The first entry appeared at 5:39 p.m., only a few hours after the explosions occurred. The most recent entry (as of this writing) comes two hours later, at 7:40. More than 4,000 people put their personal information on the Internet for everyone to see because they wanted total strangers to come over to their houses and rest and feel better. Think about that.

The list is endless,

Bit odd isn't it? I mean it's a shame and all but I wouldn't want some sweaty runner sleeping on my couch and eating my food.

Just one more reason to never run a marathon

Someone has already said this, and I like it a lot:

So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, "The good outnumber you, and we always will.

that was Patton Oswalt and the entire post is here on his Facebook.

Boston. Fucking horrible.

I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, "Well, I've had it with humanity."

But I was wrong. I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.

But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness.

But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.

I bet a lot of people had that same thought in Rwanda and at Auschwitz …

These where not pipe bombs. These where IED type devices made using Pressure Cookers.

a few news sites are reporting they have arrested a suspect

http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2013/04/17/boston-marathon-bombs-circuit-pressure-cooker.html

Boston police say that despite earlier reports to the contrary, there has been no arrest made in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings.

Does sound like they've ID'd a suspect from some security cams though.

Kn.

There's a good play-by-play of latest news from various sources here: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/04/17/boston-bombing-suspect-identified-more-breaking-updates.html

Pretty good picture of modern news reporting: must be the 1st to post an update (double-checking sources comes in second)
