I don't see the logic of going for big attacks. The bombers would still be alive and unidentified if they picked really soft targets like cafes or bars. Would be much scarier knowing that the next time you go to have a few brews at the pub on the corner you might lose some limbs. Then again I'm not a terrorist.

Top comment of the articleFive people died late Sunday in shootings at an apartment complex near Seattle, including the gunman who was shot by police, authorities said.
A domestic dispute set off the events, said Brian Wilson, chief of police in Federal Way, Washington.
A man got into a fight with a woman with whom he shared an apartment in the Pinewood apartment complex and fatally shot her, he said. The man then went to the parking lot of the apartment complex and fatally shot two men. The relationship between the gunman and the two victims in the lot is unclear, Wilson said. Wilson did not identify the gunman; it was not clear why the identity was withheld.
The gunman then returned to his apartment and retrieved a shotgun, he said. Neighbors who had heard the gunfire came into the hallway, and the gunman shot and killed one of those neighbors through an apartment door, Wilson said. Police intercepted the man on his way back to the parking lot, the police chief said.
Police ordered the man to drop his weapon, but he refused, so the officers shot him, Wilson said. The man then dropped his weapon, continued to the parking lot and obtained another weapon. Police again ordered him to drop his weapon, he again refused, and police shot and killed him.
Eight officers are on administrative leave, as is standard after officers fire at a suspect, Wilson said. The suspect had a valid concealed weapons permit, he said.
When officers arrived at the scene in the city just south of Seattle, they could still hear gunfire, said police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock. They also saw two men lying wounded in a parking lot.
No officers were injured.
and this is why I refuse to mourn dead Boston people. This mind frame is more popular than not among Americans. And if society isn't going to care about the poorest among it then I'm not gong to care about society. I eagerly anticipate the next bombing.If it is the hoodrats, gang bangers and drug dealers shooting each other
dead (in situations where no innocent civilians or children are killed)
I am perfectly fine with this and to quote Ebenezer Scrooge this would
"decrease the surplus population" while helping to reduce time, money
and efforts spent by law abiding citizens and courts from arresting,
prosecuting and jailing the actual parasites of society. (I'd bet the
majoirty of the population would agree...let's see the ratio of thumbs
down to thumbs up - and if you disagree, please explain why instead of
merely clicking down and moving on without a valid argument cause that
just proves you don't have one.)

you are stupid
I am sorry, but...WHAT. My apologies if some sarcasm was lost in translation, but that is just insane. When people die in any, bombing, shooting, or the like, we mourn them, there is no "I am going to make a political statement and not honor these people." No one is saying that by mourning the dead in an attack like this you agree with the way society gives preference to some events over others. I mean no disrespect, but get off your high horse.Macbeth wrote:

I'm just trying to figure out what 'so, no' means. I didn't ask a question. Or a yes or no one anyway.Macbeth wrote:

We mourn some more than others. There is definitely a belief that the poor deserve what they get in this country. It is why people are okay with repressive police tactics like stop and frisk but are willing to go to war over someone asking them to take off their shoes at the airport. America doesn't care about the poor people in it. And I refuse to play the role of a good American and wave a little flag and say "God bless America. Why did the terrorist do this?". If we want to consider ourselves the land of the free and a place of equality for all we either better live up to it or just drop the attitude of greatness. We live in a repressive place and that is why our citizens unleash mass death on each other in the streets. Until we come to terms with the truth about our country and culture I'm staying out of it. So I'll pay my taxes and not cause violence but beyond that I refuse to take part in American society. I refuse to be a hypocrite and go to little community events and donate to the police and thank veterans for blowing up poor people on the other side of the world. And I'm sure as hell not going to mourn the results of America's internal oppression.
