    i was thinking it could be a nutjob trying to show the newtown people that getting rid of guns won't stop nutjobs causing violence and chaos.

    tragedy

    also, no point in getting buttons pushed even if someone is a button-pusher.

    the best way is to sympathize and wait for more information.

    As horrible as this is, clearly this was planned to be much bigger. Kudos to law enforcement for being quick to respond and minimizing this.

    I was considering taking my wife and daughter to watch Boston Marathon today. Ended up staying home because I got lazy. We often go to that part of the city which is right next to Newbury street.

    This is just so terribly sad. :(

    PS. Some of the folks who are posting in this thread are just sad and terrible human beings.

    I did not see Newtown people thing.

    yeah, if the target are Newtown people, this could be 99% related with some pro-gun nuts.
