[QUOTE=archangel125;40293915]This is going to sound awful, but I'd much rather have had a white American be the culprit than some foreigner, or a racialized person. Why? Because I know that now minorities are going to be the victims of harrassment and hate crimes in the States for a while to come. It happened after 9/11, it'll happen again.[/QUOTE]
oh yeah.
That's the saddest part about all this really. Racists will rant on about how this guy was probably angry with the white agenda or some bullshit to keep spweing hate speech.

I'm listening to the police radio and one of the officers mentioned his cellphone having issues, apparently not knowing that the towers are down to prevent new bombs from being set off

I only find this unsettling because it was posted 2 hours before all of this happened, related or not.[/QUOTE]
No it wasn't.
[QUOTE=areolop;40293846]Stay off 4Chan. Stupid shit going on there.[/QUOTE]
what, /pol/?
it doesn't surprise me.
people act like dicks when they're anonymous, even bigger dicks when they see others doing it and think it's okay.
[QUOTE=Amplified;40293924]Can somebody please explain this.

2:53 pm
the explosion happened around 2:50pm
Did they clean the van or just give the order to clean the van?
[QUOTE=pessimistic;40293911]These jokes are crossing the line, unlike some of the runners.[/QUOTE]
Goodbye fuckwad.
I would say I'm shocked, but over the years I've come to realize that there are simply too many people fucked in the head to still be surprised at tragedies such as these.
I just hope the loss of life will be at a minimum, and that the people responsible will be brought to justice.

that was hillarious don't be a tightass
Possible heart attack in commons. They're requesting an ambulance.
[QUOTE=spekter;40293959]Did they clean the van or just give the order to clean the van?[/QUOTE]
It's cleared, the man on the police radio said it was just a delivery truck that came by out of the blue.
[QUOTE=Lazore;40293872]According to that logic, stay off facepunch!
[sp]there is stupid shit everywhere on the internet[/sp][/QUOTE]I hate this idea of "Well, this site has has some bad stuff, so it is just as bad as this one that has a lot of bad stuff!" Here, we actually cut people off if they act like horrible jackasses. People that try to start shit or make exceptionally uncalled for jokes get banned. We cull that. Other sites will often just let that shit run amok. There is a difference, and this idea that they're all in the same basket is just ridiculous. But this has nothing to do with the incident.
Have they said what has happened with the duffel bag at the hospital? Any reports on if it was anything?
and my scanner is losing the signal...
Is the death toll still 2?
I just woke up to the news of this, this is fucking terrible, thoughts go out to anyone affected
This whole situation reminds me of this:

People like you are the fucking worst.
My best friend since first grade was there today, and I haven't heard from him since this shit went down, and here some fuck like you is sitting on his fucking computer trying to justify cracking jokes about it.
You are genuine scum.
/b/ is blaming 9gag
stay off chan for a couple of days
Any leads on what kind of explosion it was? Where it was an attack, someone being a fuck-wit, or a freak accident?
A lot of people are quick to point fingers right now, but don't realize it could be a horrible accident.

Maybe twitter is not synced with your time zone?
I couldn't imagine being a police officer in Boston right now. Not only do they have to deal with this massive tragedy, things are still happening in the city right now that would normally happen. Hit and runs, speeding, unrelated crimes and injuries. They have to juggle all this shit at once, and all this panic is causing more accidents too. I know a lot of people dislike police, but I'll never be one of those people. There are assholes, sure, but there are so many that have to put their life on the line and sacrifice themselves, because this kind of shit could happen anywhere. Nothing but respect for them.
