wait...these are devices?
I was thinking accidental explosions.
Who would target a race??.....a very sad day
 
:sorry:
 
We've all felt the comraderie with other runners at events, whether we know them or not. This is a sad day for our sport. I anticipate hearing from my friends, and I pray for those runners and spectators involved.
 
They are now saying that because of the type of devices used it is in line with a terrorist attack.

Yes. Unfortunately, these are not accidental explosions. News is saying that these are similar in deployment as IED's.

As for who would target a race, I'd say to back the focus out a bit and ask: Who would target a large gathering of people? Someone who was trying to make a point and scare the sh!t out of us, which - to their credit - they have.

I had to turn off the news for a bit...When 9/11 happened, I bought a case of Sierra Nevada and sat on the couch drinking beer and re-reading my Bloom County books.
 
Whoa hadn't heard I'm going to check news now.
 
Sad, sad. I guess the bomb went off at the 4:09 mark. Anyone who hadn't finished was stopped well back. Pictures are pretty horrific. Aerial shot of the blast site showed lots of debris and lots of blood stains on the concrete.
 
AN 8-YEAR OLD CHILD! WHAT THE F$%K?! It's bad when innocent people are killed by F$%K WADS like this, but a CHILD?! LEAVE THE CHILDREN ALONE YOU MOTHER F$%KERS!!!! It's a good thing I don't report the news.
