this bombing is reddits coming out party, just like the gulf war was cnns

 

ok so the MIT shooting and the car jacking are completely different and unrelated? everythings bunched up together in the cliffs

 

I live not to far from there.
Got texts messages from friends telling me not to leave my apartment.

 

networks are worthless for information at this point

 

Someone just turned themselves in claiming to be friends with the perps

This **** is crazy.

 

I thought the shooter was black?

 

according to the live link posted earlier

 

can we merge the two threads

 

Useless if you want play by play instant gratification news with a disregard for accuracy. But they're still #1 is live coverage.

 

wtf is happening, is this related to the bombings?
