Explosions at the Boston Marathon 15 April 2013

[ronthenekred]

You know as well as I do that isn't going to happen..I watched in pity more than anything else as the surgeon was interviewed eaten alive with consistent questions about the severity of lower limb trauma in what can only be described as extreme voyeurism..I've never seen a chap so under pressure and uncomfortable. The parents of that child will have NBC/CNN and Fox camped out on their lawn.

 

Next will be film rights.

 

On reflection that might not have been such a bad outcome..it would indicate that at least some of his family would be at home..sadly it seem all his family were victims.

My wife and family became Bostonians yesterday just as we became New Yorkers on 9/11

May the culprit/culprits be caught soon and dealt with according to the law

Not being daft here but you could get a shed load of wearable explosives under one of them daft football mascot animal suits.

Which was the plot of the 2010 film Four Lions

 

This causes a row among the remaining four, who disband; but they reconcile, and Omar decides to target the upcoming London Marathon.

 

Wearing mascot costumes to conceal their explosives—Omar as the Honey Monster; Waj as a man riding an ostrich; Barry as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle; and Hassan as an inverted clown

...but to put it into perspective innocent children in their thousands are being murdered by the same type of device daily yet the press seem to take no or little interest.

The Children Killed by America’s Drones

 

And U.S. daily gun deaths dwarf this Boston tragedy

 

87 Gun Deaths a Day

87 deaths a day? What a load of pillocks. But look at the crappy news rag you dredged that up from and it's not surprising

 

As for the deaths of children by drones... well that's tragic but the blame has to be placed on the cowards who hide behind these kids and their mothers

Really? Do they fire the missiles at themselves then?

You've read wrong. 3 dead, 170+ injured.

Its lucky for BBC and Sky that this happened because there is absolutely no news anywhere else in the world other than this and Thatchers funeral.

 

Oh, aside from an earthquake in Iran and Pakistan that has killed and injured more.

 

A bomb blast in Bangalore.

 

Demonstrations in Venezuela leaving 7 dead and hundreds injured.

 

Go onto the BBC News website and there's no official link to the Iran earthquake, just a mention in the "most shared" section.

One can understand the disbelief of the citizens of Boston, ordinary people going about their daily family business.

 

The mainstream media are milking it for all it is worth, speculating and such making it the most important thing since the revival of Thatcher, and her symbolic resurrection.

 

But hold on, the USA is killing civilians daily in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other places, deciding who is to be blasted into posterity, under the judgement of suspicion. People are in effect being made to live in daily terror, frightened not knowing if they might suddenly become the chosen ones. The evidence over the years suggests very poor intelligence, and thus more random, generating fear and loathing. Is it acceptable to torture people, on the basis they might provide information globally, as well as invading countries, arming groups to overthrow their governments, which were considered friendly till the revised decision was created?

 

Iraq, Libya, and now Syria are having their superstructure either destroyed or have been destroyed, all for gains control of their resources, for corporate interests.

 

Thus to me personally, we have a global bully, who with impunity creates suffering and death on an unprecedented scale, having what is in comparison to the crippling effects they create, a minor scratch. Like all bullies, the world has to stop while the bully wails, and complains, regarding their personal condition paramount, and unjust, while forgetting the carnage they practice daily abroad.

 

The British mainstream media fawns over what in the bigger picture is a minor incident, while bombs go off daily in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria killing civilians in the hundreds. This could be construed as proof of racism, seeing “the other “ as inferiors. The hierocracy is almost mind numbing!
