Apparently the race - or some part of it - was dedicated to the Newtown families. Many of whom were standing at the finish line.
Jesus. I can't even.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

I almost wish I could be shocked anymore. Now, it's just a resigned, "So that's something that's happening now. Stupid fuckers."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Police are reportedly finding secondary devices. Y'all please be safe.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At least there will have been lots of first responders at the scene.
Yup, and the medical tent, etc. And, as the local news just told me, "many of the best hospitals in the world, just miles away." Because we have to continue to represent for Boston.

It's so creepy looking at the photos/video -- that's three blocks from where I used to live.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Now getting gruesome first-hand accounts of hair on fire, severed limbs, battlefield scene in front of Charlesmark Hotel.
