I was amazed while watching the video of the bomb going off, half the people took off in the opposite direction, but half of the people immediately turned and headed TOWARDS the explosion to help.

"Boston. Fucking horrible.

I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, "Well, I've had it with humanity."

But I was wrong. I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.

But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness.

But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.

So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, "The good outnumber you, and we always will."

- Patton Oswalt.

In a way I wish there was a way to withhold info until all is understood. First they reported a Saudi national was in custody, and now the police say nobody is.

I've lost respect for him.

Big props to people who helped out immediately. Hopefully everyone in hospital can make a quick recovery. And hopefully the doctors are able to save some limbs.

The thing that will help a lot of the people survive or stabilize better is the fact that there were first responders already there within the same block. The victims could be treated immediately and stabilized before going to a hospital. Those first few moments really count.

Well, this is Martin Walkyier we're talking about here, so... trying to decipher his coded message can be hard at times. That said, here was his reply to people accusing him of applauding U.S. deaths...


"Two fucking pointless wars, how many 10's of thousands's dead - how many lives has America wasted - Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afgthanistan? Oh dear me = genocide! Love on ya all! Martin xxx".

Boston to Deploy Mass-Casualty Tablet Device During Marathon

PRESS RELEASE
CREATED: APRIL 12, 2013

Boston EMS is deploying a new, off-the-shelf, lightweight mobile device for the first time at the Boston Marathon on April 15.

The platform, from SafetyPAD, is intended for use in mass-casualty situations gives EMS personnel the ability to carry into crowds and assess a patient upon arrival, document in realtime, transmit data to transport units before they arrive, and other features.

Boston EMS will utilize the new Android-based program for bike and gator teams along race route.


Lucky timing.

Some lamebrain has stated since this race was to honor Sandy Hook Elementary where 26 people died and the race was 26.2 mile long there is an "obvious" connection in the motives.

Why do I bother to even pay attention to the news? :lol

He's not, he's actually well respected for his lyric-writing prowess and his intellect. I've been a fan of his for 3 decades and this statement goes against everything he's ever said in the past. It's like it wasn't him writing. Some on his Facebook page said he had to have been about 10 beers into a drunken night. It's all bizarre.

Well you can be a great wordsmith and still be a dumb bastard at the same time. :P Alcohol is just truth serum, right? Mouthing off about how stupid or pointless the US's foreign policy might be doesn't change the fact that the Boston marathon is an international event the people maimed and killed had nothing to do with what he's saying. He should take a look at his own country some time, surely terrorists think the same of the English as London has seen its share of bombings in the recent past.

Some of the people hurt/killed could have been Skyclad fans but fuck if he couldn't care less about them or their families in his rush to condemn the US with a broad brushstroke.
