Just been watching footage of the explosions, I can't believe nobody has died, it looked like it took out a bunch of people. | |

Apparently there were ball-bearings on the floor afterwards, which explains the limbs. | |

Looking at the images, ie the big explosion next to a crowd of people, it's a miracle only 3 have died. I can't quite figure out how. | |

That's because the perpetrators are untalented losers, good for nothing in life not even cowardly killing other people. Wishing the rest of their miserable existence to be a long slow agonizing death in a cage. | |

I read that the first suspect they had in custody was a Saudi man that someone else out there tackled because he was near the blast and thought he was acting "suspiciously". I'd be acting pretty sketchy too if I was a brown guy that happened to be near a bomb that just went off, "Oh fuck me, this is not gonna look good..." | |

Time for the government to take away more of our freedoms, yippie. | |

In fact, I bet it was an inside job precisely aimed at making an excuse to take away more of our freedoms, yippie. | |

Actually I should edit that to say "Time for Americans to beg the U.S. government to pretty please take away more of our freedoms, yippie!" | |

Jogging doesn't kill people, bombs kill people, who jog. | |

No, they kill people who watch people who jog. Another proof that jogging is good for your health! | |

Nah unlike most libertarians I believe pretty much all the bad shit the government does to us is welcomed with open arms by the public. It's one thing to criticize people for having ill-advised views, its another to say that they shouldn't be allowed to have those views. | |

Boost that story makes my head hurt cause its obviously incredibly wrong what happened to them but I can't help but think that if I were an Arab-American I'd go the extra mile to make sure no one feels uncomfortable on an airplane with me. Like, I'd forgo the turban that day and avoid praying loudly in Arabic during take off, just to be a gentleman. | |

Do we have a right to be scared and suspicious? Haven't the government/media/legal system cultivated and thrived upon our fear? Even if it is based on ignorance. | |

There's been like 12-18h hours were the word spread all across the internet (and contaminated the traditional press) that this Sunil Tripathi student who disappeared from Brown uni a month ago was one of the bombers with what seemed a high degree of certainty. | |

I think we need to be careful and not quick to judgement on social media, labeling it a digital lynch mob. The speed with which people can offer up tips and consume updates is a good thing for solving crimes. | |
