The internet? Not particularly.

If you think about it, media members probably shot a good portion of these but they were deemed too "insensitive" to show on news outlets. The imaginary line of what's decent or not is created by media outlets.

I've gathered that the site is run by someone from a foreign country, and many of the members are foreign as well. If you have the stomach to view some of the other nasty shit on there...you'll see from the comments they hate Americans and more specifically our military.

If I ever travel to Europe, I'm telling everyone I'm Canadian. I already kinda sound like one being originally from Wisconsin.

more than likely this seems domestic to me possibly even someone with ties to boston. more experienced terrorists would have made better bombs that were more lethal?? april 15 is also tax day?? idk. i do kinda feel bad for the saudi guy who got jumped just for being a muslim. these pressure cooker bombs seem really easy to make and even harder to stop i hope this is not a sign of things to come.

The playing field for terrorist just got larger… sporting events, malls and wedding just like their country of market places, wedding and communiity gathering locations.
Terrorist foreign or domestic, delusional individual and mentally ill individual have now been giving a new venue for violence against innocent people. Violence can’t be prevented with gun bill agenda, new laws, restrictions of American rights … the prevention of terrorist violence and senseless murders start with the society that can protect itself, address the issues without the political correctness bullshit, get involved without fear of legal retribution, Government enforcing the present laws and getting back to basic set forth in our Constitution. Political agenda that continues to try to control the law biding citizen and fails to address past failure of Senatorial and Congressional legislation (immigration, boarder security, visa status and hate / special groups investigation) will only provide terrorist type individual additional opportunities for more violence.

Counter-terrorism experts have known this for years.
Since 9/11, sporting events have always been a big red flag.
Hell, I did a paper at OSU back in 2004 on security aspects for terrorist events at football stadiums for one of my CT classes.

And, you can go way back in terrorism, sporting events have been linked to terror, 1972 Munich, and even in literature, Tom Clancy Sum of All Fears.
So, this is nothing new.
Only now the U.S. is catching up to what the rest of the world already knows.

That was my first thought on seeing the images and videos, that this stuff happens in Israel all the time. I was 4 miles away from a suicide bomb going off when I was there.

How do they cope? They don't live in fear.

Sorry but the pictures on 4 chan are dumb. In the picture they say the backpacks seem to be missing you can see the shoulder strap of the backpack on the guy in blue.

Ya, the link with the "backpack seems to be missing" doesn't seem like it's actually missing. It's hard to tell since his backpack he's shown with originally is black straps against a black jacket, but the picture of hte bomb shows black straps with blue in the middle.

The other set of backpack pictures with the guy just holding it in his arms seems to be more of a match.

And as far as the WBC... their message is truly awful and I don't know how anyone who claims to be a Christian can harbor such hate.

They do have a 1st amendment right to speech, and the government shouldn't stifle it. But I have no problem with our citizens letting them know that their view and message, particularly how and where they express it, is unwelcome.

If you're asking why she was at both, that's because I believe there was a section for people involved with the Newton shooting at the finish line.

But beyond that I don't know what your trying to suggest as all I see is her picture with two captions then some black above and below that.

Except the fact that she supposably died in the CT shooting.
