PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
The following is not intended as disrespect to the dead and their families: as a terrorist attack, this would be incompetent. If this was deliberate (and I'll leave a tiny chance of gas explosion or the like on the board for now), then those responsible could have conceivably planted bigger charges, timed things to get more people, and wouldn't you place this near the starting line for maximum carnage, setting it off just after the race began? But if you mainly wanted to get police, medical, and fire responders, you'd start with a relatively small charge, get everyone in the area, and then trigger the major explosion.
I'm dearly hoping I'm wrong and this is simple incompetence -- or accident. And I'm sure someone else has thought of this -- dozens of them, some on the scene. But until they clear the zone...
By the way, do not read any commentary sections on this story. The trolls are out in force and warpainting their faces with innocent blood.
