Seth McFarlane not behind the bombing
2 different scenes edited next to each-other from the same episode

It's unfortunate that this happened, and if an eight year old child was killed as a result of this... that is truly sad. But what else is sad, in a completely different way, is how nearly 90% of the people I know on Facebook spammed this news and their corresponding social commentary on it all day long. Tomorrow half of them will be back to their regular routine of posting stuff on Facebook that only matters to them. By the end of the week, all of them will be back to normal. It's only because this took place in the United States at a public, televised event that this is getting any buzz. People die every day. People kill other people every day. Been happening since Day 1 of humanity (long ing time no matter what side of the evolution debate you fall on).
Just because you live in an affluent area of a developed country doesn't mean you have a cons utional right to live until you're 95. If a bomb goes off in Austin tomorrow, killing/injuring myself and others... I'd just be one of several faces plastered across your TV set on the news. Won't make me any less dead or injured. Won't make the world any less prone to killing and injuring human beings.
Who ever did this should get death,
no suspect has been taken into custody yet. 2 people killed including an 8yr old boy and 120 injured. the bombs had to be 2-3 kilos worth of TNT and surely they couldn't have been concealed in the bomber's pockets, yet the cops still have no clue who ing plotted & carried out the whole . timothy mcveigh was only arrested because he was driving too fast, cop stopped him to give him a speeding ticket and happened to find out that he was driving w/o a licence, even at that point the cop or anyone else still had no idea he was the bomber or . dude was taken to the police station and was later recognized as the bomber
What do you mean?
Everybody knows it's Bush's fault. He gets blames for everything else, why not this too...
I doubt it's that. My guess it they are looking closely at the victims, as to who may want them one dead. A mass attack is one way to cover up a murder attempt. I say this is plausible, because usually, some group wants to take responsibility.
So what do you suggest, everyone keep moving on and just act like nothing happened at all ?
Who has ever actually planted multiple bombs that could potentially kill scores of people in a place with security present to murder one person?
This resembles the Olympic Park bombing more than anything. That was one lone politically motivated nut.
To throw off the motive...
It can happen, and I could easily be wrong.
My question was who ever did anything like that?
Thanks for confirming no one ever did it.
It was Thread from the NBA forum!!!

I suggest that people stop letting like this show up on their radar only when it happens in the United States. Or only when it happens in a cowardly way such as a remote explosive detonation or a school shooting. People die everyday in this country and every other country in this world. How many other stories of people being killed made the news yesterday? How are the deaths and injuries of the Boston Marathon victims worth any more than the deaths and injuries that shallow, low-life, bag human beings caused to innocent human beings yesterday? Did Tragedy just take a day off everywhere else yesterday because it saw the Boston Marathon news on TV? Bet your weight in gold it didn't.
You do realize that even if 99% of Islam is peaceful, that 1% comprises 15,000,000 people, right?
1%? Has to be more than that in one organization alone. I could be wrong but 1% of Islamic people seems a little low to me.
They are peaceful, but funneling money to those who do their bidding for them.
Like I've said before, if you want to know what a religion is really about, practice it zealously. That's the intention of the religion. Even the Bible was developed as an instrument of zealous adherence, not a in flight reading material book. Americans and many other naive, sheltered people seem to have adopted the false notion that these religions are just diet plans.
Because people realize that they might die in a car accident, in a mugging, etc etc. Thinking that you might die while watching a sporting event doesn't usually show up on the radar. And not many of those people die to explosions either. This event will have far ranging repercussions, far more so than most other deaths.
I was really hoping Ja Rule would've released a statement by now. I need someone to help me make sense of all this.
Interesting. It looks like either it was an accident, or the explosives were designed to maim and not kill. Most the ball bearings apparently came out at leg level. Lots of legs amputated or blown off.
I'm not trying to undermine the event. I'm perfectly aware that it's unnatural and uncommon to go to an event like that and say "I sure hope a bomb doesn't go off this time." I just don't subscribe to the notion that one loss of life takes precedence over the loss of another. Sometimes people die that don't deserve to. All we can really do as a race is work harder to get people help when they need it instead of writing it off as mental conditions or "Oh he just didn't get enough hugs from his dad, that's why he became a murderer" and other truly ignorant about why any of this kind of stuff happens in our world.
You're from that area so I know this hits closer to home with you than it does to other SpursTalk users. I'm sure yesterday you were very concerned about the well being of people you love in Boston and I wouldn't want to have to go through that myself. I'm just saying that some people's reaction to this is borderline selfish, or at least extremely nationalist. I'm sick of seeing certain types of people go off about how tragic it is when American life is senselessly lost when bad happens all around the world every day of every year for as long as humans have been around.
i was thinking the same thing
I agree with all of that. I wish more people actually volunteered in their local community rather than just say something on Facebook. That said, a lot of local people DID help out yesterday. Red Cross got a ton of donations online, and the local blood banks were full with people donating.
I think it's easier to lament loss in dynamic situations like this, than it is to lament loss of say, vehicular accidents. (Even though gruesome car wrecks are used... I remember going through those "everyone get in the gym and hear from someone who barely survived a drunken driving experience" events.) And the fact that an 8 year old died won't help with sensationalism.
