Boston Marathon Bombing

[dustyr55]

All I have heard is that they are questioning a person. Not calling them a person of interest as of yet. It may take a bit of time, but justice will be served.

130+ Injured, 20 of them in ICU.

3 confirmed dead, one being an 8 year old child.

Horrible day indeed.

My heart goes out to the families who have been affected by this tragedy. The entire world is together in mourning and praying for the people of Boston.

To those responsible, I hope they meet a swift and inexorable demise.

So i decid to turn on the tv after my run and i was amazed it was very sad to hear of the deaths my hearts are out to all who where ,their being an ems and firefighter i know it can get bad and hard for the people to cope with what they ! just hope my neighbor John and friend jeff are ok both where runners ! My mind is with all the frist responders and the injured people !

While obvoiusly a great tragedy for the people of Boston and the USA, it should be noted that 50 were killed and 300 injured in Iraq yesterday by similar bombs-some folks have to live with this crap every day and it barely makes the news any more...

My friend was there and finished just before they went off thank God he is ok, but my prayers are still with those who were physically affected by them. Violence will always exist no matter the medium of attack it is a sick world.

Same here. I am from MA (now in VA) but have many friends who were there today. Used to go to the Red Sox game and then the Marathon usually every year.....Scary stuff. Poor 8 yr old kid probly just trying to watch his Mom or Dad cross the finish line. Makes me sick

I hope hell has a special place for cowards like the perpetrators here.
