I wouldn't be at all surprised if the fire at JFK library was supposed to be the first thing to happen as a diversion to pull law enforcement away from the marathon area before the bombs went off.

I respect your opinion. I've seen some of the worst IED' injuries that there was barely anything left that looked saveable and our medics had fixed them up and survived, granted they were disfigured.. Still survived

So sorry to hear this, it really hits home when you know people who were hurt. Frown I wish the crazies would blow themselves up. So foolish to have people of one nation against another, as we should be banning together and sharing resources to explore space where we will need to go when the planet is no longer inhabitable. Probably inhabitable from other crazies.

What would the world do if there was a threat from some other species in outer space? You never know. Maybe it is time to get along and learn to work together before it is to late, and we our someone's ants.
hard to share resources when the govt uses IDIQ to control the markets



I'm praying for your friend landers. that's just horrifying.

The thought that so many people spend so many hours training for a marathon to make to the Boston or New York races and then some idiot feels the need to do this - makes me really want to spend more time with my dog. Sadwalk left with even less faith in humanity
Amen sister. Amen.

Just saw the video online, it was awful. I was walking to the finish line. Luckly, I made a few mistakes today. Forgot my wallet on my way out was the one that slowed me down. I could have been there, at the bomb site.
