This is terrible.
But I have to admire the runner in pink. He had enough concentration not to even look back after the explosion.

Peace.
To be honest, he was probably too exhausted to notice.
I suspect that the older guy who fell wasn't hit, he was just surprised/shocked and his body just gave out.
Terrible stuff. I hope someone has a cell phone video of the culprit(s). The Boston police are looking for any footage anyone has.
WHAT THE FUCK??????
SERIOUSLY. WHAT THE FUCK??????

Good job Boston PD, Mass. State Police, and FBI!
Wow, they pwned those stupid kids.
I guess the lesson is DO NOT FUCK w/ post 9/11 America?
PS—Assuming they're guilty, of course. Innocent until proven guilty yadda yadda.

The lesson is do not fuck with Boston.
At one point, the police and FBI were getting 300,000 tips a minute according to ABC news.
edit: Even a guy who got both his legs blown off allegedly woke up and first thing, was ready to tell the cops he could identify the guy, even with all the drugs he was on.

This is why I want to be PD... to be in the middle of the action, instead of just a netizen posting about it. Soon, soon...
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
That overt desire "to be in the action" is just one of the many reason they won't ever let you.
They have a term for people like you, other than just "sociopath." It's called Hero syndrome.
The Boston PD earned the populace's trust, and were rewarded with overwhelming support during this crisis. That generation of trust is something you could never accomplish.
I have to completely agree with Ryllharu on this one Ani. Your eagerness is more than a little scary.

Sapphire is awesome!
Did you hear that, Ani?
They called you a hero. <3

That's what I got from it. I think they're being a little defensive since all they can do to contribute to the situation in Boston is post about it on the forums, and maybe on facebook.
@Ryll: you sound like so many people who have this misguided notion about what/who the police are and what kinds of people join the police. It's the same bs that will lead you to castigate and revile police officers who mess up, never mind that they are just humans working under a lot of stress, sometimes life and death. Good thing people like you don't get to choose who polices you.
"The Boston PD earned the populace's trust..." HAHAHAHHA. Oh the storybook world you must live in.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Yeah this has nothing to do with police or what kind of people join the police force this is about you specifically. I know one psycho in particular who went and joined the military because he is a superhero and supposedly when he is satisfied with all the good deeds he is going to do in the US military he is going to become an FBI agent. That last line of yours is a sentiment he expresses often.

Yeah well you don't really know me and you probably don't really know this psycho you're talking about either. If he actually believes that being in the military or the police enables you to be a hero, he's young and dumb and the reality will hit him sooner or later how powerless he actually is to do any real good in the world as a soldier or an officer. That's why I'm aiming high, like judgeships and policy making.

I know him far too well actually, I grew up with him. He is dumb age has nothing to do with it and when he is forced to face reality it only serves to further reinforce his delusions. You really aren't helping your case, saying I don't know him and that he is special and not like other people is his typical defensive bs. Unrealistically high expectations is another. First he was going to go to the NFL and become this superstar RB but then reality set in and he discovered he couldn't cut it, then he moved on to being a lawyer/judge and he was going to go to law school blah blah, couldn't make that happen either. Now it is the military and then the FBI. The more he fails the more motivation he has to try to prove himself. He has an inferiority complex so large that if it were to physically manifest it would blot out the sun. Don't be that guy Ani.

Let's keep further discussion on Boston police and other news topics. You can continue posting here for career discussions.

Well luckily the Boston PD are a fine squad with 100% compliance and model officers who all have the right mindset for police work and none of whom have a hero complex, which enabled them to apprehend the suspects in this horrible attack.
One thing I'm hearing from the PC crowd is that the suspects are Russian, and that people need to quit being racist by assuming that they are Islamic terrorists. But those PC folks forget, there are Muslims in Russia.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer?

They are Chechens. HUGE difference. Apparently one too subtle for you to understand (though it shouldn't be). The Chechen Separatists weren't even Islamic radicals until the late 2000s, they were just nationalists.
The American Chechen refugee population despises these two. The Russians and Chechens hate these two. The general response from the average Russian interviewed as a result of this story considers them just some pathetic loser wackjobs who were lashing out because their life wasn't going their way. The two were from a different part of Russia (now Kyrgyzstan), one of them (the younger) never even visited Chechnya, and the other (the older) was quite vocal about his dissatisfaction at not making any friends in the US. That last part is far more in line with the regular pattern of domestic terrorism.
So yes, the Islamist Radicalist angle is a bit overzealous at this point, and is a bit bigoted. The brothers probably sought a connection with that as an excuse, rather than as their driving cause.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Chechen Separatist Movement hates these two, because they have brought the Russian Government's attention back on them.
Not only that, but it might make the world pay even less attention to the Chechnya situation, if a portion of people start to think Chechens deserve whatever Russia throws their way.
