and quartering might be a good idea.

I know only too well that there are sick people in this world, the kindest thing might be to quietly and painlessly put them out of their misery.
