JCC Two explosions at Boston Marathon

Not only horrifically unfunny, but also inaccurate. This was well after the winners had passed the finish line.

 

This is horrible. At least only 1 of the devices went off. I guess we have to be thankful for that.

 

You're hilarious.

 

NY times has a map/pic of where the explosions occured

Two, actually.

 

I know a lot of people who were there today.

Edit: Sucks the cell phones have been shut off throughout the area -- Cambridge as well. I can't reach anyone.

 

ummm yeah...

people who can cope with reality or who haven't had their minds twisted by some ancient sand religion don't do these things....

Especially to innocents... If you wanna make a statement take out someone whos important, not Tom, dick and harry, whos running in a marathon..

 

Hopefully, they're all okay.

edit: at Barriss

 

Yeah, we're a riot at work.

 

The Red Cross is setting up safe lists for people to register that they're alright. You might try them.

 

2 devices went off, more were found. Including one near a hotel or hospital apparently.

 

Not that killing the person who's the source of your grievance is right to begin with.

 

umm, the movie's like 20 years old

 

I think that they mean to be making jokes about the situation at hand

 

And Lando is in the running for unintentional best poster of 2013. Whew.

MSNBC is showing that there is a Boston fire dept press conference soon to happen.

This smells of home grown but that is pur speculation on my part.

 

I meant the joke.

 

Wow... This is so completely awful and horrible. Hope everyone here who's from that area is all right and safe (same goes for family members and friends). My prayers are with those who had been killed/injured and their families.

 

well its more right than killing someone who has no connection to your plight...

 

....no it's not.

 

Press conference now.






Besides being Patriots Day, and Tax Day, from looking at the "on this day in history" thread...


1861 – President Abraham Lincoln calls for 75,000 Volunteers to quell the insurrection that soon became the American Civil War.

1865 – Death of Abraham Lincoln, American politician, 16th President of the United States

1912 – The British passenger liner RMS Titanic sinks in the North Atlantic at 2:20 a.m., two hours and forty minutes after hitting an iceberg. Only 710 of 2,227 passengers and crew on board survived.

1920 – Two security guards are murdered during a robbery in South Braintree, Massachusetts. Anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti would be convicted of and executed for the crime, amid much controversy.

1989 – Upon Hu Yaobang's death, the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 begin in the People's Republic of China.

 

....wrong thread, Ghost.

 

It's also apparently the Great Leader's birthday in North Korea. Which certainly hasn't launched any sort of endless stream of rampant speculation.

 

This is just like a Titanic full of Abraham Lincolns sinking in Tiananmen Square.
