Just seen this too... ****ed up...

[Blackbirdws6]

One of our offices is in Boston. Many coworkers were attending but thankfully none of them were hurt. **** is really ****ed up.

unreal what the world is coming to.

unreal what the world is coming to.

Sadly, I feel like this is only the beginning.

[coolmanvette75]

Yea sadly I had a feeling something like this was gonna happen sooner than later. My cousin was right there but thankfully she is alright. **** seriously needs to stop...

[8hnpSS]

**** thats f*d up

[edpontiac91]

unreal what the world is coming to.

This goes on EVERY single day in the Middle East. They (the terrorists) do not care if they are killed doing these acts, because they believe that it is a far better place they are going to. We have been SOOOO LUCKY not to have this type of **** not happening here, but it just shows it could happen almost every single day. :shock:

[Slow-V6]

If I would have stayed in the Military I would have been sent to Iraq to disarm IED's! Didnt think we would start to see them here as well. Its a freaking shame what this world is coming to.

You are assuming it's a foreign terrorist. I would not make that assumption just yet.

[Dudbird113]

As always there are people who think it was setup. Only time will tell.

Not to high jack the thread, but matt isnt the last part in ur sig from full metal jackets ending?

Yup, already reading people claiming it was to promote the anti personal rights agenda etc.

I read a post that the gov was gonna say the "terrorists" used reloading powder, so that way they'll pass another bill to infringe on ur second amend of the ment. But its a load of crock.

Others are saying that it was a domestic bombing to prove that you can do bad things without a firearm.

Either way. Bad stuff. Don't need to drag theories in to it.

[Dudbird113]

As of the moment they supposedly have a suspect but their not saying if they have him or not

Anyone bothered by the graphic nature of pictures just blatantly being posted?

Case in example, the guy in the wheel chair missing half a leg, the media has no respect anymore, and or, we are all desensitized to pictures.

[Dudbird113]

I agree

All around it's just vile. VILE.

Now this is just my opinion but, I would prefer the graphic pictures. This country tries too much to baby the people in general. If the people were to see the real pictures/videos, then they would be more likely to understand the full gravity of the situation.

On the other hand, respect still needs to be paid the the individual/family and if they dont wish to have the images shown to the public then the media should respect that.

[Jersey Mike]

Journalism is ****. I've noticed the blatant disregard for factual accuracy, and see too many instances of details purposely left out to spin a story in a certain way, or a rush to get something, almost anything, out there ASAP. Whatever is more likely to get pageviews and mouse clicks is what often seems to be published.

It's pretty gross.

I'm sorry, but a guy with his lower leg gone and a bloody mess of hanging muscles is not something that should be in mainstream journalism.

Very fine line between graphic realism, and just sensationalism gore.

[z28camaro94]

^ Agreed with both posts.

I saw a picture of a woman with all her fingers gone. After seeing the explosion and the aftermath, it made me realize that it was more intense than I originally thought.

But you are correct, there is def a fine line.

I have personally been told by a major news outlet to re-engineer our study results to make things more marketable. As in "F with the graph scaling until it looks exciting".

Yup.

These photos are viewed as trophies but the parties guilty of these acts. The media needs to learn this. I read that Israel cleans up the scenes of terror attacks within three hours. Their reason is that every minute the scene is there, it's a trophy and an advertisement to more morons

It's a valid point. Especially if nut-jobs get off on media coverage and being plastered across every news headline. It's a Catch22.

Not sure how much they have helped but still pretty cool

Yeah, I saw the original around lunch time, but decided not to post it at the time.
Here's the original: http://imgur.com/a/sUrnA

Not sure how accurate it is, and I'd be ****ting myself if I was any of those people (and actually innocent).

[WayFast84]

It's horrible. Those pictures are disgusting and being thrown around all over and getting other people interested in being the next Boston bomber. I want to do something to help, maybe organize a 5k with proceeds going to the victims?

anyone see the family guy clip that was spliced together? i would link it but it keeps getting taken down, best bet is to search "family guy boston marathon"

pretty nuts

Wtf

[ReDmAn1902]

Wtf

I agree with that, how much more can we all take of this, what is going on today is alot different than the past, its alot worse cause cowards are hiding behind what they did instead of facing death of what they did infront of what they did not like.

[V]

and now the MIT thing... time will tell to see if its connected....

[wrong generation]

paul that thing on the news last night was them. suspect #1 is dead. and #2 is on the loose. wonder who it was that you said was in custody ?

[wrong generation]

ok the one that you said was in custody is #1 who is now dead.

[Jersey Mike]

Yup, now between I heard on News12 while getting ready this morning & on the radio while driving in was (unofficial, but just what they seem to be reporting now):
Last night's 7/11 burglary went awry. Shot & killed the responding officer, stole a MB SUV with the owner still in the car, suspect 1 was killed, suspect 2 fled. Suspect 1 had IEDs strapped to him. Police searched the neighborhood that he fled to & pretty much had suspect 2 trapped within that small town with no escape. He was supposedly caught within the passed 30-minutes. The two suspects are brothers, here for the last year, legally, from Russia. The two brothers are 19 & 20 years old, the surviving brother (in the white cap) is the younger of the two.

Suspect in the white hat is still on the loose.

I hope this doesn't get any more bloody than it already has. A loose cannon at large, and innocent people & law enforcement potentially sitting ducks for this lunatic.
