I don't even care if there is, I'm not going anyway

They're telling everyone to evacuate the city...I doubt there is a game

It'll be cancelled for sure.


And truth be told, I don't think a lot of people in Boston would feel secure being in a large building/crowd tonight.

Evacuate the city? I haven't heard anything about an evacuation.

Nope, I have tickets. I wouldn't go if there was a game anyway

They just said it on CSN...don't take my word for it. Maybe they just meant to tell people to get the frank away from the area and overstated it as an evacuation

"It's just a game" never held so much weight.

If it was a small bomb as is being reported. Look for some right wing extremist group to be responsible.

I really don't care what side of the political spectrum you're on... This type of premature speculation gets my goat.

Once the facts are in, go ahead and fire away. But until then, there's no need to start pinning tragedies on your opponents.

Where is the decorum and mutual respect? Can't we have political discussions that rise above the level "it must have been those crazy right wingers"?

It could be just about anyone. Not everything needs/is motivated by religion or politics.

Past bombs in the US have been triggered by right wing extremists.

This is fact.

Apparently two more devices found and being dismantled

take it for what it's worth

#BREAKINGNEWS: AP: Intelligence official: 2 more explosive devices found at Boston Marathon; being dismantled

Thing is, we could post a million crying emoticons in a row, there's nothing we can do about this tragedy.

That's right -- if we can't can't live in a world where bumholes make stupid jokes the terrorists win. You are a message of hope in this confusing world

Heartbreaking to hear Newtown families were in VIP section right by the Boston Marathon explosion.

And a perfect example of a non sequitur.

They're all safe, apparently. No injuries.

They must be traumatized at this point.

Yeah, not that important in the grand scheme of things

Us living in fear is precisely what terrorists want. Hence their terrorist label..

If you say so

Yep...If people live in fear, they win...

It doesn't matter. These people don't represent either side of the spectrum. They're just (frank)ed.

This isn't made to be a joke or in anyway make light of the situation, it just so happens to be funny.

Imagine running the entire marathon crossing the line, then being like poop I have to keep running

It doesn't matter. These people don't represent either side of the spectrum. They're just (frank)ed.

Glucky, I did say right wing extremists. As opposed to the saner right wing of the political spectrum.

Never mind -- I make bad jokes all the time. There's a big difference between deciding not to "live in fear" and being insensitive. I thought it was an insensitive time to make a joke.
