Boston Marathon hit by explosions

[Coito ergo sum]

This is EXACTLY the time, because when america is dishing it out, they NEVER stop to ask if THEY would like it done to them.

When "America" places bombs at civilian sporting events?

It's the simplest lesson, that mothers teach their kids. If YOU wouldn't like it, don't do it to others.

LOL -- marathon runners of the world, beware!

Now they know, perhaps they will think twice about exporting this shit to other people, in the future.

Probably not, though.

Go suck George Galloway's arse again, drunken Irish layabout.

I'm working in the area that this happened today. Should be interesting trying to get there.

You be safe, you hear?

[Twoflower]

Always. I think my charge and I will be staying at his house today.

Where was all the pious concern, that's been gushing on this thread, when a US pilot killed 12 children, 4 women and one adult male, with a push of his finger, just a few weeks ago in Kunar Province?

I used up my sympathy on that, and others like it.

Three dead in a bomb attack would be a very peaceful day in Baghdad, or Afghanistan. Or Northern Ireland, a few years ago.

The fact remains that the people of Boston were actively engaged in terrorism for years, by putting money in the IRA collecting tins. It could have been stopped by the US government at any time, but wasn't. The city has a lot of blood on it's hands.
Fuck Boston.

Must be chaos. Stay safe.

[Twoflower]

My biggest concern will be getting to the house, they have closed most of the streets so I'm not sure if they will let me through.

Yeah. Zombies are everywhere. We must be very careful. Yeah. Very careful.

The kid that died was the child of my cousin's boss. His daughter lost a leg and his wife is in critical condition.

Just because people are sympathetic about this incident does not mean they are not also sympathetic about that incident. There is a difference, however, in terms of culpability when one attack is specifically intended to attack civilians and designed to cause as much civilian damage and death as possible, whereas the other is a military strike against Taliban militants which was not intended to inflict civilian casualties.

Fuck Boston.

The "fact?" Your ASSERTION remains. What do you base that on? Your own navel-gazing?

Fuck you, and every Irishman that thinks like you. No wonder your country doesn't amount to much, with folks like you dragging it down.

Yep, these aren't the people who should be punished for some Bostonians supporting the IRA 400 years ago.

[cronus]

I knew someone vaguely who lost a leg in the troubles. I'm amazed at the coincidence but not drawing any moral universal from it. Unlike some I realize shit happens. There ain't no use pointing fingers. It happens all the time and end of story. We will all die. Life ends in tragedy 100%

[Coito ergo sum]

Trigger Warning!!!1! :

Let that be a lesson to them. How dare they allow and finance Sinn Fein and the IRA to fight for Northern Irish Independence.

Good point, Mistermack.

Jeezus, that leg one is full on. Probably could do with a spoiler tag.
