Boston Marathon Explosion

Poor, poor people, my thoughts go out to them and their families.
In other news, NK had a marathon not too long ago, so they might have done it.

Terrorism: The act of doing extreme acts to terrorize people and gain media attention and let your cause be known.
Unless the perps are anarchists, this is just a random act of violence.

Not really, considering the media attention the've been getting. Even here in Greece they're No.1 on TV. Of course, if no organization takes responsibility, we can't be sure.
And unfortunately, last news is that an 8-year old died, sending the death toll to 3. My mind is with these people's families.

Just be thankful that your brother didn't attend the Boston Marathon this year. But yeah this was a despicable act and my heart and prayers go out to the victims and families of this terrible tragedy.
If it was a terrorist attack, they did a pretty bad job-especially after flying planes into buildings. A pressure cooker bomb is nothing in comparison. It's probably domestic terrorism if its anything more than your average lunatic. I did hear that someone tried to poison the president and other important people through the mail yesterday. The people I've talled to seem to think it's related.
lol gullible.
Did they find out why it happened yet, or is just some random act of violence still?

They did try that same thing about a week after 9/11 in 2001. Someone sent letters laced with Anthrax (the poison) to high-standing government officials, and Tom Brokaw.
The NY Times is saying that one suspect has already died in a police standoff. The other is on a crime spree, which most likely left this officer dead. My prayers go out to this officer and his family.

The fact that they were Chechen.
F***s given: 0
The fact that the one paid for his crimes with his life; serves him right. Equal punishment.
The chilling fact that some screwbrain is most likely going to make a movie out of it is what scares me.

Yeah, brothers Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, are guilty of this crime. They are still searching for this guy, and are trying to capture, not kill, him so that they can find out why they did this. (Live Updates)
They have just caught Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and he is now in custody. Apparently he was bugging out in a boat in someone's backyard and was badly wounded.
