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

[QUOTE=KEITH1437;40295082][url]http://boards.4chan.org/mu/res/35150163#p35150270[/url] Was posted a few hours before the incident. Really hoping it's just a coincidence. My heart goes out to the family.[/QUOTE] of course its a fucking coincident, people throw out threats all the time, sometimes shit like that happends.

It's not the gore that bothers me. It's the look that the people who are in shock have on their faces.

NPR just confirmed that one of the first two who died in the explosion was an 8 year old child.

[QUOTE=Radley;40295140]They've got green light since it was cleared IRC.[/QUOTE] Was that connected to the suspicious black duffel bag or separate situation? It's hard to keep track of all this

[QUOTE=archangel125;40295136]It's like some people are getting off on the gore.[/QUOTE] Morbid curiosity, more or less. I'll admit, I know a lot of the tagged stuff is gory but I still click them.

Waiting for Fox News to blame this on violent vidya gaems.

My heart goes out to the family.[/QUOTE] i can't believe people think that's more than a small coincidence this attack was obviously quite planned, and that post doesn't even go in to detail about anything it's just a joke

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;40295162]Was that connected to the suspicious black duffel bag or separate situation? It's hard to keep track of all this[/QUOTE] I believe so.

Package on top of a mailbox spotted now?

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;40295162]Was that connected to the suspicious black duffel bag or separate situation? It's hard to keep track of all this[/QUOTE] Separate. EOD cleared both the truck and the duffle.

[QUOTE=archangel125;40295136]It's like some people are getting off on the gore.[/QUOTE] I found it highlighted how bad the incident was. It didn't really hit me till I saw the effects.

Homeland security just said it was a "coordinated event"

[QUOTE=Cushie;40295120]Worse angle of this: [url=http://i.huffpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/292101/slide_292101_2340784_free.jpg?1366062186000]NSFW[/url][/quote] Shit, is that guy holding / pinching an artery or something?

"Saudi national seen acting suspiciously near the explosion" like..what

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;40295201]I found it highlighted how bad the incident was. It didn't really hit me till I saw the effects.[/QUOTE] Agreed. 9/11 never really hit me until I saw the video of the guy plummeting out of one of the towers instead of burning to death.

[QUOTE=tom1029;40295203]Shit, is that guy holding / pinching an artery or something?[/QUOTE] Looks like it.

This is all just ridiculous

I remember seeing a car bomb go off in Columbo years ago. Shit was so surreal. Luckily it was only a assassination attempt, but two people still died.

[QUOTE=tom1029;40295203]Shit, is that guy holding / pinching an artery or something?[/QUOTE] Could be a tourniquet to help stop blood loss. At least, I hope it is.

[QUOTE=H4wkeye;40295202]Homeland security just said it was a "coordinated event"[/QUOTE] To which I respond with, "No shit".

[QUOTE=Soup Nazi;40295178]Waiting for Fox News to blame this on violent vidya gaems.[/QUOTE] Waiting for people to think before they post.

Not exactly the most sensitive thread title...

[QUOTE=Blazyd;40295209]"Saudi national seen acting suspiciously near the explosion" like..what[/QUOTE] Confirmed to be bullshit by a shitty tabloid seeking attention. There are a dozen Arab countries in the world, how the hell does one tell it was specifically one from Saudi Arabia just by "suspicious looks" anyway?

Jesus christ almighty, this is heart-wrenchingly tragic. Thoughts & prayers go out to the victims and all those affected.

Any updates on that guy who was cuffed and bagged?

[QUOTE=cs_bunny;40295223]Could be a tourniquet to help stop blood loss. At least, I hope it is.[/QUOTE] one of them probably has some form of EMT training, they stopped his bleeding with improvised tourniquets

Scanner guy says Boston College has 400-500 runners

[QUOTE=cs_bunny;40295223]Could be a tourniquet to help stop blood loss. At least, I hope it is.[/QUOTE] Nah, it's an artery. You can clearly see it going up into what's left of the guy's leg, not to the surface.
