Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

Well, when people don't hold the media accountable, the media won't be accountable. They won't hold anyone accountable, nor will they hold their peers accountable. They'll act belligerent and they'll mislead and they'll say all sorts of stupid, incorrect ****. And they'll bury things and they'll overexpose others.

But hey, these are the times.

MIT says there is an active shooter on campus. Can Boston just get a break?

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

MIT Officer was shot twice (hand and belly, it seems) and was transported to Mass General Hospital. No information on any suspect.

Doesn't seem related at all, but still...Boston is going crazy this week, apparently.

This is probably the worst week in the last few years. Marathon bombing, West, Tx explosion, now this? C'mon. They say the scene is active and extremely dangerous.

Yup - they have no idea what the shooter looked like or which direction he went. Could still be on campus. Dangerous situation.

Also, a 7/11 was robbed at gun-point in Boston and THAT guy is running loose as well.

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

I wonder if they tracked down the bomber and are in a shoot out with him.

Spoiler

This is going to be CNN's next breaking news story from an "inside source"

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

This picture makes my skin crawl. It shows the Richard family (and I'm presuming some of the other victims) in the foreground and suspect 2 in the background with a backpack at his feet.

Not to say this isnt real, but now that we have faces, expect the internet to produce lots and lots of pictures. And unfortunately, way way too many will be fake/photshopped.

Someone on CNN (don't remember who, but looked like an official) said its just a pistol which can only shoot about 50 yards. They have a corridor blocked off which they believe the gunman is in.

FBI just released a new photo of suspect #2 walking away after the bomb exploded. He does look the calmest out of everyone in that pic.

Its the same photo the FBI posted of the suspect but they darkened/blurred the faces of the victims.

You make a good point though.
