Is it wrong to want to turn off all media resources, pull your curtains, lock your doors and shut off from these despicable acts? Reality can be too much sometimes can't it. Sometimes I don't want to know how evil humans can be. Having grown up in London during the 80's these events make my blood run cold, it's nearly 10:30pm here and I need to sleep, won't be sweet dreams though.
Keep safe guys, don't let these b@£tards beat you, although that words too good for them. Hug your families a little tighter tonight. Xoxox

My thoughts exactly...so sad.Just terrible!
What is wrong with people?
Why do people have to ruin everything and in the process harm others for their own agendas?
Keeping Boston in my thoughts!

When one of the bombs went off at the finish line, you see one of the runners cripple over then fall. Shrapnel, glass, debris or whatever from the bomb etc went out and got him. After I saw that, I looked at the ticker on the finish line. It was around my slow time for a full. Your heart sinks a little putting yourself right where this guy was, just minding his own business running his race.
and of course the bystanders supporting.
Sad.

Surprisingly the world is safer and less violent now than any time in human history. It can be hard to believe with our current 24 hour news cycle pumping out death and destruction, but the data shows we live in a very safe world.
Pictures from the scene.
WARNING!!!!
Many of these are not easy to look at.

I know you're right, unfortunately it does make me feel vunerable though.

I can't look, I've heard enough descriptions! This is not an attack at you MY but why must 'graphic' photos and footage be shown? Personally me as an individual will not learn anything from seeing these things. My newspapers will be on my doorstep in the morning, I will turn the pages as quickly as I can!
No doubt, but the facts are all that keep us sane at times.

Thoughts go out to anyone who was in the area today, and all the displaced runners and residents. I work about 7 miles from the finish, heard all the sirens rushing in, and passed a large number of state police rushing in as I was heading home. Hopefully no members from here were around the finish at that time.
Because in reality there is more hope than horror in those pictures. Seems like there are 4-5 people rushing toward the danger to help every person that is hurt.
