Truly awful. Not been able to get news on my friends, but seems to be mostly public who were injured.

The world is going mad.....Horrific !

Anarchy in the UK too all because an old lady passed away with several incidents over the last week where public disorder has broken out in the streets/football matches in which innocent people/police/horses have been attacked & injured.....CRAZY !

Thanks H - phone network in the area is jammed, but keeping up to date with F/B and twitter. They do have their positives.

It will be some stupid "cause" that makes these murders justifiable in the eyes of the perpetrators :evil:

That gentle sound of a deflating sigh was the noise created as my last vestige of faith in humanity disappeared.

Sickening & disturbing.

Makes it hard to not live your life in fear but if you do, then they have won & your life is less worthwhile.

So much respect for emergency service and helpers at incidents especially such big brutal ones as this.

I couldn't do it, seen some images online and I felt like passing out & what i've seen will be probably 1% of the reality.

so Far 2 confirmed fatalities and 23 injured but that is only official coming out of Boston.

Most media sources are saying about 100 injured now.
