now wait a minute, I think you're putting words into sunfighter's mouth. I don't think that he made any comparisons here to other attacks. I think that what sf meant by the term "political" was that much of the thread has been about things other than the event itself.
When innocent people are hurt, orphaned, killed, etc... I don't care what their nationality is; it's a tragedy. Now I hesitate to say that you have made a vital observation... Because really the "timing" of your comment is bad. This just happen a few hours ago and you got to let the shock of everything subside a little. Give it a few days and then make your point forcefully.
Huh? lol Maybe you form an opinion based on your free will to think for yourself? You watch the media, listen to what happened, and then take away all the bullshit and lies and do some self, logical, thinking... Then you form a decent opinion. You don't just watch the news and agree with what they say, thats what they want you to do. Thats how they stay in control.
if she hasn't forwarded them already, police are allegedly looking for photos from the event and asking people to call 1-800-494-tips if they have them.
I think it'll turn out to be a lone dickweed,maybe with another in collusion. Like the recent shootings in the news. It will be someone that stayed in a hotel close by so that the explosives could be planted after the area was locked down. Just my guess.
Warning: You may not want to listen to this feed unless you are sure of your local laws. This may be an internet stream from a scanner. I'm not sure right at this moment about it. I posted it last night (found the link on another site) because I was mad and wanted to hear of this person, or persons, being caught. This is an internet stream, you are not decoding (or decrypting) the signal, just listening to it on the internet as a stream. In the US, it is legal in some places to listen, in other parts of the US it's ok (only) if you're not listening in order to help someone (or yourself) escape the law.

Strange, but not surprising (or even new). Kind of like they were already on scene in Oklahoma City back in '95. The ATF likely carried out these attacks, too. In fact, I am nearly certain of it. And, as usual, it coincided with a drill. It's so in our faces but so few people want to see the truth.
But they had offices in the Murrah federal building so that almost made sense for at least a few of them to be there. This, not so much.
I think for big events like this all the major "agencies" are brought in to provide security, weapons screening, etc. They probably even "secured" the area days before the event. Which makes me wonder how something like this gets thru.
But they were already dressed in bomb gear when the first responders showed up, stating they were tipped off in advance.
You and Sunfighter both kinda hijacked the thread with your inappropriate, tactless, immature bickering, and seriously, blatant attacks are just not cool.... Blatantly insulting people has nothing to do with liberalism, it's just rudeness. I think part of it is definitely society's growing apathy, but another part is that it's difficult for the human brain to fully comprehend the weight of such a staggering number of deaths; really any number larger than the human brain can handle. That is unsettling. Whatever happened, it's a loss of life, a tragedy. I just don't think a thread about something like this is an appropriate place for hurling insults. In general a forum is a place of debate, not bickering.
