There are people on my Facebook friends list trying to use yesterday's tragedy as some kind of platform against gun control.. I can't even wrap my head around how that's your immediate reaction to something like this. How insensitive can you get?

One of the morning DJs in Knoxville brought the same thing up this morning using the logic that it showed that people who wanted to kill will kill regardless, so why limit what some can do. Dumbasses.

Speaking of morning DJ's, I didn't hear this but someone told me one of the talk shows was playing "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" in the background like it's supposed to be a rally song. You know, a rally song about a guy who's lost his leg...

This one is pretty much the unofficial Boston pride song. It's also played after every Red Sox (and I think Celtics and Bruins) win too.
We're just freaking weird over here or something. But damn it, I love this place.
This is plastered absolutely everywhere, but this week was the first time I'd seen it. A genuinely wonderful quote from Mr. Rogers on the subject of tragedies. Here's hoping it's the first time at least one person has seen this.
"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of 'disaster,' I remember my mother's words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers -- so many caring people in this world."
Did Anonymous really hack the Westboro Baptist Church FB page?
Look at the page. It was started in December 2012 and has been posting Anonymous related stuff since at least the beginning of March. I think someone just made it to be funny since Westboro didn't have one already.

So now they have them.... Last night they killed an MIT cop, hijacked a car, robbed a 7/11, and then shot an MBTA cop. They believe one brother is dead, and the other is holed up in Watertown. Police are telling people who live in Watertown/Newton/Allston Brighton/Brookline etc are asked not to go outside. I'll gladly obey.

Sh*t been real insane in the 617 the last 12 hours. A major metropolitian area has been put on lockdown. Mass transit shut down, buses down, taxis off service. Military is running around in the suburbs. There's reports the suspect still alive is wearing a suicide vest.

Yeah, calm down with your reporting skills.

I'd like to say, as another MA resident, I sincerely appreciated this update of the events unfolding. Thank you.

I have had CNN on since 4 am CST this morning when I started hearing reports flashing over FB, now it is confirmed that one is dead, however if you watch it the family is going "I wan proof they did this" are you freaking kidding me?! Boston ya'll are in my thoughts, glad all of the inforoosters are safe!!

Imagine that overnight you had your nephews thrown in your face as murders and not just on a local scale but internationally. That family hasn't had a moment's peace to process what's happening. I think anything they say at this moment should be given some leeway. These are ordinary folks that as of yesterday thought their entire family was ordinary folks.
Wow. Looks like they invoked the NDAA on him. That means no defense attorney, no miranda rights, no right to trial until they are ready to turn him over to the standard criminal justice system.

How does that work with him being a US citizen? Just curious.
In the event of national security events, your citizenship is forfit until it is re granted from you. I am not an expert at this, but that's the way I read it. Essentially, you have no rights. It was slipped in and codified in 2012.

I guess I wasn't clear. I was attempting to joke at the absolutely horrible job the MSM has done this week (and pretty much every week, regarding anything). In contrast, your update was pertinent and concise. Sorry for the confusion. I think it was the CNN comments above you that had me thinking it would come across....
