My sister in law ran this year and we haven't been able to reach her. Her projected time was about 15 min less than when the bomb went off so that's kinda good news... Thoughts and prayers...hopefully she is ok

Now they are reporting an eight year old was killed. How terrible. I don't under stand why people do this sort of thing. Duff let us know when you hear from your sister-in-law. My husband has a coworker whose husband was running the marathon. I had texted him about the bombing, but he didn't see my text until a couple hours later and he said she must not have known about it since she was acting normal at work when he left.

All is well. She ran about five faster than she expected and was long gone.

Nothing funny or worth derping about in any of this. Serious stuff and indications are a Saudi national MAY be involved. But too early to say for sure. If you believe in something bigger than yourself, pray for the care and well being of the injured and extend sympathies to friends and family of those killed or seriously wounded. Also pray for Boston, America and its leaders at a perilous time. Look bub, I listened to Deval Patrick (Mass Gov), Chief of Boston PD, FBI agent on scene/in charge, and POTUS. Not ONE of them said anything about having knowledge of any suspect(-s), let alone stating anything about a "Saudi national". As you said, let's not derp. ktks

Westboro saying some awesome (sarcasm) things on twitter.
The fact that there are people like that in the world is frightening. Absolutely frightening.

MeanDrunk, I know the right-wing butthurt brigade is on your case in teh Nayshun, but I have to say, your "That's why I'm never running a marathon" comment helped me through the day. Honestly and sincerely, I was a tense mess before I read that, and afterwards, I loosened up. I won't even give you a hard time for stealing it from Fark

I did "laugh out loud" when I read that...but maybe it's BECAUSE MD said it. Made me think of the Russian porn comment...that led to one of the swiftest bannings ever!

I don't think MD's joke was at anyone's expense. I don't think he was making lite of the situation. It's a random, pointless joke at the expense of a random, senseless act. Also, it was hilarious.

Nothing about a Saudi National, OR a Homegrown Fringe attack, regardless of what certain people "feel" or "think" happened...... Can people stop the political flavored gut-feeling bullshit for one fucking day?

Ghostholio. I stole that line from nowhere. It came from my own warped and twisted head. Just like the 26.1 comment to some tool in the ot on the nashon. Yes. Its sad that this horrific thing happened. But hell if the terrorists fuck with my sense of humor. We're fucked

Pretty cool to see...its sad that the world is so fucked up that the 1st thing I thought of when I saw this was to worry that some assholes would use this information to rob the shit out of some of those people

Setting off bombs to kill innocents requires a depth of craven cowardice beyond my comprehension. And the worst thing is that if you look around the globe on any given day, the shit is almost routine. I think the longevity of the human species is a very open question. I don't know if the human brain can out-evolve our depravity. It shall be a fierce competition.

This kind of image is the silver lining to events like this. It's good to know that for the most part, your fellow man has your back and in most instances will help in times of dire need.
