Explosions at Boston Marathon

[Capetan Mihali]

I think he's describing it the other way around, the shop owners are worried about a possible atmosphere/fear, that they may see some inappropriate backlash against them ?

I shan't worry about blacklash.  Bostonians only freak out when black children are bussed into white school districts.]

Sez Mr. Eastern Shore.

Ah. Those weren't really shown in the footage that I saw.

Multiple sources saying the 8 year old was a boy and a spectator.

Hey, Mihali.

I am glad you're okay.

[Josquius]

Well this sucks, you just know its going to make travel awkward

At least 25 to 30 people have at least one leg missing, or an ankle missing, or two legs missing.

Don't you have somebody to hit with a flagpole in the chest or something?
And to think we were worried about you.

Westboro Baptist Church is striking out again claiming that Americans are to blame for the fate of the Boston Marathon explosions. According to rants on Twitter Monday, April 15 the Westboro Baptist Church claims the bombings are in reaction to the gay community and abortion rights that happen in the United States.
Rage has ensued on Twitter as fellow Westboro member Margie Phelps launches a heavily targeted Twitter campaign with plans to picket the funerals of those killed during the Boston Marathon explosion. The explosion which left two dead and several dozen injured has caused Margie Phelps and the WBC to claim that President Obama has once again enraged God.
@MargieJPhelps: Too late! You've enraged God w #SSM Mr. President. #stopit
MT @CapehartJ: POTUS:American people will say prayer for people of Boston tonight
Unfortunately, it will not end with Tweets on Twitter. Using Twitter to further get their message out, the WBC once again claims they will stand with signs and picket any funeral held for those killed in the explosion.
@WBCFliers: BREAKING: Westboro Baptist Church to picket funerals of those dead by Boston Bombs! GOD SENT THE BOMBS IN FURY OVER FAG MARRIAGE! #PraiseGod
People are firing back against WBC and their claims to picket. It is evident that they are tired of the group claiming to be a religious group when in reality they promote hate. A petition has been launched to prevent them from picketing at any funerals held in Boston.
@GouldReys: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/ban-westboro-baptist-church-en... ... Please retweet my petition to stop the WBC from picketing funerals in Boston please

Some things don't change.

I cannot even summon up an ounce of rage at WBC anymore. They want me to be enraged. Fuck 'em, they should just be ignored.

[Caliga]

I can't recall if I've mentioned this on Languish before but at this point I'm starting to doubt WBC is 'real' and wonder if they're not deep-cover liberals trying to make foes of gay marriage look even more ridiculous than they make themselves look already.

Shit, we don't need that from Westboro;  that was already covered at CPAC.

That's entirely off the chart.  The patriarch was a Democrat, and a Gore supporter.  But it would appear they are simply a clan of inbred lunatics.

After twenty or so years?  They were doing this long before gay marriage was even a thing.

Look on the bright side: now they'll be able to score all the best parking spots.
Gotta see the silver linings, man.

But Boston's gonna have to spend money on more blue paint.

[CountDeMoney]

More blue paint in front of stores is THE PRICE OF FREEDOM.  AND SAVINGS.
