Some of the first photos released (WARNING: They are GRAPHIC). This is absolutely horrendous. |

| Been watching the news ever since I got home. Center City Philly went a little apeshit today, but otherwise...this shit is terrible.
I hate the connections with this time of year they're making too. Like...if its not one thing to be afraid of, its another, it seems like they're trying to enforce... |

| Press conference comes on, what's one of the first questions? "Was this attack just a way to restrict our civil liberties?" (paraphrased)
Goddammit people. |

How quickly things like this have already started circulating:
Also, apparently because Obama didn't immediately call the attacks "terror," people are getting upset. 
You know, because there isn't anything more important to be concerned about like say bombings that we don't know who set off, unexploded bombs that were discovered, three people dead and many, many others injured and bleeding in the streets. Yes, our president not calling this a terrorist attack was the most pressing issue that happened yesterday. |

Originally posted by Rogue That infuriates me to no end. If I remember correctly, it took a good minute or two before President Bush used that word, didn't it? (911 was MUCH more blatant, so take that into consideration.) I'm not a fan of Gee Dubwya, but the criticism over his initial reactions to 911 was ridiculous, in my opinion. The guy was in the presence of children on top of the fact that any leader, whether you voted for 'em or not, would be smart to do everything in their power to remain somber and serious, but not cause mass panic. More than "need" be, that is. The same applies to Obama yesterday, in my opinion. (Correct me if I'm wrong on the thing with Bush. And remember, I'm being considerate of the different situations.) The reason for bringing this up is to remind people criticizing Obama for this now, that history is a tool to learn from.... |

| Obama didn't say the word "terror"?? Oh gee... maybe because it didn't need to be said? Do you have to announce to everyone that it is raining when there is water pouring from the sky?
That said... the people trying to politicize this sicken me. And the people who jump to conclusions make me want to kick them in the face. This is going to be rather difficult to figure out I think, as there were SO many potential reasons and targets that figuring out which one it was is going to take awhile. I mean, it was a holiday in the city... could be the city was the target. It was tax day, could be a disgruntled citizen. The Marathon is an international event, could be one of the other countries' runners was a target (and then it could be another nation or an American doing the targeting). Could be a sociopath just out to kill people. So many potential targets and motives. |

| Also, Mother Jones reports on the false info that's been reported: namely that cellphone service was not shut down in all of Boston, only 3 people were killed (not 12), there was no bombing at JFK Library, there were no additional bombs found (even I mentioned this in a previous post), that they have a Saudi in custody, or that they have footage of a possible suspect with backpacks.

Originally posted by Rogue And of course that turned out to be incorrect. Fuck. Now the news is reporting they only have suspicions based on how these two men reacted to the explosions in surveillance video. Seriously, in j-school, they teach you that it's better to wait and make sure your information is accurate, not this bullshit of trying to be the first to report things whether it's true or not. This is bullshit. (Last edited by Rogue on 04-17-13 11:44 PM) |

| Journalism went out the door long ago. Now it's about having the next big scoop before everyone else, and who cares if you're wrong as long as you bring in the money when you're right? | |||

| Holy shit, the things that happen while you are sleeping!
The two guys the FBI identified as Suspect 1 and Suspect 2 robbed a 7 Eleven last night, one is now dead from police gunfire and the second is on the run. |

Images like this have been pouring in from the Middle East:
In the meantime, 27 people were killed in Baghdad yesterday when a coffee shop was bombed. Still, this isn't to say that the 3 people who were killed thanks to these pressure cooker bombers are any less or more important. I truly hope they bring to justice those who are responsible. |

Friends of the second suspect react:
This reminds me of when we discovered Dan, the guy who dated my best friend in high school, killed two people, dismembered them, and left pieces of them all over El Dorado Park. (Last edited by Rogue on 04-19-13 05:51 PM) |

| And now the spectacle of the public trial....
I truly feel bad for the kid that made that Facebook post... to have it come out that someone you knew that well could do something like this... it is creepy. |

| In lighter news, there was a bomb scare at the Hollywood Hooters yesterday. A man came in and as a joke shouted that he had a bomb in his lunch pail.
Also, people are getting upset about the kid not being read his Miranda rights, but when I was watching the news they repeatedly said he was read them. I just don't know who to believe in this whole story any more. |
