    WARNING VERY GRAPHIC

    Choose to take this down, as to not upset anyone.

    This is just wrong!

    I would take that down, or at least hide it behind one more set of spoilers to prevent someone accidentally clicking on it.

    Already put some more spoilers on it to hide it more.

    EDIT: Chosen to take it down in respect for the man in the photo, plus I am sure its been already linked to on another site.

    Report: Police are now telling people on scene to turn off celular devices as they may set off additional bombs.

    Too bad that the person who put out that bulletin doesn't realize that even if the modern cellphone is off and even if the battery is out, it is still transmitting.

    No need to bicker....

    People are dead and injured due to bombings. Last report I saw from CBS was 2 dead, 23 injured but that was at 3:45pm (or 75 minutes prior to typing this post). Regardless of the count, it's a damn tragedy that **** like this happens. Innocent people shouldn't have to experience things like this. Unfortunately, there's a lot of sick people in this world that get joy from such events....

    Update: Over 100 people reported injured.

    Update: Boston Cellphone services have been shut down to prevent remote detonation of further devices!

    I had no idea that they are allowed to shut down cell phone services like that.

    you'd be surprised what they are allowed to do post 9/11. good old reactionary rules/policies, but now the people can't confirm their loved ones are safe. all in the name of "safety".

    Although one of the news sites just got off the phone with someone that was on scene and was calling in on a cell phone so...

    I also have the feeling like it would be domestic.
    Like a new McVeigh or whatever...
    The target isn't internationally symbolic, but everyone in the U.S. has heard of the Boston marathon.
    Plus some historic significance of Boston itself, and like people said, it's tax day.

    Interesting side note, the 16th amendment (federal income tax) was never properly ratified (or so they say).
    Watch it end up being some neo-conservative anti-tax thing that no one mainstream has heard of.
    But, hell, it could be anyone at this point.

    Not to make light, but it would be interesting if we all posted our top guess (or top 3), and later see if anyone gets it right.


    Sinister side thought :
    Imagine if the govt tries to peddle it off onto some random Iranian or N.Korean ex-pat, saying he was an agent. I can just imagine DOD salivating at the chance.

    That is just horrible.

    How does bombing a place, causing the death of many innocents who are the daughter/son/husband/wife/siblings of somebody else and causing mass panic in an area ever the answer to anything?

    I hope they are caught, and... arrghh...

    I don't see a happy ending to that, lol.

    Went to war with Panama for way less....
    "Just saying"

    No point in going down this path of conversation. It's not anyone's main point, and no one is making the argument.

    Just throwing it out there, in case it happens, so later I can point back at an old post and say "holy crap, what were the odds".
