Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon [W:162, 896, 911]]

Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

Whatever.



"Tolerance is giving to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself." ~ Robert Green Ingersoll

Holy ****. It's a red letter day at DP. We have finally concluded the long and drawn out argument about the evils of firearms and the practicality of collecting them all. Could we possibly stick this so we don't ever have to beat this particular deceased equine again?


BTW I'm interpreting "whatever" to mean you have at long last concluded the theoretical impossibility of collecting all existing firearms or the ability to go back in time and prevent their manufacture. Does that sound about right?
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

Define 'a good number'. Maybe in that definition you can post stats showing what percentage of legitimate gun owners shoot themselves or anybody else versus the numbers that don't, or would the latter be 'bad numbers'?

More than a handful, a significant amount. Shooting yourself or a person known to you (friend or family) is who we shoot most often.

Nope.

It looks like they 'may' have a suspect in the bombings.

Lets hope it's the perp.
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

Try almost never. The percentages are infintesimally small. More people die straining too hard on the toilet.

No, that would be a false comparison. The percentage is much higher with gun owners.

It is almost zero.

Just about every single person I've ever known owns guns, and none of us knows anyone who accidentally shot anyone.

Now in Chicago, they're shooting each other on purpose. And they have strict gun laws.

April 15. Tax due date. In Boston, home of the Boston Tea Party.

The connection is obvious to any American, but it may be a coincidence if the perpetrator is foreign. We'll see.

Really? Hahahahaah

What does any of that have to do with the bombs at the Boston Marathon?

Pretty good work on their part I'd say. Just 2 days? That's some serious work there. Kudos to the officers on a great job so far.
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

comment removed because after posting above warning was seen. I'd like boo to take the above comment to the gun forum so we could discuss it further.

In news about the bombing, did they or did they not arrest a suspect? Many conflicting reports.

Fair enough. I was just answering what was posted.

Moderator's Warning:
One thread ban handed out and more pretty close to being issued. Boo, Erod, one more post from either of you even having the word "gun" in it and its point and a thread ban. That clear enough for you two?
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

It's also human nature to rush to other peoples' aid, at least for those who aren't sociopaths.

It's natural in some people, but not in most people.
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

Right here on this thread is the first place that I've heard anything about 'looters' and I've read lots of reports.

Sounds like urban legend BS to me.

I'm pretty sure that's BS. :roll: There are ALL kinds of stupid stories out there.

There have been reports of looting around the Texas explosion. Someone may have gotten confused.:cool:

I've been following this in a different forum site, so I haven't read this long thread yet.

Anyone here see this yet? I just discovered it:

Found in this link: Three Cheers for Ruslan Tsarniof

Has a 7 minute Youtube interview with the uncle.

How do you embed YouTubes here?

I normally do this:

So far as I know, you can embed some video links automatically by simply clicking the "Insert Video" button on toolbar of the editor and entering the URL.

I know it works for youtube, at least.
 
I'm soooooo sooooo sooo glad they got this guy alive. Now we can find out more about this. Like, was it their plan or where they offered this plan or funded by other sources. All sorts of stuff can be found out now.
 
Are we sure he is alive. Lots of gunfire.

Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

Terrorist bombing in Boston. So what City is next ?
If it was organized for more, I think it likely would have happened at the same time. Just like the four planes.
