Insane... Bad day to be a marathon runner... Possible bombing

[mike rousseau]

I have family that ran the marathon.... She was only about a mile away when the explosion occurred...

 

Very scary day

[jedimaster]

Two of my cousins run marathons in the states but both missed this year. Was happy to hear them both checking in. Good news for your family Mike.

If it was in fact an attack and regardless of whether it was carried out by dissidents or foreign I think it might be time to bring back public executions. Eye for an eye instead of this hug a thug and throw them back into society bulls#!t. Hope of a kinder gentler world is becoming a scarce commodity. As blessed as we are to live in this part of the world it saddens me to know that I will have to one day have to leave my children behind.

[Sinker]

I'm with ya moxie. Whack 'em! Nobody who could do something like that deserves to live.

 

That may sound harsh, but just imagine if it was your mother, father, brother, sister that was just killed by these pieces of garbage!

 

Get rid of them. They won't be missed.

A kinder gentler world via public execution? Sounds like a brilliant idea there Chief. Nothing quite like a good old fashioned hanging or be-heading to warm the heart.

[BillM]

Public execution? You guys have been drinking right?

Public execution? You guys have been drinking right?

I have no problem with leaving those perpetrating terrorism, or treason, swinging from the gibbet for all to see.

I'm sure the kids would love that.

[Sinker]

You'd rather these types walk?

 

Maybe that's what kids are missing nowadays?

I would hope this is just hyperbole.

[Sinker]

What's your suggestion, Grimace? I'm open minded. Maybe public execution IS a little harsh, but it would sure get some attention!

 

Eye for an eye works for me.

No one wants them to 'walk'. You are being very disingenuous with that type of argument. If you want to have a reasonable discussion on the matter, then you must proceed with at least a little bit of intellectual honesty. Giving choices of one extreme or the other is, for a lack of a better word, dumb.....

[Grimace]

It would get some attention alright. I know a few places where public executions take place all the time. The same places where terrorism is rampant and theocratic fascism is king. I can not even believe that I am entertaining this argument.

 

Be honest just for a few seconds, do you want to live in a society where you gather around the town square and watch the executions with your family? Give your head a shake....

[Sinker]

Ok, so public execution was the wrong way to put it. That, I will agree with.

 

Maybe execution was more suited to what I was thinking. I'd have no issues with that whatsoever.

Well the Boston pd knows something. They just executed a search warrant in Revere

[Rich]

Public execution? You guys have been drinking right?

No kidding.

 

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. That's just as sick as the original crime.

[lew]

Watching the news this morning and their talking about the 8 year old boy that was killed. Their saying now that his mother is in grave condition with a brain injury and his 6 year old sister had her leg blown off.

[jedimaster]

And they were there to watch there father cross the finish line.

[NAW]

That's horrific.

 

Just Brutal!

[ctranter]

This false dichotomy is rediculous. Public executions vs. "letting them walk",?? I seriously doubt some of you have anything past an eight grade education.

 

Let reason prevail. Let the invesigators investigate. Save the fear-mongering and speculation for a forum that endorses that kind of tripe. Some of what has been said here makes me sick.

[doubleheader]

Yes it's a crazy sad world, and I'll continue to send my prayers to all those who have been killed or injured and their families. Hopefully the authorties will get to the bottom of this and bring them to justice. Sad day in the States.

[davey buoy]

Innocent kid,bystanders,what else should they do if they are caught? Should the taxpayers of the States have to foot the bill for long term prison time?

Will be interesting what happens going forward.

[Sinker]

Let reason prevail? Its bleeding hearts like you that think these people deserve rights.

 

Someone set a bomb, with the intention of killing innocent, harmless people. Women and children!! So far we have an 8 year old boy dead, his mother seriously injured, and his sister with her leg blown off......and you want to talk reasoning??

 

Give Your head a shake.

 

The person that did this deserves far worse than a simple execution. I know there are many others that agree, but won't write it here. Speak up. Its coculd be your mother, son, or daughter next!

 

You call this fear mongering?? Innocent people were slaughtered for no reason! If you don't fear that, dare I ask what you do fear?

Thank you. I knew I'd catch a at least one Lib. There cannot be an intelligent conversation with a Lib cause they always think their way is the only way.
