    I honestly don't know why I click these links. I hate all this carnage but something inside me can't stop myself from clicking them.

    Curiosity?

    Why are people posting/wanting to see graphic/gory photos? Do they get off of it or something?

    I was in Downtown Boston the moment this occurred. They had to evacuate my train station, I had no idea what was going on at the time. It all made sense when I got to my university and people were all crowded around the TV in the gym. It was silent. No words. Prayers to all those affected.

    Red, you state in your last statement the reason why the government, and who they sponsor are the suspects IMO. I think people just want to say no way, that couldn't be.

    Why were they calling it drills at the Marathon?

    Did you have people there physically at the Marathon that you've talked to?
    Have you heard the others' including a big time runner, and a cross country coach saying that it was suspicious.

    The reason they say it is a drill is just in case someone gets caught that is involved in the situation. Kind of like that person they apprehended at the Newtown massacre that was running from the scene in camo, and then later released.

    No I don't know who did it, but I don't think it was one Saudi person. I think they had some funding, and it was way more than one person, and that people knew. That would be why people said "Don't run here you're going to die tomorrow." These are straight from people's mouths in Boston, and have been printed in papers outside of CNN, and the agenda based News that is being re-run, and re-played, and talked about, and demonizing people.

    IIRC, the girl in the blue in that first photo was one of the fatalities. (the EMS is checking for a pulse)

    Graphic images keep us grounded. This stuff is real and terrible. Too often we are disconnected and sheltered from it.

    To each his own, I guess. I don't need to see someone in pain and agony over a pool of blood to feel "connected" to them.

    Ha! I love it when the conspiracy theorist come on board. Usually takes a little longer before they start coming up with it though.

    It's crazy when you see a picture snapped immediately after the blasts and there are about ten people with jackets that say physician on the back of them tending to victims.

    Or maybe it's because these doctors were in on it?

    Psshhh...

    Now is not the time for conspiracy theories.

    So, so horrible.

    It sucks that we will probably never find out who did this. If i were muslim and I knew anything i would keep my mouth shut. I think feds would a accuse me of being an accomplice before treating me like an american with rights and knowledge of the situation.

    If he/she/they strike again and get away with it then I declare bombs much more of a threat to society than guns.

    I heard from my brother's wife's brother-in-law's father's wife's son that the Scientologists were putting conspiracy theories out on the web to see who was gullible enough to spread them in order to identify ideal targets to recruit.

    Im not going to defend my government that just failed me. If there really were bomb threats and bomb sniffing dogs out there before the marathon and no one found anything when there were 7 bombs planted then our tax dollars are being wasted.

    On top of that the only lead they have is a man dress in black who was wearing a back pack and denied access to the event....we must find this man dressed in black who has probably already changed by now.

    I don't know where i read it but I seem to recall an article about the oklahoma bombings where it was mentioned bombings in the U.S. not directed at taking down buildings or infrastructure are most likely the work of a nutter or nutters without poltical agenda.

    I should have said, the bombs were designed for maximum human carnage.

    Sorry, I lived and worked in the area and I used to walk by there every day (except for during the winters) for two and half years.

    I also used to grab coffee at the Starbucks and drinks at some of the hotels /restaurants that are shown in the picture.

    Just completely shocked to see all of this.
