    Prayers? (as if everyone with a moral compass does this)
    God?
    Death penalty?

    What is wrong YOU guys? This isn't the time for this selfishness.

    What is selfish is that you are attacking us for how we deal with things when you could say something helpful or uplifting. :)

    Agreed.

    Got all the confirmations of those I know that work/live in Boston...but now waiting on other people that I suspect were in town for business or the race and such.. Ugh.

    NBC just said 2 dead and 23 injured -- so sickening!!! :( I'm sure the injuries at least will be rising over the next few hours.

    Near the finish line no less. So wrong on so many levels!!!! Thank the Lord the hospitals are so close. Looks like most were family members/friends/on-lookers, etc.

    My heart hurts for all of them!!!

    I gotta log off this site. I didn't know MFP and Yahoo! consolidated their sign-in accounts. Crazies everywhere you go.

    You my friend, are a complete douche bag.

    *kitten* is nicer than what I was thinking... but we will go with it... and let him log off the site no one will miss him.
    Did you miss me, sis?

    Our local news station just confirmed that 3 are dead.It's sad !

    Someone else said it's up to 12...

    The New York Times has currently confirmed 12 are dead. :sad:

    Do you have a link, b/c I can't see ANYONE reporting this.

    This world needs God! :(

    And what if someone did this in the name of god?

    In this situation the world needs to just not blow people up.

    Please don't derail this and turn it into a Christian/agnostic/atheist debate. Let people believe what they want to believe.
