Boston Marathon Bombings

[Horse Boots]

Is it wrong of me to wish death upon whoever did this? Every time something like this happens, I always hope they catch and execute those who are responsible

A lot of people feel that way after a tragedy. Personally, I just prefer for those people to be shamed rather than executed.

And then we'll have a repeat of the Holmies once the perp is out. Fans of some real "BAD BOY"! Fucking hell.

I don't know, my first impulse is to make bad jokes. I call it the Gottfried defense. It does help dealing with tragedy.
This Rush guy, on the other hand, seems to be more like he's just stirring up shit.

^ And during the 2005 london bombings, almost everyone in my german class suggested it was the french (with a few thinking it was the IRA) simply because it was the day after London beat out Paris in hosting the olympics.

my flatmate's dad still thinks it was the IRA
yes really

From people I know in Boston, it seems there could be a bunch of people involved (ie. Black Bloc/WTO/NWO crazies).
The ordinance was in backpacks left in trash cans.

On another note, I know someone who finished the race ~10 min before the explosions. No word from her, but she's a technophobe.

I agree, that does help, but it's way too soon right now.

I find it impossible to joke about any kind of tragedy. Best thing for me to do is just avoid the news if I want to cope with it.

It's certainly not something I joke about a lot, but it doesn't bother me either. There will come a time when I can chuckle at a joke about this incident, just like I can chuckle at a 9/11 joke or a Holocaust joke now.

Some punks broke into my school and spray painted swastikas one morning my junior year. The date? Early morning, Sep 11 2001.

We thought Nazis were behind it for literally several seconds before a teacher knocked some sense into us.

We're pretty close to the anniversaries of Waco, OKC, and Columbine correct? Lord only knows who and why...

 

[shutupman]

It's "Patriots' Day", if I'm not mistaken.

I think the anniversery of OKC is this weekend

As is the anniversary of Columbine. April 20th

And of course an 8-year-old child is among the dead. Why should it be anyone but complete innocents who die?

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

It's Hitler's birthday this Saturday as well, the same day as Columbine.

OKC is this Friday.

I don't get why people do this. What kind of message are they trying to send?

"im a big fat faggot nd i poop my pants," is the message I get from most spree killers.

 

[Trombonista]

Now that I think about it, the message all these mass murderers send could just be "I'm not happy, so no one else can be happy!"

My close friend was two blocks away from them! Lovely addition to my stressful day.
