Boston Marathon Bomb Attack?!?!?

[Lord Jim]

Hopefully not as in "Bottled In Bond"...

[Big RR]

Well, in the spirit of the season:

Adam lay ybounden, bounden in a bond,
Four thousand winter thoughte he not too long;
And al was for an apple, and apple that he took,
As clerkes finden, writen in theire book.
Ne hadde the apple taken been, the apple taken been,
Ne hadde nevere Oure Lady ybeen hevene Queen.
Blessed be the time that apple taken was:
Therfore we mown singen Deo Gratias.

I guess Adam's Bond was the apple?

[MajGenl.Meade]

And back to the OP, Lib, are you saying that any breaking of an oath will involve a "loss of hone"

Are you saying lib is dull?

[oldr_n_wsr]

No, as in Bond, James Bond.

Two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon race have left an unknown number of people injured.

Video and photographs from Boston show a scene of confusion, with emergency services descending on the scene and bloodied spectators being taken to a medical tent.

"There are a lot of people down," said one runner quoted by AP news agency.

The incident reportedly came about three hours after the winners crossed the line.

"There was an explosion, police, fire and EMS are on the scene. We have no indication of how many people are injured," spokeswoman for the Boston Police Department said.

AP said there was a loud explosion on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the bridge that marks the finish line. Another loud explosion could be heard a few seconds later.

Mike Mitchell of Vancouver, Canada, a runner who had finished the race said he was looking back at the finish line and saw a "massive explosion."

Smoke rose 50ft (15m) in the air, he told Reuters news agency, and people began running away and screaming after hearing the noise.

"Everybody freaked out," he said.

Stragglers heading for the finish line were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts as the scene was locked down.

The Eastern Massachusetts branch of the Red Cross has set up a disaster response centre in the area.

Attorney General Eric Holder today released the following statement regarding the case of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev:

“After consideration of the relevant facts, the applicable regulations and the submissions made by the defendant’s counsel, I have determined that the United States will seek the death penalty in this matter. The nature of the conduct at issue and the resultant harm compel this decision.”

[Gob]

Good.

[Lord Jim]

Heard about this earlier today...

For those who say, "all the news is bad", I submit this news as evidence against that thesis....

[Joe Guy]

But but but but but....

Who are we to play God?

Sure he was responsible for three deaths and 264 injuries - including one person who lost his legs and others who lost body parts - that he would have preferred to have died from the explosion... but....but...

Dzhokhar is a young misguided half Chechen and could be rehabilitated by our prison system.

Realistically, life in prison is the same as death. He deserves to live.

actually I wish he would be disemboweled and publically forced to drink some drano until he dies and then have his head amputated, propped up on a stick for a week and then allow the public to practice shooting and knife throwing at it

Why did you feel the need to conceal this in such small type? Surely you aren't afraid to let anyone know how you really feel.

[Crackpot]

modesty

[Guinevere]

I'll say it. It was horrific. He is a monster. He attacked me home and my friends. I believe he can't and won't be rehabilitated.

But no death penalty. Through him away in the deepest darkest jail cell there is and lose the key.

A sop to the claque.

Unfortunately...he will get out if not executed.

[Scooter]

Why, who is he, Houdini? There are people who have been in prison for 40 years or longer for murders they have committed and they are never getting out. Why would you assume this one would?

[Jarlaxle]

Because in forty years or so...he will eventually be paroled. Hell, MANSON is eligible for parole!

[Scooter]

Being technically eligible for parole, and actually having a snowball's chance in hell of seeing daylight again, are two vastly different things.

Agreed, although with appropriate modifications to spelling.

Exactly. And if there is a good reason why he should ever regain his freedom, he should have the opportunity to present it. A lot can change in 40 or 50 years.

[Jarlaxle]

Not enough. Shoot the fucker...though having him crucified on Boston Common (or Copley Square) would work fine.

Yeah yeah yeah, everyone's a critic. It was early. I was on my phone without my granny glasses. My swede, oh, right, nevermind You all got the gist of what I was attempting to communicate . . .
