    Someone made the point earlier that much of this is just venting on a message board. I think that it important to remember. I for one could not even count the number of different emotions I have felt since Monday. We all handle those emotions differently.

    I dont care where else in the world this happens. It doesn't happen here! And when it does, the parties responsible will pay dearly for it.[/quote]

    So this times 1,000,000 probably amounts to kisses, hugs, and a snuggly.

    If this incident isn't enough to spark anger and fury- two natural emotions in the human emotion spectrum- then what is? Regardless of what 'mamby-pampy' types think... anger and fury serve a purpose. Dismiss them all you want, but they are motivators at the very least.

    I'm not understanding how you have taken the ill-wishes of the majority of this community and extended it into everywhere else in the world?

    Confusing me once again... you seem to make a plea for empathy for this dickhead... and then in your very last staement you boldly declare, "Killing innocent people is fucken wrong no matter WHO THEY ARE or WHERE THEY ARE."

    So... in summary... are you a hardliner disgusted with this event and seeking appopriate justice that would correspond with the very nature of the crime... or are you a 'mamby-pamby' that cannot comprehend why someone would want to see the little worm- who blew up an 8 year old and 100 other people by dropping a backpack holding a bomb into a crowd and then ran away with a smug little grin in anticipation of the carnage- suffer a little?

    Ya, you got me all figured out. :roll: a fucken mamby pamby or whatever it is you called me. And ya you're right, only Americans are allowed to feel those feelings you described. Because in reality, only America exists in the world. Give me a fucken break! I never said empathy for this dick. He should be hung by his balls but for you to act like the worlds ending because of what happened in Boston, got news for you, it happens ALL OVER THE WORLD EVERYDAY. Difference is is that you view the world through YOUR American eyes.

    I'm not American. I'm Canadian if it makes any difference for you. I do like to think of myself as a citizen of the world.

    If you have ever read any of my posts... you would know that I'm aghast with what's happening in other parts of the world. This one hit a little closer to home- I did my Masters Degree at Northeastern in Boston. I love that city. I think it's okay to feel a little tense over this- there's no reason to suggest North Americans should 'get with the program' and feel okay with citizens getting killed like they do elsewhere.

    I feel you and I understand. It's a sensitive topic and we can all use a little healing. Your Canadian, big hockey game today, rangers/devils! Lets all watch and get our minds off this shit for a little while.......and go rangers!!!

    It's all good!

    I'm more interested in the Blue Jays smacking the Yankees to be honest, but regardless... you are correct: there are other things to focus on if one chooses to do so. Good luck with your Rangers.

    This thread is diminishing what little faith I had left in the human race. It's sad that so many people seem to take such comfort and even pleasure in imagining and hoping for physical pain on this suspect.

    What he did was terrible. I'm not defending him at all. But some of you need to take a good look at yourselves if someone else's pain brings you comfort.

    Fact: He killed 4 people
    Fact: He removed limbs from probably 20+ people
    Fact: A punch to the face heals in a few days
    Fact: The surviving victims won't heal in a few days

    are you really still outraged that people are hoping that the cops roughed him up? :lol:

    are we then what "they" say we are? fuck that. we need to hold to the values we espouse no matter what happens. NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!

    That said, I do hope the feds get it right and he is tried and convicted fairly and above board so there should be no question what so ever about his guilt.

    One of the four people that he killed was a cop. I think that he is still alive is testament to the restraint the police showed in apprehending him.

    Anyone else hear that this kid apparently tried to kill himself by shooting himself in the mouth, and the bullet instead went out his neck.
    Thats why he cannot communicate with authorities right now, and may never be able to.

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    either that restriant or they ALL need to go to the gun range for some practice.

    I'm speaking to the general tone of this thread and what I've read elsewhere.

    We either live by the rule of law and everything that means.
    or we dont and should burn the fucking constitution, blow up all the courts and revert to this lord of flies fuck everyone else this is all about me fucked up place all this technology is taking us to.

    we claim some kind of Moral High Ground in this country. Until.......................

    I hear you. You aren't wrong, but I do think some of the tone of this thread is steam being blown off.
