I've seen PLENTY of posts via social media and message boards about people getting bent out of shape over humanity in general. My initial reaction was the same as those people. Wasn't until I saw reports of runners finishing the marathon and donating blood ASAP to help the victims when I felt the wave of pride. No amount of evil committed on that day or any will ever out-do the good.



Offensive? Old man, I'm the furthest person you could ever offend. That said, Evil is evil, no matter the skin it wears. I'm not interested in who, only that they get caught/justice (whatever form that comes in).

If that was a planned foreign terriorist act, it was very lame.

I'm feelin' somethin' along the lines of locally whacky, or just plain whacky, on this one.

Al Qaeda denies doing it - for whatever miniscule bit that is worth. I guess they are sorta like McDonalds these days, though - a franchiser without total control in the home office of the franchisees. (give me a Jew-burger cooked in a pressure cooker and salted with ball bearings). Speakin' of Mics, though, I hear the IRA likes their bombs in trash cans.

Totally agree,

If it was some local cell that cooked this up, it's not like they need to call Bin Laden for his permission. They train their people to do shit like this. Hell, they could have just googled "bomb making for dummies."

The police surrounded a suspect apartment that night, I don't think I've heard how that turned out.

I know we detained a Saudi guy, (Al Qaeda presence there). And that some dude was spotted walking the rooftops above where the bombs went off.

I would rather it not have happened at all. That's just me though. I value life, even that of those I do not know. I'm weird like that.

Obviously, all of us who are not part of the problem wish it hadn't happened or had been prevented by security. The problem would be compounded, however, if it had turned out to be some other variety of terrorist. Probably nobody has ever helped the Muslim jihadist cause more than Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber. Why? Because that event allowed the God damned leftist mainstream media to harp away on it that whatever other group is just as bad as Muslims, especially anybody with even a hint of conservative views in his soul. Thankfully, it wasn't another McVeigh, but one (or two) of the "usual suspects".

Certainly nobody with a hint of leftist sentiment in their soul would respect a quote from Rush Limbaugh, however, Rush said something pretty significant Tuesday, the day after the bombing - well before we know who or what group did the deed: If it turns out to be a Muslim, the God damned leftists of the media will be falling all over themselves to say it is just some lone wolf, and absolutely NOT representative of the majority viewpoints of Muslims. However, if it turns out to be anybody the leftist media can possibly link to anything remotely perceived to be conservative or anti-government or pro-American or pro-Israeli or whatever, the same assholes of the media will go massively out of their way to claim the bomber IS representative of whatever. They damn well did that with McVeigh when nobody among conservatives praised or defended him.

What's that? The left will do anything they can to attribute violence from leftists to be an isolated incident and violence from right-wingers to be the norm? Yep, sounds like human nature and typical partisan politics that comes from both sides of the aisle to me.
