Two explosions at Boston marathon finish line

[4king]

I have a feeling i am going to be a hero some day. I keep feeling like my life is forever, whatever movie that is, with the guy trying to start the slow clap. I put out a microwave fire at the local 7-11 the other day, and i thought it was gonna be my shining moment, but nothing happened, i hope it doesnt get too much more dramatic than that though.

What the fuck did I just read. This has scarred my brain that you call yourself a hero for butting out a burrito at a seven eleven

There should be an exploration everytime someone walks in the library.

If you meant explosion, then yes, I've seen it mentioned a few times now.

Lol damn iPad autocorrect. Okay

Rodney, shut the fuck up for Christs sake. Jesus.


Didn't we just make it easier for Saudis to get in the country?

There were talks about it. I don't recall if it got pushed through or not.

Sad sad....

Cell service has been discontinued to possibly prevent more explosions.

Yes the DHS did.

Saudis bomb WTC
We create Department of Homeland Security in response
Department of Homeland security makes it easier for Saudis to get in the country

Wow. Just watched a new video that has the camera 50-75 feet away from the first explosion, then the second explosion happens. Heart wrenching.

That poor man.

Now they are saying there was no explosion at the library. It was a mechanical fire.

Post by Patton Oswalt. He has a good point... though it's hard to see sometimes in the middle of the shit.

Boston. Fucking horrible.

I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, "Well, I've had it with humanity."

But I was wrong. I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.

But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness.

But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.

So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, "The good outnumber you, and we always will."

Jesus... What the fuck is this world anymore

Wow. That dude must've been pretty close. Shock has him looking fairly cognizant.
