So what you're saying is the next time someone becomes critically injured to not call 911 or get medical assistance because only god can heal.

Now do you see why you're called a troll?


inorite.

so my faith makes me a troll? if you feel that way, tell your surgeons to bring back the 3 ppl killed. if they don't make it happen, then the both of you are trolling.

If you have the free time and start to watch them, you do get addicted, I remember during summers of HS at times, and I would watch them having nothing better to do and they arent too bad.
Lolol
My mom would watch them all day... And night....

What exactly is Revere?

Did a search and found this news story.


Boston police and a cadre of federal officials descended on an Ocean Avenue apartment complex in Revere last night.


In addition to two Boston Police K-9 units and a bomb squad unit, a large contingent of federal agents from the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as Homeland Security investigations and state police had assembled at the two buildings.


It was unclear whether the search was connected to the Boston Marathon bombings. Tight-lipped agents said nothing to assembled media. Worried building residents said they were left in the dark.

Revere Beach on Ocean Ave. is a nice area. Those condo's go for $250k. Anxious to see who they are targeting. Absolutely unreal an 8yr old boy died in this mess, not to mention the two others and all those hurt.

NBC cancelled Revolution for tonight to air a special on this. Sigh. I've been reading about this all day. They couldn't cancel the Voice though? Really? I just doubt there's anything new at this time of night that MSNBC, CNN, and Fox haven't covered already.

My sympathies to the injured and the deceased. Saw some very very graphic images on reddit (probably not appropriate on SD. )


Does the FBI have any idea who/what did this yet? Even speculation?



I'm guessing the Podium is probably talking about how our civil liberties are going to be even more violated as it is because of this.

Seriously I was very mad at myself before that. I first forgot to pickup someone from the airport then I forgot my wallet so I have to go back home in order to get my T-pass. I was frustrated that I am getting old.Stick Out Tongue . Now I feel like to get hammered for how lucky I was
There were so many stories after 911 about the reasons that people whom should have been at the trade center, were delayed. There were lots of them that felt terrible guilt that others died while they stopped for donuts. I'm really glad that you're getting old (like me).

Boston police issued an alert for a rental van that may have sought access to the marathon route, and another alert for a man wearing dark clothing and a hood who was seen leaving the scene of the blasts.
But as he revealed the death toll had climbed to three, Police Commissioner Ed Davis stressed that authorities had not identified a suspect and were instead "talking to" numerous people.
"This cowardly act will not be taken in stride," Davis said. "We will turn every rock over to find out who is responsible for this."

Talk about what's in The Podium should be taken to The Podium.

I hope this is not a precursor to something bigger. As was the case with WTC.

I just wanted to share that my family was there at the finish line waiting for me to cross. They were feet away from the first blast. I was less than half mile from the finish line. It was a crazy scene. My family made it out ok. We are so sadden for everyone that weren't so lucky.

What a gruesome scene.

Quote :
Roupen Bastajian, a Rhode Island state trooper, had just finished running the race when he heard the blasts. He says, "At least 25 to 30 people have at least one leg missing, or an ankle missing, or two legs missing."
