Terrible. Best wishes go out to the families and the injured.

I heard about it on TV. Here's a video i found of it:

Update on the bombing a Saudi national is involved, he is here on a student visa but it was revoked because they suspected he got involved with a terrorist cell, and the government was going to deport him because he's a member of a prominent Saudi family.....here's all the info

dafuq is up with this week

one bad thing after another. Hope everyone over there will be okay

Well thanks for the link. This has been one helluva week.

This week has been a mess, wtf is going down. This really sucks though...

Gotta love how disasters always come in 3's.Gah; I can't wait for this week to be over.

This is really tragic. What is happening with this week???

What the firetruck is with this week? One thing after another after another after another! 

This is so sad and sicking.

THE LOCAL NEWS: http://www1.whdh.com/video/7newslive

Please note: I am not advertising, simply linking to a better way to know what's going on with this news.

 

The mainstream media is a bit behind....

There's been the MIT shooting, as well as a (most likely related) shooting involving explosives and grenades over in Watertown which isn't too far away.... supposedly the guys who shot the officer stole a car, and ended up in this area....

 

I think they've apprehended one suspect?

I'm not in America but damn I feel sorry for anyone affected by everything that's gone on this week. Hopefully nothing happens while I'm visiting (getting flight to Texas on Sunday, staying two months)...

Unconfirmed but everything that has happened this night is rumored to be related to Monday.... nothing truly 100% yet.

Sometimes i just wonder if life is even worth living with all this chaos going around.

It's understandable, but don't think about that! Aside from some officers whose job it was to keep the public safe there wasn't really anyone hurt tonight (so far, however the situation isn't over at), and not only that but there has been a massive breakthrough tonight with a lot of the social media that unites the world together! If it wasn't for the officers that put their lives on the line, and honestly if it wasn't for that one officer who risk (and unfortunately lost) his life the shooters would have probably done something at MIT that would have been an even more tragic event than what has occurred.

 

Yeah, unfortunate things like this tend to happen more than any person would hope to, but that doesn't mean the world is as terrible of a place as the mainstream media may put it out to be. It's a fear tactic that is commonly used to stir the public.

 

Think of all the people that ran back towards the bombing sites when it happened on Monday and risked their lives knowing that there was a chance of more explosives. They didn't care, all they thought about was helping those who needed it. Look at all of the reporters who were on scene tonight that were sending live photos and summaries of the events going on so the public could actually know what was going on (which was more accurate than what CNN was dishing out) and those officers who were doing their best to keep civilians safe in the neighborhoods where the shooters were. Picture all of the people who rushed to give aid to the hospitals in Texas when the explosion happened last night, and those runners and volunteers who gave blood to the victims of the attacks on Monday.

 

Yes, there is a lot of bad going on in the world. There always is, but there is always and equal amount of good that goes on as well.

UPDATE: suspects discovered! Two brothers, suspect one: the older brother, age 26, is now dead. Suspect two: younger brother, age 19, ON THE RUN.

Merged the two threads together since they're all related.

I know who did it. It was Tamarlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. And guess what, they're Muslims.

Guess what they're also Russian. And GASP THEY LOOK WHITE WOW 

I hope you didn't make that "they're Muslims" comment as a subtle attack on Muslims as if they're all terrorists because that's just terrible and you should feel bad. 

 

Also, since no one has posted this so far, the brothers' family are from Chechnya which is a province near Russia where there are a LOT of Muslim radicals. I BELIEVE (don't quote me on this) that the family left because of the radicals and violence and wanted to avoid it and they family has refused to help the younger brother and have told him outright that he has brought shame to them and people of Chechnya.

Don't like who? The bombers? Understandable.

Don't like Muslims because they're "terrorists"? Gtfo.
