One of the Washington Post's front-page stories on the Boston bombing had this headline when the story turned to page A7: "After a decade of plots foiled or botched, one success."

Arkansas shooting at recruiting office by a muslim was in 2009, before Fort Hood, in case anyone remembers.

Didn’t see Obama yesterday. Did he do a shout out to anybody?

The 2009 Little Rock recruiting office shooting took place on June 1, 2009, when the American Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, born Carlos Leon Bledsoe, opened fire with a rifle in a drive-by shooting on soldiers in front of a United States military recruiting office in Little Rock, Arkansas. He killed Private William Long, and wounded Private Quinton Ezeagwula. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Little_Rock_recruiting_office_shooting

>>It is surprising that Obama hasn’t called the Boston bombing an act of “sporting event violence”.

I think he’s still hoping it can be blamed on the Republicans. If it turns out to be muzzies responsible, THEN it will be downgraded.

How many police, ATF, FBI, Homeland Security, and other law enforcement personnel were on duty yesterday at the Boston Marathon? What in the hell were they watching? None of them were watching the trash cans? None of them saw a Saudi lugging around duffle bags large enough to hold multiple pressure cookers? Were they only looking at white guys who might be Tea Party members? Why in the hell were there trash cans in close proximity to the marathon route? Somebody dropped the ball here and Napolitano should take full responsibility for this inept security breach.

What’s sick is half of the American people will agree with anything obama says. In fact, most of them don’t have an oppinion until they hear their leader speak? The people who voted for obama and still support him remind me of the North Korean people fawning all over Kim. But, they don’t have a choice. Americans do it willingly.

Fort Hood was “workplace violence” and just proves the need to confiscate all the guns. Boston Marathon will soon be officially dubbed “race hate violence” that proves the need to confiscate all the guns.

“Well, I would have said 14. One of the women was pregnant.”

I have always found it fascinating that babies can be aborted in the womb and in Gosnell’s case out of the womb and no charges are filed for murder. But if someone kills a pregnant woman, they charge the perp with two counts of murder. Just doesn’t make sense does it?

The Boston Bombing was an athletic event incident, just as the Fort Hood shooting was a workplace incident.

It’s only terror attack if the government says so.

We see that civilian police work is winning the War On Terror, and there’s no need for real soldiers to fight any real war. [Little irony and sarcasm there.]

Yes. Here in Florida if you run over a pregnant woman you can be charged with TWO COUNTS of vehicular homicide. Inconsistent, to put it mildly.
