    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.

    Yes it is. Its Jeff Bauman Jr.
    I went looking for a place to donate to victims and came across this facebook support page:
    https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jeff-Bau ... 34?fref=ts

    I dont know how legit it is, so i didnt donate anything yet.

    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 am aware of that. All I am saying is it looks suspicious. Did you see the pictures?

    yes, I did see the pictures, like in the one picture when one guy is mingling with the crowd and doesn't have the backpack anymore? Personally I don't keep wearing my backpack, I take it off, and hold it by the top handle so I don't push people around in the crowd. I've seen other people do that, he could have done that too.

    I'm just looking at the overall bigger picture. If that really is they guy, he most likely is on an international flight right now.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    True he could be holding it.

    Agreed about him leaving the country. That is probably why the FBI is pissed that the info that they have video and are looking for somebody leaked out. If the guy thinks hes safe they have a better chance of finding him.

    Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
    Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...

    Incredible.

    I have always disliked Boston for obvious reasons. Over the past 2 years, I have been spending a lot of time there for work, a couple times a month. I am really looking forward to heading up next week and just seeing the place and knowing everything is okay.

    I guarantee there weren't many dry eyes in the arena after that.

    this makes me sick to my stomach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... hM7Ura6Q4w

    :nono: they should have to run the entire course of the marathon fully suited up in fireman's gear...O2 tanks included, if they think they can profit off of a tragedy. :evil:

    Yeah, I saw that the other day too. I hope these people see their faces and the people they know see their faces and they are ashamed of them. They should be, its disgusting. Just goes to show you the world is full of good and bad people. Not far from here you have people potentially risking their lives to help victims dieing on the sidewalk and these pieces of shit are skipping around with their stolen jackets. Maybe a few are actual runners that didn't get their jackets but most are not. Certainly not the guy with the green shirt and cigarette.

    I had a dear friend move to Boston from Dallas last summer, and today I finally heard back from her thankfully. She mentioned she was at the 24.5 mile mark with her bf and some friends cheering people on, and was about to go to the finish line but decided to head home because she was behind in studying. She said most likely she would have been right there when the blasts went off. I am beyond thankful for her safety and for her friends being fine as well.

    Thoughts and prayers for all those whose lives were forever changed by this.
