This has been going around:
"To those who have posted anything resembling sympathy for the 19 year old terror suspect ("brainwashed" by his brother?), this pic should horrify you into reality. It appears to show little Martin, about to be killed, standing right next to the backpack bomb that a smirking Tsarnaev in the white cap has just placed next to the boy and his mother and sister (who were both horribly injured). Think about the kind of evil it took to intentionally place a bomb at the feet of this beautiful young family. I am sickened." |

On the Hooters thing... Ben's response was, "What? Did one of the implants fall out?"
As to that other thing... It isn't sympathy to want to proceed in a logical fashion, to want facts, and to be concerned with the legality of the actions taken by law enforcement during this manhunt. Naturalized or not, this kid was an American citizen and we should all be concerned with how our law enforcement treats it's citizens. This is still America, and he is still innocent until proven guilty no matter how much evidence is publicly stacked against him beforehand. Of course, I am not a mindless sheep of a person, consumed by bloodlust and racist/nationalist idiocy... but I am not alone in my opinions. On the Miranda rights... I have only just heard of this, so I also don't know what to believe. |

And everyone around here is now focusing on them being Muslim... thus the intolerance grows. Doesn't matter that it is a small percentage of the Islamic community that does shit like this... nope, gotta hate them all now.
*sigh* I swear.... people are so stupid sometimes. |

They found the missing student who was smeared as being the second suspect. Unfortunately it's possible that he died before finding out his name was cleared. | |||

So I was in the grocery store today. I walked along and this lady in a bright blue jacket and baseball cap came up to me and complimented my daughter. Which was cool and all. Upon looking closer, she was a participant in the Boston Marathon. She wore her baseball cap and her jacket to honor those who participated. I asked her if she had finished. Turns out that she finished about three minutes before the bombings. She said that she was with her family and all were safe. I then asked her if she was okay. She wondered what I was talking about and asked me why I was asking. I don't think she noticed, but I was wearing my Army Reserve polo shirt. I then pointed to the logo and said, "I've been to Iraq, and heard tons of bombings near by my office." The lady smiled and shook my hand. Then asked me if I ever had any issues with PTSD when I got home. I nodded and told her that I have been home for three years now still having issues with loud booms of thunder and wake up in the middle of the night to make sure that all doors and windows are locked. She started to nervously shiver and said that she was having some issues with loud noises. I consoled her and said it's alright because you're not alone on this. She even said that her children were having a hard time with this because they don't want to be separated from her. They almost lost their mother.
PTSD is no joke. It affects all ages. It's a shame that all these civilians have to go through the toughest part of recovery. I only wish the best for each runner and spectator. I wish there was a way I could help, but the only way to do so is to participate in 5ks and thus... 3 mile runs here I come. |

Originally posted by Rogue Well he's been missing since March, so there's a chance he never even knew he was implicated, or what happened. |

Sorcha, I think you actually did a lot of good just by talking to her about it and letting her know she wasn't alone.
I know there are a lot of groups that help Vets with PTSD, like the Wounded Warrior program... maybe you could advocate that they reach out to the people affected by the bombings to help with things like counseling services? Participating in the runs is great as well, but I think it would be nice if more could be done. All I have been able to do so far is try to stem the tide of ignorance in our next generation. All they hear is "Muslim" and they just started making the most offensive comments possible. Teaching hatred only perpetuates the violence and they just don't get that.

The next generation already thinks we are too old and should be put aside to die on our own. O_o no shit. | |||

Yeah... the next gen are just sad.
So yeah, case in point, on Thursday I had to explain to a high school senior that "raghead" was a racial slur. He thought that was just another name for Middle Eastern. |

Women are apparently developing insane crushes on this kid.
Source There were a few Tumblrs dedicated to fan fiction and pictures of him, but they've since been cleared out. Word of the day is hybristophilia. |

Astrophel... a valid observation... but you have to admit it is true.
And... eww. Just... eww! I've never understood hybristophilia at all. |

Because I'm not sure how long this is going to stay online, I'm just going to quote this here. Some lovelorn person wrote this fanfic romanticizing the fuck out of this kid.
I do warn that it's sexually graphic (hence why it's hidden behind spoiler tags), and how they portray the situation is downright disturbing. Also, who the hell writes erotic fiction in the SECOND PERSON?

There's debate about what to do with the older brother's body.
They would burn him and scatter the ashes so there isn't a place to mourn him or build a shrine of sorts, but it's against Muslim beliefs to cremate a body (hence why Osama was dumped in the ocean). The article's pretty fascinating, discussing all the ways people have done away with an unwanted body (McKinley's assassin was dissolved in sulfuric acid). |
