Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Has any other source confirmed the NY Post's report of 12 dead?
The only official number form the Boston PD I've seen is 2 dead.
But I'm sure it's going to go up.
wrod...
My God, you guys. This is awful. I'm so sorry, and you're in my thoughts.
I was thinking domestic wingnut. Can't say why, really.
My first thought too. Patriot's day + race dedicated to Newtown + tax day + gun control debate currently going on... but I'm also trying really hard not to spin up the speculation machine until there's real information.
Is it the anniversary of the VA Tech shooting?
April 16, 2007, so more or less. The holiday is always the Monday.
I was thinking that because of Sandy Hook people being there.
Something Something Gun Control? I wonder.
Domestic wingnut here, too. Boston marathon seems so local, you know? Al Qaeda thinks subways, not Patriot's Day. It's barely an event that gets national coverage.
Domestic wingnut or international terrorists doesn't matter right now. I find speculation on which flavor terrorism isn't good for my mental space, or my stomach. Ack! And later when we know for sure who it was? That's not gonna be any better.
Would some idiot(s) really want to use the Boston Marathon on tax day to make a statement?
It's Patriot's Day too, right?
Whoever it was, they did like to stack up the symbolism.
