My wife has informed me that I'm no longer allowed to run marathons of any significance.
Reports of a Saudi national suspect.
How shocking.
How shocking.
NY Post has 12 dead and has already solved the case.

If you don't run then the terrorists have won.

new reports of no one in custody.
what a weird feeling to think and read of this story. this is why i dont feel safe in cities. people are crazy on small scales and large scales. attention is a hell of a drug, and if this based on some religious nutball, no matter what the religion, i think its time to relook at that religion.

Cops saying they have no clue as to what the NY Post are talking about.
Why do people still give the NY Post any credence anyway?

The media seems to have the best idea of potential suspects the authorities should be interested in…

tax day
patriots day (in mass)
april 19 (the actual day of battles that "patriots day" honor) is connected to tim mcveigh/okc bombing
boston (city of the original tea party)
interesting . . . from a conspiracy nutball point of view, but still interesting. yes it sounds like a stupid novel plot, but in this day n age, i dont put anything past anybody. people are crazy. i blame the parents, the schools, and the tv.
I mean he has every right to read whatever he wants but we also have a right to throw "lollerskates" at him if he brings that here.
Proof is in the unprofessional jumping the gun that the media is guilty of time and time again.

Yes, "the media", especially the corporate and conservative varieties, often jump the gun but of what is that proof?

Just to clarify, McVeigh's bombing, while on Patriot's Day, had nothing to do with Patriot's Day. It was the two year anniversary of the end of the David Koresh/Branch Davidian's standoff in Waco, TX, which was April 19, 1993. McVeigh committed his act on April 19, 1995.
But just to add to it, the timeframe of April 10-20 has always been a part of public tragedy in the US (Columbine was April 20, VA Tech was April 17) and personal hardships for me personally (two broken bones[ '90, '04], a collapsed lung ['96], an apartment burned down ['05] and a chronic illness diagnosis ['10]). I have always hated this week. I mean REALLY fucking hated this week and said so as much Sunday night only to wake up to this.

The list goes on and on. The day of the colorado theater shooting, the media jumped on the blame wagon. Even Christopher Dorner, the infamous LAPD slayer, was praised by the media as they "could certainly understand" why he did the the horrific things he did and I should as well.
Apart from that, I was simply commenting on the media's inability to hold off when it comes to these situations. The discussion was about the possible subject in question that NBC claimed had been detained that turned out being completely unfounded. The article I linked was simply because it was the most cohesive example of this trend in the media. If I could find an article talking about all the prominent conservative voices jumping straight to international terrorism I would have posted that (and naturally, there was no trend like this out there). You sir had to take it elsewhere. But no matter, people like you feel the slightest criticism and react as you do.
I am so sad this happened. I can't even put into words all of the friendships and fun times running has brought to my life. Luckily, all of our friends and their families were safe yesterday. My thoughts go out to everyone who died or was injured.
A dark day…
A dark day…
And I WILL keep running.
