    President on now.

    FBI not sure if this is foreign or domestic terrorist act.
    The bombs that went off were smaller/crude in nature.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    I stand alone without beliefs

    I've had the news on 10 minutes, and I can't count how many times they have replayed the explosion.

    Warm thoughts to all those affected.

    I had three close friends there today - two running and one in support. They are all o.k. as they finished before the explosions. I am so thankful, but I'm grieving for those injured and killed.

    Boston. Fucking horrible.

    I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, "Well, I've had it with humanity."

    But I was wrong. I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.

    But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness.

    But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.

    So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, "The good outnumber you, and we always will."

    What an evil, sick f@*k! 8 years old! What a stupid freaking loser taking away someone's baby and terrifying innocent people. Really sorry to hear this, I know that I'm not the only Aussie that is so incredibly proud of your country's bravery, resilience and togetherness in awful times like this. Thoughts are with you guys.

    Living an hour and a half away, I've visited Boston countless times. It's a city that is like no other.

    From warm summer nights at Fenway to perfect fall days on the Harbor.

    see you soon

    It definitely puts things in perspective. My thoughts are with those in Boston.

    I hope everyone that took photos or video throughout the day, send them to the police to review. It may have something that will lead the police to catch these evil people.
