Terrible thing to happen and to do to someone else.

Bombs don't kill people, people kill people.

Takes the heat off Islam for a change. I'm picking it'll be an American loner with a grudge against something.

[Road kill]

I'm printing some "I survived the Boston marathon" Tee shirts.
Get your order in early these things are going to fly out the door.

In the mean time there were 30 bombings in Bagdad today.
50 killed and around 500 injured,,,but lets talk about Boston huh.

Oh yeah,,another 1000 chicken shits ran away from south Africa today,,,soon to arrive at a Browns bay near you.

almost as epic as when i was in auckland and going to sell "i survived the tsunami" shirts. (with associated fundraising - fold up table and cardboard signs that noone reads.)

what the fuck is up with that shit. it makes me want to run them over even more...i hope cyclists don't catch on to it. i wouldn't be able to contain myself.

Try going there and see for yourself what it's like. You'll drop the tough guy attitude pretty quickly after some kaffir pops a cap in your ass or sticks you with a blade.

PS. Do all of us a favour and get rid of that comma key on your keyboard.

Awful as this unexpected tragedy is, we tend to forget that bombing for political causes is not new. In fact it dates from the 1850s anarchy movement in Europe which spread to the United States.

• 1881: the assassination of Russian Tsar Alexander II, by the group Narodnaya Volya
• 1894: the assassination of the French president Marie-Francois Sadi Carnot
• 1894: Bombing of Greenwich Observatory in London
• 1901: the assassination of American president William McKinley in September 1901, by an anarchist, Leon Czolgo

Since the end of WWII civil life has been peaceful in most developed nations so we are of a generation which has not known violent activism. It comes as a shock.

Actually i think we have lived in a world full of violent activism for a long time.
Its just when it reaches the Western World does it become something more in our minds.
How often is there a small 15 second blurb in the news about a car bombing in the Middle East?
I think a lot of it is the "us against them" mentality. Muslims and Jews throwing missiles around taking each other out is normal right? and they are our enemy right? they must be since the look different and talk different.

The media is the system.

Bombings and shit like that are a normal, every day occurence in Snackbaristan, so that's why they don't always make mainstream media.

Muslims vs Jews has been happening for a very long time, and it's not going to change any time soon. Allahu snackbar.
