No. Safety is an illusion.
However, staying away from large public events in major cities isn't a BAD idea...
You're never gonna be 100% safe. From the smallest of the micro-scale to the largest of the macro-scale, things are constantly trying to kill you.
Not every stupid question. I'm certain there's a few no one has thought of yet. Wait. Is thought actually required to ask a stupid question?the situation is SO fluid.
the media is reacting as it usually does, going NUTS over every little tid-bit of information and asking every stupid question possible.
Unbelievable! :shock:
With large crowds, how can they control something like this? Have we moved to a third world lawless country? People dead...people missing limbs? Horrible! :shock:
Frankly I'm surprised that this is all that's happened since 9/11. I know that there have been many attempts, but this is the first successful attack in 12 years.
No credible claims of responsibility. We are obviously tracking this. What are the odds of tracking the explosive devices?

Moving forward at this time, this thread is for discussing the event that is occuring. SPECIFICALLY discussing the event that is occuring. Anyone attempting to use this event to make political points about ANY other issue that isn't EXTREMELY related DIRECTLY to this event will be thread banned. Similarly, anyone derailing the thread by spending entire posts griping about what other people say, without actually discussing the story, will be thread banned. Situations like this get everyone on edge and it's understandable. But lets keep this thread focused ON TOPIC. If you want to rant about someones reaction, you have the basement. If you want to make tangental political points, start a thread in a different section. |
The miracle is that we haven't had many more of these since 9/11. Bottle bombs from car windows at outdoor cafes...timed explosives at sporting events...in shopping malls. That has been the real miracle. Finding whoever did this quickly is very important to our country.

I do, actually.
Blitzer is saying NY and a couple other major Cities are beefing up security......I guess that's what he is trying to say.
LMAO thanks for the laugh!
Hmm, on patriots day, in boston, where the original tea party happened.
This feels scripted to target a white "tea party" extremist that had linked up with "Alquaida".
This is tragic, and my condolences to all victims, and I do hope that im wrong. We'll see, if there are culprits found within the next 24 hours, odds are it will be a scapegoat, there would likely be very little evidence that would be gathered without some lab work.
That said, what would be the benefit of bombing a marathon ?!? Maybe someone pissed off because the organizers didn't allow the person to run?
