Explosion at Boston Marathon *NSFW IMAGES*


Recommended Posts

Fox News contributor Erik Rush has called for all Muslims to be killed in the wake of the deadly blasts that struck the Boston Marathon.

As of writing this, no details have been released yet on the suspects behind the bomb blasts in Boston, with the investigations ongoing yet Rush chose this moment to tell the world of his hatred of Muslims.

Rush has taken the tweet down, but the tweet can still be viewed here, courtesy of screen capture:

... In the UK, he would be immediately arrested for that, for inciting hatred and violence against others.

A senseless act. A work of the cowards. And I remain convinced that 99% of all the terrorism is state-sponsored terrorism.

As for suspects, North Korea isn't even slightly credible and it's concerning that anyone would even suspect them. T

Agreed, but such a reaction isn't surprising to me at all. It's actually quite logical (a cause and effect) and I expected it given the omnipresent propaganda citizens have to absorb these days. (Olympus Has Fallen).

It would have been truly a miracle if no one tried to blame NK after such a mind job. This would then indicate that the methods stopped working :)

Today is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Kim Il Sung, NK's first Dear Leader.

Just sayin'.

It was also Patriots' Day, an anniversary of the first battle of the American revolution.

So this is what my six-year-old son was going on about this morning. He likes to watch the news a little while having breakfast. Unfortunately, it means he has to hear stories like this - though we usually try to gloss over the sadder details.

More likely than not to be the work of a domestic bomber, but that is all academic as far as the unfortunate victims of this senseless act are concerned.

Ah, but which state is doing the sponsoring?

I decided not to speculate on it in the interests of the well-being of the community and the dignity of those affected.

It's a very sad day and we should unite against all the forms of terrorism.

fail...I can make this in paint in the next 2 mins and you would think its real.. lmao so gullible

hmm.. either you underestimate my intelligence or overestimate your mspaint skills.... :D

How about you conspiracy theorists get the hell off this topic for a while? It's sickening to see you try to blame anyone and everything all the freaking time, people lost their lives and a lot are injured, get a freaking heart you idiots.

The paranoia that some Americans in here have of their government is freaking unbelievable. The world is not out to get you.

Hmm that's something someone out to get me would say...Im on to you Tom

In general the Al-Quaida tactic for multiple bombs like these is not to try an get two groupings like this as the crowd spreads out. instead they detonate the first bomb to cause panic, then they attack the emergency service operation. taking out cops and medical responders. and variations on that.

The paranoia that some Americans in here have of their government is freaking unbelievable. The world is not out to get you.

Paranoia is an irrational fear.

A proposition that a precedent can be created on purpose in order to achieve a goal is entirely plausible.

"Looking forward" to Patriot Act 2.0 or some other domestic security enhancement act.

The privacy of citizens is in direct conflict with a state's desire for control.

Which you have no evidence for goes to show you don't care about what is true or false.

Yesterday the New York Post said 12 had died, while most (if not all) of the other western media said that 2 died.

Has the New York Post backtracked their "story" or are they still claiming that 12 died?

EDIT: Wait, never mind, I see that it's owned by News Corporation, so they can't be trusted

At this point, all finger-pointing to a given state or terrorist organization or to a conspiracy are nothing but conjectures. There is no solid proofs or evidences regarding the implication of the said groups.

It is the job of the various terrorist agencies to find the culprit(s), the motives and the operation mode and I hope that they will be found soon and alive so that they can be interrogated and tried.

Which you have no evidence for

I'm not sure what kind of evidence you were expecting, but it's a sad fact that the Americans are now less free than they were prior to 9/11, before all the security enhancing, privacy-infringing laws had been enacted.

So for the evidence, I suggest you start with familiarizing yourself with the USA PATRIOT ACT and NDAA 2012.

And that's evidence for the laws existing not the government hoaxing the attacks derp correlation causation fail

And that's evidence for the acts existing not the government hoaxing the attacks derp

There's a clear sequential connection there. These laws are enacted after the acts of terror, never before.

Then you apply the cui bono principle (to whose benefit?). Who gets the funding as a result of these new laws? You'll find that it's the same guys who could orchestrate such a scenario in the first place (intel agencies).

Correlation != Causation.

Learn2Logic :rolleyes:

If you want to make the claim these attacks were staged you need evidence

For which you have no justification to do so.

    • Beats Studio Pro wireless over-ear ANC headphones drop to their lowest price yet by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the Beats Studio Pro headphones at their all-time low price. The Studio Pro use 40mm active drivers which are designed to improve clarity and reduce distortion compared to previous models, with up to an 80% improvement over the Beats Studio3 Wireless. A built-in digital processor adjusts frequency response to keep the sound balanced rather than overly boosted in any one area. They also include Active Noise Cancelling that adapts to your surroundings to reduce background noise along with a Transparency mode that lets outside sound in when you need awareness of what’s going on around you. Furthermore, the headphones support personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking as well as Dolby Atmos playback on supported content. Moreover, built-in voice-targeting microphones improve call quality. You can also switch between three sound profiles including Beats Signature for balanced music playback, Entertainment for films and gaming, and Conversation for clearer voice in calls and podcasts. Physically, they are designed to be worn for long periods without feeling heavy or awkward. The ear cushions use UltraPlush engineered leather while metal sliders allow you to adjust the fit. On the connectivity side, the Studio Pro use Class 1 Bluetooth for a stable, long-range wireless connection. There is also a 3.5mm input if you want to plug in directly, including use with in-flight entertainment systems. Controls are located on the headphones and include a "b" button for music and call control, a volume rocker, and a multifunction button used for switching listening modes, EQ settings, power, and pairing. In addition, the headphones offer integration with both Apple and Android devices. On Apple devices, they support one-touch pairing with iCloud-linked devices, hands-free Siri access, Find My tracking based on last connected location, and automatic software updates. On Android devices, they support Google Fast Pair, Audio Switch between compatible devices, and Google Find My Device tracking, with additional features available through the Beats app. When it comes to the battery performance, it is rated at up to 40 hours of listening time with ANC turned off, and up to 24 hours with ANC or Transparency mode enabled. A 10-minute Fast Fuel charge should provide up to 4 hours of playback. Finally, the headphones use a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and charge via USB-C.

    • "lets you pause updates by choosing an end date, for up to 35 days" Wasn't it "indefinitely"?
    • Those extra reboots are related to the UEFI Secure Boot certificate update thing.
    • Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25: Affordable ergonomic mouse that focuses on the right things by Taras Buria ProtoArc is known for making all sorts of office products with a big focus on ergonomics and comfort. Its latest product, the EM25, promises a comfortable-to-use, affordable, and customizable mouse. We took one for a spin; here are our impressions. The ProtoArc EM25 is a $49.99 mouse, but right now, during Prime Day 2026, you can get it for just $37.99. Right off the bat, you can see that the EM25 is inspired by Logitech's MX Master lineup and the legendary MX Master 3/3S. Its shape and proportions are very similar, so for a person with large hands (right-handed person, mind you), the EM25 is very comfortable to use. The mouse fills the palm, and the thumb rests on a small extension, giving your wrist a small tilt to reduce strain. The mouse is made of black plastic without any coating, eliminating long-term wear concerns. However, I can see the main buttons and other areas you touch the most getting polished over time. Despite its size and bulk, the mouse is not too heavy. It weighs about 100 grams, which is significantly less than the MX Master 3S and its successor. It is no lightweight gaming mouse by any means, but it is not excessively heavy like the MX Master 4. The EM25 has a built-in storage for its USB dongle. It is a cleverly made magnetic flap that you open by simply pressing on it. Next to the flap, you will find the on/off switch, the 1,000 Hz sensor, and a DPI button (up to 8,000 DPI). I find the DPI button location a bit odd, and I would prefer it somewhere below the main scroll wheel. Still, given that I never change DPI on my mice, I will let it pass. What is more important is that, unlike MX Master 3/3S/4, the device switch button is located below the left-click button, which allows you to switch devices without lifting and flipping the mouse. For a multi-device setup, this is a perfect solution: the button does not require too much effort to use, it does not get in your way, but it is also easily reachable with your thumb. The main scroll wheel has two modes: ratcheted and free-flow. You can only change between them with a bright orange button (I like this little touch of color), which is sprung and requires some effort to press. The wheel is dead-silent in free-flow mode, but ratched is quite loud and stiff, perhaps even too much to my liking. I can hardly call it deal-breaking, but it will certainly take some time to get used to. The side scroll wheel, it is notched, silent, and pleasant to use. Next to it, you can find a piece of glossed plastic with connection indicators: Dongle, Bluetooth 1, Bluetooth 2, and the low battery indicator. By the way, the built-in battery is rechargeable via a USB Type-C cable, which is included. It is sleeved and has an orange velcro strap to keep it tidy. After using the EM25 for a few weeks, I can say that its main buttons are my absolute favorite. They have very pronounced clicks, which feel great with just the right amount of force required to register a press. I would say they feel like something in between regular mouse clicks and silent ones. You can hear and feel the springy switch, but it is not sharp or loud to the point of annoying you. As for back/forward and device switch buttons, they are very clicky and quite noisy. Unfortunately, there are no extra buttons that you can map to specific things like in the MX Master lineup. Besides great primary clicks, another thing I like about the EM25 is its 1,000 Hz sensor. In the world, where Logitech still uses 125 Hz sensors in $100+ mice, seeing a much faster sensor in a mouse that costs three times less is very refreshing. Also, all the settings and customization you make are stored on-device, and you do not need to install any software. Just open the web-based app and change all that you need. Speaking of customization, you can remap what buttons do, adjust the DPI, and the sensor speed. Sadly, gestures are not supported, but you can still map pretty much anything to each button, including shortcuts, media buttons, and more. I also recommend using software like XMouseControl, as it will let you remap the side scroll wheel. At the end of the day, the ProtoArc EM25 is a great mouse. Clearly inspired by the MX Master lineup, it takes the best of it and complements it with a much more wallet-friendly price tag, significantly better sensor, on-device memory, a built-in storage for the dongle, and more (it fixes everything that I complained about the MX Master 4 recently). And for only $37.99 during Prime Day, the EM25 is an easy recommendation. Buy ProtoArc EM25 mouse - $37.99 | 24% off with Prime As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
