Re: Bomb explosions at Boston Marathon kill 3
Dreadful Sue. My sympathies are with all the families of those who died and were injured.I must agree with Meg -'We all have the ability to imagine what it must have been like and this just gives an added moment of triumph to any would be terrorists or perpetrators'

Re: Bomb explosions at Boston Marathon kill 3
Absolutely agree with your post Karen - the media should have more respect and it does pander to the sickos that did this terrible act.We watched a docu on several murders in Texas of young girls - all 'dumped' in the same large area..which has been named 'the killing fields' They have recently made a movie of the murders - only 1 man has ever been caught and tried - as some were copycat murders. I was sickened by the approach of the programme and by the recent film being made... I wonder how the families feel - and if, their permission was sought for the film 'The killing fields'....

I remember at the time of the Oklahoma bombing, there was limited sympathy from some quarters because it was felt that the Americans were simply getting a taste of their own medicine.I should not be surprized that this atrocity was the work of some mad, disgruntled US citizen, rather than a foreign terrorist.

Also - what is the point of bombing innocent people? What is it supposed to achieve? What have ordinary people on the street ever done and what is it that terrorists expect them to be able to do that they see them as targets?
Sometimes, I feel I'm missing a few pieces of this particular jigsaw.

Re: Bomb explosions at Boston Marathon kill 3
What do you think of this quote? It's being circulated following the bombs in Boston."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." - Patton Oswalt
