    thoughts and prayers to all those affected in Beantown .
    Special kudos to all the first responders and hospital workers
    who ran toward the injured and critical & fatally injured people.
    For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
    That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive

    I just heard on the radio a question, "Does this make you more scared of big events."

    I'm not. There will always be the good people that help out. There will always be the heroes; not necessarily Wonder Woman, but the next door neighbor who happens to know the best escape routes, or the barista who can direct me to the nearest shelter.

    I definitely second, third, and fourth the kudos for the heroes of yesterday's violence; whether first responders, hospital workers, or race staff.

    Who knows, maybe one day I'll be the hero. Or, maybe I'll need the hero.

    and they were packed with metal, nails, and ball bearing to inflict immense carnage. My buddy and I were talking today and when they catch whoever did this, they should bound their ankles and hitch them on the trailer hitch of a truck and drag them feet first the entire 26.2 mile route and invite anyone who feels angry about this to line the route and heave rocks, bricks, and anything solid at them the entire way. Whatever's left of them at the end can be lit on fire.

    That's justice to me!

    Prayers to all my friends and family back in my former hometown of Boston. Sad to see and hear all of this tragic event. Copley Square and the Boston Library used to favorite handouts of mine....which are not far from where this tragedy occurred.

    Hoping for quick recoveries for the injured and that the runners, Boston Marathon organizers will all come back stronger, safer and better than ever before.

    yes...the really bad one is of the same man that is being helped by the man in the cowboy hat.

    First victim taken to the hospital. I have a feeling his employer will take good care of him.

    Yes, that one. He lost both legs unfortunately.

    There is an even worse pic out there of him on the ground after the bomb went off. Not for the weak of stomach.

    I feel bad for the guy - not only because of his severe injuries - but because those photos are out there floating around. I don't think I would want that if it was me - just makes things look worse. Nobody wants to be seen at their most vulnerable, nor do they want to be something that makes people cringe or sick to their stomach.

    I feel bad for him too. But I tried to put myself in his position, and I'd want those pictures out there for everyone to see. I dont know why. I'd just want people to know. I may not be the norm though.

    Most of this is just circling people with backpacks. The one that looks really suspicious are the two guys, one with backpack and one in blue zip up with a duffel bag. Later picture shows them together but guy no longer has backpack. Both appear middle eastern and the guy who no longer has the bag is looking off in a different direction then everybody else. Its a photo so looking off doesn't mean anything but the fact that he no longer has the backpack is very suspicious.

    I am sure the FBI is pissed about all this. There is no way they wanted the media reporting that they had pics or video of a suspect. If the person knows they have images of them it will much more difficult to find them or they may just kill themselves.
    Forced to endure, what I cannot forgive.

    Maybe. I am sure they use the media to their advantage at times. This doesnt seem like one of those times though.

    I would be really really careful about what pictures I post and point out. I realize people want to be helpful, but imagine if those 2 guys are innocent...it's on the internet that people are pointing them out to be suspicious, and those pictures are not going to go away very easily.
    I feel bad for the guy - not only because of his severe injuries - but because those photos are out there floating around. I don't think I would want that if it was me - just makes things look worse.

    That picture is very moving , the guy with the cowboy hat, Carlos Arredondo is a hero, he likely saved the other man, Jeff's life. (I cannot find Jeff's last name) If it weren't for the picture, Jeff wouldn't know who to thank for saving his life.

    that's how I see it anyway.
