The person/people who did this probably thought they were justified in this horrific actions and doing good not evil. How f*#ked up is that. If they could forget everything they know and just use logic and reason to discern good from evil they would come to the conclusion that it's never justified to kill or hurt innocent people. But they have allowed themselves to be brainwashed to the point of thinking the worst, evil things possible are somehow supporting their f*#ked up cause. I don't think you'll ever weed out all these messed up people, and first you have to look for them and take them out whenever possible, but we should also be trying to educate people all over the world that they should use their own brains to figure out right and wrong and when someone tells them violence against innocent people is somehow justified don't believe that bullsh#t.

We don't know squat about who did this. We will know soon enough.
For now I suggest sending prayers/vibes/good thought, whatever you want to call it, to the victims, their families, and the first responders.

well
we have no idea at this time "who" did it
immediate assumptions are people from the Middle East (Ron)
and JHedge concludes "right wing" terrorism
remember the Oklahoma bombing?
it was a white guy, an American, "Timothy"

I was at work in NH when it happened.
Cell service was nil, the lines were all busy, my coworkers and I speculated that something bad had happened. Sadly we were right.
My thoughts go out to all those involved.

My heart goes out to the victims, their families, and to the people of Boston.
I love running marathons and the culture around the events. It boils my blood to think how a positive event like the Boston marathon has turned into a blood bath.

So if it were to turn out to be Saudis (again, although my knee-jerk reaction is the same as Hedge's), which country would we start a BS war in this time?
I mean, last time, we bombed Afghanistan and invaded Iraq. Maybe this time it'll be Bangladesh and Norway...neither has f*#k-all to do with anything, but neither did Iraq, and after the last time it's clear that we sure as hell won't actually go after Saudi Arabia.

The ME is FULL of people who think just that. Cowardly attacks the norm. They too had their explosions- in many countries today, Iraq included.
It's a little early to jump to conclusions, Ron. At the time of the Oklahoma City bombing, I was working on a crew with a Portuguese guy from the Azores. In the immediate aftermath he was on the receiving end of a lot of abuse, we had to shut down our job and get him back to the office, we were really worried about his safety.

WAY MORE PEOPLE DIED IN CAR ACCIDENTS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!! DO you really think each and every one of those lost to the day to day trgaedies are any less of a TRAGEDY? I really am being serious here.
Yeah this sucks and yeah it IS legitimate news.
But it sure as hell is not legitimate reason to go to war or lose more freedoms via something like the UNPATRIOTIC ACT. I hope we don't use it as an excuse.

No it is not Ron. America must get over this minor crap. And yes it is MINOR when considered in the full picture.
GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH. The Land of the BRAVE? YER GUNNA DIE! What is BRAVE if it isn't the ability to face that fact? What is Brave if you sacrifice decency because of fear?
Some idiot from wherever with a couple bombs and kills a few folks???
And we should even react at all?? Compared to what?.. last weeks lightning strike deaths?
I guarantee most SAUDI's are good people you would be blessed to have as friends... as all friends are a blessing.
People are people and the vast majority are pretty decent folks.

And someone intentionally caused it. So we find that person or persons. We make sure they cannot strike again.
BUT WE DAMN WELL SHOULD NOT CONDEMN A WHOLE ARTIFICIAL CONSTRUCT OF SOME GROUP OF PEOPLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF ONE OR A FEW.
Minor is a relative term. If you knew someone who died or was hurt here.. it is MAJOR.. it is a lifechanging event of great deapth.
If you didn't know anyone here you are just sitting in your chair and bemoaning the fact that you were informed that in the real world bad things happen.
You are like a 6 year old that learns that life has some harsh realities and goes crying to bed.
If you think this is more horrible than the last multicar interstate pileup then you are self deceived and unthinkingly naive or hypocritical.
