Man, I love the current V8 crew.

Quote from Gougoodthing :

He was in the crowd, I'm guessing? How close was he to the bomb/do you know if he saw the suspect guys before the bomb went off?

I guess he did, yeah.

Quote from Gougoodthing :

Wow.... How is he now?

Pretty shitty! But all things considered, I suppose he's doing quite well. They're hopeful for a pretty quick recovery and it seems like prosthetics are in the cards.

Leave it to Racer X to believe any random bullshit posted on somebody's blog, though...

Those are clearly different people.

Also, I know the guy in the second photo (friend of a friend) and he has never served in any branch of the armed forces.

Your Name: Ben Keough
Your LFS Username: DeadWolfBones

Great race again, great win by Taku (finally).

Really fun race.

Quote from flymike91 :

The people cheering at the finish line who are now casualties of a cause they had never heard of had nothing to do with foreign conflicts or easing religious tensions. These two men were given everything by this country but became radical muslims abroad. We allowed them to come here and start a new and better life out of mercy, and this is how we all are repaid for our collective graciousness. There is no one more guilty of causing conflict and fostering hatred than terrorists. Don't blame this on the victims to appeal to your own prejudices about American people. We did good by these brothers, and it was a horrific mistake.

There's no proof of any of this yet. Let our justice process do its business before you come to final conclusions.

Can't believe Rosberg didn't get a penalty for that block on Hulkenberg. Maybe there was some context we didn't see, though.

Quote from BlueFlame :

If there are bombs of questionable existence why would you wanna kill the only people who know about them?

They went to great lengths to capture this second guy alive, so I'm not sure what you mean.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

The depressing part is that the US government actually said "nope, rights need not apply" which in a fair and democratic society is bogus and not unlike the dictatorships that the USA fought to dissolve in the Middle East.

I'm not really comfortable with this national security exemption either, but it does make a certain amount of sense. It's important to know asap whether there are more unexploded devices out there, or other bombers still to be captured. As I understand it, the exemption lasts for a max of 48 hours and then the suspect must be mirandized.

Well, he apparently spent most of that time bleeding in a boat, so...

Suspect in custody, alive.

Nevertheless...

Quote from Boris Lozac :

I agree that a lot of things makes no sense.. They're saying over and over again that the policeman had been killed in MIT, but not saying his name the whole day..

His name has been out there from the get-go. It's Sean Collier.

Speedtv.com even has an article about how he's the brother of one of Jimmie Johnson's crew members. http://nascar.speedtv.com/arti ... -boston-marathon-tragedy/

Quote from Krane :

I reiterate, "World; Meh", still, I have to say, from what I read from the mainstream news, I would've thought the results above would've been in favour of Boston's events 1000x fold.


Clarification, this is in no way meant to disrespect any one who has had personal tragedy related to Boston events, but to every one else thinking 3 people killed and 183 injured (src) is the worst thing to happen since, say, The 2004 Boxing Day tsunami. And I'm not condoning any of this, if it would've prevented the explosions, I would've shot the ****ers in the face myself.




.

Surely you can understand that a standalone, attention-grabbing event like the Boston bombing—particularly because it comes in a place and at an event where it's not expected/common—will get more coverage than an ongoing, generalized issue like "child mortality." Same with rocket attacks in the middle east, etc. When they happen on a routine basis, people get desensitized to it, and it takes a bigger calamity to get it back on the front page.

It's not exactly rocket science.
