Breaking: Explosion at Boston Marathon [2 dead, many injured] - Polidicks

[QUOTE=MrBob1337;40295421]Apparently there were bomb-sniffing dogs at the finish line for a "drill", but it seems to me they knew there was a threat. If that's true (which is still in the air), then that's a serious mistake.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;40295437]It's clearly a play on what happened there before in history.[/QUOTE] ..what happened there before? Pardon my ignorance but not everyone is well versed on american history.

[QUOTE=davidaap;40295432]What is the problem with the word massacre? D: not from the usa btw so i dont know all the history.[/QUOTE] It's not necessarily an inaccurate word, but it's in poor taste due to the Boston Massacre being a real event that took place in 1770.

[QUOTE=cueballv2themax;40295442]Tried to change it there, wouldn't let me ???[/QUOTE] Can only do it within the first few moments of making the title

[QUOTE=davidaap;40295432]What is the problem with the word massacre? D: not from the usa btw so i dont know all the history.[/QUOTE] The Boston massacre was an event during the revolution where a bunch of Boston citizens were gunned down by British soldiers. Not relevant, but the "joke" is horrible.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;40295454]Can only do it within the first few moments of making the title[/QUOTE] AFAIK, within first ~3-5m. After that, you need to PM a mod.

I have a feeling whoever changed the title didn't know there was an actual event called the Boston Massacre and just added "Boston Massacre v2" only because this was the second thread on this bombing. At least that's what I hope.

Whoever changed that title....just why..

who gives a shit if he added something to the title, we're just going to be making shitty puns about this in a few months

[QUOTE=cueballv2themax;40295442]Tried to change it there, wouldn't let me ???[/QUOTE] I dont think you can change the title of a thread after an hour

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;40295426]the London marathon is coming up soon isn't it? I wonder if they'll put in extra security[/QUOTE] I heard on the radio that officials were already overlooking security plans for the London marathon.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;40295437]It's clearly a play on what happened there before in history.[/QUOTE]Oooh... Well that would explain better why people are upset, I really didn't get what all the commotion was about

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;40295461][url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_massacre[/url][/QUOTE] I am 100% certain whoever changed the title wasn't referring to that.

Hey, ya know what guys? I WAS THERE! HOLY SHIT, I was in the charlet, a restaurant right next to the finish line. I was there with my mom and her friend. They were walking outside but were blown inside due to the explosion. The lights flickered and everyone flipped out. We went out the back door and there was this hysterical lady inside. We calmed her down. Also my mom's friend was a nurse and she ran out and helped all of the wounded. We heard people telling stories of people covered in blood and it was terrifying. We then walked a long way to one of my mom's friends cousins hotel in which we were brought into a car and brought home. It was so fucking crazy people were hysterical and everyone was crying and there was smoke and blood on the streets. My oh my.

[QUOTE=KingArcher;40295467]who gives a shit if he added something to the title, we're just going to be making shitty puns about this in a few months[/QUOTE] Even so, a few months from now is not today.

shitsticks, thanks Scorpious

[QUOTE=Scot;40295479]I am 100% certain whoever changed the title wasn't referring to that.[/QUOTE] yeah right, and my ass is skinny, okay

[QUOTE=KingArcher;40295467]who gives a shit if he added something to the title, we're just going to be making shitty puns about this in a few months[/QUOTE] Yah, but this is a mod. AKA, the guys who are suppose to not do this shit.

[QUOTE=Scot;40295479]I am 100% certain whoever changed the title wasn't referring to that.[/QUOTE] There's no way to know for sure but that doesn't mean it isn't an offensive title.

[QUOTE=Suttles;40295404]Max?[/QUOTE] He said American. Not human.

[QUOTE=Scot;40295479]I am 100% certain whoever changed the title wasn't referring to that.[/QUOTE] They put "v2" at the end of it. It was a reference and a terrible joke.

So sorry to hear about this.. I wish all of thw News companies would stop spreading video/photos of the gore, and use their ability to mass-communicate to help those who are lost and trying to contact family. Also, I saw this on Facebook. The relatives of the Sandy Hook shooting were seated at the VIP section of the marathon at the the end of the race, the same place the bomb went off. Twenty-six people died in Sandy Hook. How many miles is a marathon?

[QUOTE=KingArcher;40295467]who gives a shit if he added something to the title, we're just going to be making shitty puns about this in a few months[/QUOTE] maybe there will be a hundred thousand puns about this in a few months, but right now an eight year old child is dead and everyone is panicking and hoping nobody they know was injured or killed kindly fuck off

Boston Massacre was where a bunch of American men threw stones at some British soldiers and got shot. It was one of the events that helped spark the American revolution.
