Two more bombs being disarmed, one more they blew up in a controlled blast of water. Terrible attack.
Hannity reported a LEO stated there were more than 12 dead, dozens seriously injuries. I'm sure they have to collect body parts and sort it out.

I assume you are using the term "human being" loosely.

Very sad...amazes me that our government was caught off guard considering all the security improvements over the last several years. It's to the point that any large event with hundreds of people in one place is potentially dangerous....wish it were otherwise.

Sad day for Canadians and Americans alike. Prayers go out to those that are suffering from this senseless display of cowardice.

Don't know if it's Domestic or Foreigh based. We just have to be careful of profiling so we don't offend anyone. I guess we need more political discussion and understanding of the LARGE picture.


WHile NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT "GOD BLESS" and I will pray for the all that were murdered, hurt as well as their families.
