drat there's a lot of authorities at the scene. Hope it's something like a gas leak or at least just an unfortunate accident. I don't want to believe that there's an individual responsible for doing something malicious.

That picture was not "not mind safe" and wasn't disgusting enough to make you throw up your lunch. Please stop overreacting you weirdos. I wonder why someone would choose to bomb the Boston marathon, and who.

Christ, that's a hell of a place to have a terrorist attack. I really hope the cause isn't malicious, but it probably is.
