Boston Marathon

Fox News is reporting that the older brother was previously questioned by the FBI in 2010. Looks like they have found the younger brother hiding in a boat in a back yard in Watertown.
They had umass Dartmouth on lock down today also, black hawk helicopters flying around this afternoon. And 3 people arrested in New Bedford with relation to the case. Job well done boys :thumb:
Its not really all over. The cell is big and disbanded temporarily. We got the drop guys that's all
Just a wild idea, but hypothetically I would think that if gun laws got severly tight, more of the people who would just off themselves in their basement would now resort to suicide bombings. Especially since the media attention is so high. I mean no disrespect to anyone working in boston or dealing with the tragedy, its heartbreaking, but the amount of media coverage for what I would call a small tragedy compared to others in history, is astounding.
I always compare it to bullying. If you get picked on and get riled up and defensive they will keep doing it. Say you rode the big girl in high school, the one whos a lot of fun but you dont want your buddies to find out. They eventually do and keep harassing you about it, you respond to it every time and they continue because its fun to them, they get your attention. Now if you just smile back, or say yeah I did and I liked it, now what? They are stunned in their tracks with nothing to say and life goes back to normal.
I do not know what goes on inside these peoples heads, but something as public as the Boston marathon you would sure think the person is going for the attention. I think it should be covered for a day, then later on follow up with the final fatality/injury count and the progress on the investigation. We live in a world where everything is now now now. The only thing the media accomplishes by updating every 30 minutes is misinformation and confusion. Just wait till the facts are out, then report. The whole time you cover it live they guy who did it is getting off over it. If you only give him 10 minutes of fame during the nightly news he's gonna be pissed and realize it wasn't worth it.
just my thoughts.
I would agree with this, be it reality TV or mass shootings, they just want attention and fame at whatever cost. really the only difference is reality TV stars will do anything outrageous to keep people tuning in, while these people are a whole level up sick in the head and will take out innocent people just to get their fame
I don't think anyone should ever even mention the names of the pieces of garbage who kill innocent people. Don't give them any recognition for what they did.
