Scary sounding stuff (explosions) at Boston Marathon

@SkyNewsBreak: Reuters: Police have confirmed another explosion at JFK library in Boston in U.S.

I was driving home from work in Charlestown soon after the first two bombs went off and must have been driving on the expressway pretty near to the JFK museum just as this possible third one went off - it seems a big coincidence if that was an unrelated fire, although the museum is miles away from the Back Bay where the marathon finishes. And if I hadn't been working today, no question: the missus and I would have been at Fenway Park and then gone to join the crowds watching the marathon, exactly like we did two years ago.

Any murder is awful but the news that one of the victims might have been eight years old is heartbreaking.

No sympathy for Boston. They openly supported the IRA and ultimately that lead to the death of British troops as well as countless innocent people.

I'm fairly sure the dead eight year old boy didn't support the IRA. :tosser:
Crass, badly timed, and incredibly poor taste, from Aseros (and Danny Baker, for that matter).

But there is a debate to be had here at some point, because the obvious answer to your point Bakero would be:-

3 year old Johnathan Ball & 12 year old Tim Parry didn't want to 'die of the cause' in Warrington, either.

One man's freedom fighter is another man terrorist.
But as said, now certainly isn't the time for that debate.

Needless comment.

Innocent victims are innocent victims no matter the motives. I really don't see what debate is to be had at this time or another.
