    My veins were too recently sucked dry to contribute today, but blood is always needed, and particularly on a day like today.

    Alex Jones can go fuck himself, and I really wish there'd come a point in time where he didn't use up oxygen that better people deserve.

    Who?

    Exactly.

    First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!

    Remember guys, at this point on 9/11 we were being told there was machine gun fire and explosions on Capitol Hill, and a bomb had been found in the Sears Tower.

    The 'controlled explosion' seem legit, but we don't know if they just blew up someone's gym bag, or if it was an actual device.

    I've got to buckle down before I head home, but stay safe.

    Yeah. Like a Claymore Mine.

    although on the "unreliable info" front, the reports of ball bearings was from people who said they were hit by ball bearings

    and there's a lot of ways that piece of information can be inaccurate when it trickles down to us.

    keep in mind even an accidental explosion will still throw out shrapnel

    For the next while bound to hear a lot of conflicting reports, always happens in these cases so take anything you hear with a grain of salt until the truth comes out.

    Let's take what Fox News is reporting with a little bit of skepticism.

    Why?

    Fox News' awful credibility for news aside, nobody is a higher source of accuracy right now except for statements from officials on the ground, and photo/video evidence.

    Fox is no better than MSNBC than the Post than whomever. This is the worst thing; a media scrambling over themselves to be not the most accurate, but the first.

    Fox News is easily the most sensationalist news outlet in this country. They don't get to smear shit all over themselves in peace time and then try to be counted among the rest of the journalists when something happens.

    Fuck Fox News, they showed a guy with his leg blown off for christ's sake.

    As opposed to those nice bombs which are only kinda made to hurt people? Any type of bombing is disgusting.

    This is disgusting.

    I hope it helps the injured that medical personnel were there almost immediately! Really hope the list of casualties turns out to be as small as possible, looked like a large blast. :(

    I know people in Boston that I hope to god were not nearby.

    CNN is constantly showing the explosion footage, then zooming in ominously on the explosion itself.

    I am not validating their standard routine.

    I am simply stating that there isn't a single major news outlet in America doing the right thing right now.

    MSNBC on right now with other analysts who are talking about their past experience with stuff like this. Making guesses that it may be an IED based upon what they have heard.

    My heart goes out to the people out there right now, I hope my Bostonian friends are okay... but the media is fucking bananas right now.

    Obviously, but something about intentionally trying to mame runners seems extra sick. Like you are literally trying to take more than their life or health, you are trying to take their identity. I am so disgusted and sick right now.

    worse than that- the folks passing at that time would have been the funsie runners. the folks doing it for charity. Not the pros.

    If they were struck by ball bearings they wouldn't be saying much of anything

    They also would have no idea what hit them

    Massachusetts General Hospital (my best friend works there and it's pretty close) is taking the injured and expects to have more coming in. So that's delightful.

    The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.

    They just reported the JFK library fire was mechanical, and not related, so that's good at least.
