Opinions on these Boston events?

Hey guys, relatively new here.. but after lurking for awhile, I'd like to think everyone here are smart guys, with experiences in a wide variety of fields..

I'd just like to see what everyone's events are...of course, praying for all the victims and those hurt.

I personally think these events are very weird. To think a 19 and 26 year old orchestrated all of this is pretty hard to believe. Coincidentally, they happen to be nobodies...they have no family, no social circle, no ties to a cult or a religious group.

What gets weirder for me is the fact that there was no symbolism in these bombings... they didn't try to send a message, they didnt have a pre/post bombing video trying to justify their actions. Everything just seemed to happen out of sheer randomness. They didn't try to "teach America a lesson" or try to tell them how the US "deserved it."

Nothing really makes much sense.. These kids were nobodies, ghosts before this whole event. One of them is dead, and most likely, the live suspect wouldnt provide much information since most likely, he doesnt know much.

just my opinion....Just want to see what you guys think.. keep it clean guys!

In case this is what you mean to get into, this is the wrong site for rumor, speculation, conspiracy talk, and the like on extremely sensitive events like this.

Did you read the threads already on the subject, and see how they went? And that they were closed?

This topic has been beaten to death, and is no longer welcome on these boards.
Multiple complaints, extreme views of prejudice, and poor judgment in posting lead to a topic no longer welcome for discussion here......

We are a world wide forum encompassing all cultures, genders and views. When the diatribe of general respect to all as whole goes out the window, so does the opportunity to openly discuss such a topic!

Well said Rob.
I would like to add that's it really has been the minority who have displayed high levels of ignorance and prejudice.

Thank you to all the members who have been keen to alert us to these posts as they've come up.

TRF has a strong set of principles and a majority of level headed, intelligent members. There will always be some who ruin it....but such is life.

Fortunately here we can shut such individuals down fast.
