1. what ideology or faith says this is OK
Ghilmeini ,   usa   (04.15.13)
they attacked the defenseless in the name of what they believe. Nothing justifies this.
2. Probably either Muslims or North Korea
Vlad   (04.15.13)
3. Prayers
Adam Neira ,   Paris, France   (04.15.13)
Prayers for the deceased and injured.
4. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.15.13)
I wondered about that. But I don't think the Boston Marathon is flashy enough a target. Could just be a home-grown crazy. Heaven knows we have no shortage of those .....
5. Arab spring has finally come to USA...
Beary White ,   Norway   (04.15.13)
with violence and terror.
6. God Bless America!
Jerusalem Girl ,   Jerusalem   (04.15.13)
Today Israel celebrates it's Independent Day, but we are with you, our brothers and sisters, we stand by you in this darkest hour. We pray for you. God Bless America!
7. Poor America
Gee ,   Zickron Yaakov   (04.15.13)
No country should have to undergo this. If we can help please ask.
8. Breaking news!
USA   (04.15.13)
Consistent with his recent attempts at banning guns, President Obama has called for the banning of bombs in America because "bombs kill..."
9. mecca is a one-nuke town
BH ,   Iowa   (04.16.13)
I'll happily pay a little extra for gasoline.
10. Thank you #6 & 7
Cameron ,   USA   (04.16.13)
Reports of a 3rd device going off at JFK library, and up to 49 wounded at this point. Bad day in Boston.
11. Sarah B at No: 4
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (04.16.13)
Here on the left coast we had a young guy try to detonate a fake bomb at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony. He didn't know it was fake and his lawyers are trying to get him off the hook because they claim the govt. set him up. He is a Muslim. He clearly had the intent however the govt went about getting him.
12. From the video released
Naor ,   USA   (04.16.13)
It seems the first bomb went off suspiciously close to where the Israeli flag was flying. Could just be a coincidence but it stood out to me immediately with it being Israel's Independence Day. Terrorism continues to plague innocent people the world over, a sad day.
13. America
Rahm H Adda   (04.16.13)
We are with You , god bless America We jewish around the world We pray for You America
14. "By way of deceit you should...
Abraham ,   NYC, USA   (04.16.13)
...do war." Right? Tomorrow, or the day after...a young immigrant from Pakistan..or Jordan...will be arrested. In his interrogation he will claim that he was recruited by someone who presented himself as a member of "Al Quds Force". Cell phone analysis, conducted by unit 8200, will link this episode to Iran.
15. #8 sicko
Gee ,   Zickron Yaakov   (04.16.13)
There are human beings dead and maimed. It is not a joke. We need to offer all Americans our heartfelt sympathy and prayers. I hope there is some way we can help our friends in the great country of America
16. To: BH at No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.16.13)
I suspect that if we take out Saudi Arabia, you'll be paying a whole lot less for gasoline. Like 49 cents a gallon, or something close. You know what? Not a half bad idea .... Really, when you think about it -- why should a bunch of seriously primitive towelheads dictate the economy of the United States? Where would Saudi Arabia be without the entire United States Fifth Fleet anchored off the port of Jeddah? We should just sent those camel jockeys right back into the desert and take the oil. It's not as if the Saudis have actually contributed anything to the world .... ever.
17. Update: Saudi national being held
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (04.16.13)
Police are holding a 20-something Saudi national, male. Go to Fox News or Bretibart.com for best updates.
18. Please don't forget ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.16.13)
... that April 15th is income tax day. I think we need to look for home-grown whack jobs.
19. To: Eaglebeak at No. 11
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.16.13)
I don't think the Boston Marathon is flashy enough a target. Moslem terrorists like a big blast and a high body count. April 15 is income tax day. I think we're looking for a whack job a little closer to home. You know -- Ruby Ridge types. G-d help us all. They are seriously crazy.
20. No Doubt Most Lament This Is What Israel Faces Each Year
Alberto   (04.16.13)
It is sad, horrible & maddening all at the same time. Why do some creatures who call themselves human do this kind of thing to other people. There are no arrests or suspects yet but I am SURE that everyone everywhere knows inherently who the suspects may be - usually those acting on the insane diatribes of their so-called 'religion of peace'.
21. The Anger
Ezra ,   San Diego   (04.16.13)
Words cannot express the anger of Americans over this senseless act. We are a free and defiant people, and we will not be intimidated by any group of terrorists (a.k.a. personality disorders). The evil ones who committed this act will be found and brought to justice. This evil act has solidified our defiant nature to run even more marathons!
22. #4 Sarah B it cannot be just one home-grown crazy
Vlad   (04.16.13)
It has to be a cell, with an agenda. One person, let alone someone who is crazy, cannot plan, prepare for, and carry out such a complex operation.
23. I demand that the US networks stop featuring this incident.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (04.16.13)
It is just equivalent to two rockets fired into Israel from Gaza. Israel has to deal with this on a daily basis and is expected to quietly absorb them. Retaliation is met with international outrage and so too, Israel's protective fence. I sympathize with those killed and injured, but there must be equality of press treatment here. The world must blame the US for the bombing, just as the press blames Israel for rockets from Gaza. Obama must apologize to the perpetrators too. The bombings will continue until Obama stops assisting the anti-government Syrian rebels. Hizbollah and Iran are bringing the war to the US. Next, Saudi Arabia.
24. #8 joke
yosef ,   williamsburgUS   (04.16.13)
You are the only one "snickering" at such a stupid attempt at a joke...
25. Updates and Thanks
Christy ,   Boston, US   (04.16.13)
Native Bostonian here - thanks for thoughts and prayers. Unfortunately, the death toll has been increased by one - now it's 3. One of those dead is an 8 year old boy. Reports from people at the hospitals about many limbs being lost. One poor person lost both a foot and a hand. Some people who were impacted by the school shooting in CT were in VIP bleacher seats near the explosions. The last mile of the marathon was dedicated to the memory of those who died in that tragedy. A rabbi from Downtown Boston Chabad was near the site and he - along with emergency people - went to see if he could help anyone. He was a calming and welcome presence at a very traumatic scene.
26. LET MY PEOPLE GO!
killjewishfaggots ,   los angeles,ca,usa   (04.16.13)
White House said the standard get-whitey thing after seeing the Jackie Robinson movie,41, then boom. Libs flying everywhere! My FBIers that follow me and harass me, try to kill me, spread rumours, black list me, wiretap me....to continue the 100 year feud the NAACPers started with Hollywood jewish commie money. I laughed and laughed...... Please note the email handle. Since the jew cannot control the jewish faggot per their then it falls to a higher level.
27. #4 to Sarah B
Alerican in Ameica ,   GREAT USA   (04.16.13)
If you really are an American and live in the US (any period of time), you clearly hate the US. GET TO HELL OUT OF THE US!!!!!!!!!!!!! We don't need americans like you.
28. deepest condolences to the victims
Cipora Julianna Kohn   (04.16.13)
29. To: No. 26
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.16.13)
You are in serious need of help. Go find it, before we find it for you. Behind bars. You are one sick and disease soul.
30. No prayers help after the fact. Try before the crime.
Michael ,   California, USA   (04.16.13)
If prayers helped there would be no acts of terrorism, no murders, no catastrophes, no accidents. I would become a great believer and would pray all the time. Naturally, I would pray BEFORE acts of terror happen, as people actually do every Saturday or Sunday in their temples or churches. Why do I have the impression nobody listens?
