Explosion in Boston?

[The Ween]

Those are some of the most disturbing pictures I've ever seen.

The one guy is the one seen in a wheelchair in other pics.

Yeah I thought so. You can make out one other with the same injury though and what looks like two poor women almost certainly dead, their bodies bent like ragdolls.

 

[occulum]

from seeing those pics, and knowing there are 2 reported dead, I feel pretty sure the girlfriend from the earlier link is very alive and being treated...

So, who or whom is behind this atrocity?

 

[DiFabio]

I can't believe all the pictures that have been shown, most of which have surfaced from smart phones onto Twitter. What's even scarier is the morbid curiosity surrounding the whole thing, "got the pics? Can I see em?" These aren't movie spoilers, these are real people suffering. I can't believe in some circles (I'm not saying that's the case here) that these are being passed around. If I were in their place and dismembered I'd hate for anyone to see me like this, let alone the world.

This stuff will desensitize you, and that's never a good thing in my opinion. Those pictures are just gruesome. If you were there at the event, how could you take a picture of what's happened to the victims? It almost feels like exploitation. I know I wouldn't have the nerve to take a shot, even if I was with the news and media.


I feel for those people. Think about it. A marathon like this, an every day event where something like this should be the last thing on your mind. It'd be like going to a convention, or a movie, or anything that you enjoy where one minute you're enjoying yourself and the next minute your bottom half is all over the place.


It was a holiday today in Massachusetts too wasn't it? Just awful.

and not to mentioned the people filming the event with their phones, they just stayed there and continued to film, no worries that it could continue but more worried about posting it on facebook

I dont get it

Welcome to the desensitization of internet culture. When you grow up with a constant 24/7 influx of information and access to the most graphic and perverse imagery at the touch of a button, the grotesqueries of life quickly become entertainment.

Just think if smart phone technology was available during the 9/11 attacks , things like twitter , instagram , tumblr , facebook woulda been the same way , flooded with horrible pics & videos.

Indeed it's sad and ridiculous how many people took photos of the victims .

 

[galactiboy]

Wow, talk about opportunistic. A bombing becomes a chance to steal swag

All these people should be exposed for the scumbags that they are, no charges just public humiliation

 

[CelticPredator]

You know...this tragady isn't the biggest of all time...but it some how seemed to represent almost everything that's wrong with America in one fatal swoop.

I'm shocked. But at the same time...i'm not.\


And I watched the news. Barely any mention on the good doers of this country. Maybe a tiny video interview in juxposion with the explosion and gore pics.....yeah because that works.

 

[DiFabio]

That's pretty gross. Can't believe how many people are grabbing that stuff too.

It's to bad some of those people weren't there watching instead of some of the innocent people who were.

Exactly how I feel about it.

My co-worker's step-daughter ran it in just over three hours. I hope she is OK.

yeah, I always get an uneasy feeling about big events/concerts, stuff like that. Nothing will probably happen, but big events make me uneasy.
