It is just very sad what happened in Boston. No words to describe it. I'm glad that you and yours are safe Scruffy.
There were thirteen that were to run in the marathon from the Tulsa area. I haven't heard any word that any of them were victims of the blasts yet.

I just read that 2 other victims were 2 brothers aged 31 and 33. They were both laid off recently from their jobs as roofers and they both lost a leg in the bombing.

I feel sorry for your city David... =( I'd probably take up arms against those bastards if Bordeaux was targeted...
Haven't they caught the perpetrator yet?

Marathon was probably easier target, not much security and too many people.

Sorry if this is offensive to anyone...

but...

A while ago i started a thread when a bomb exploded destroying the Police Station about 250 yards away from my home.
The thread was removed because it was 'politics'.


http://alizeeamerica.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5560


Could one of the mods please explain to me the difference??

The mod who closed your thread is not a mod now, for one thing. And the policy seems to be a bit more lax these days.

I will say that the mods are not wrong to assume such threads will eventually turn into some political/religious debate though. The recent thread about a movie theatre shooting in Colorado was allowed to stay open for a while until it was finally closed because it had turned into a religious debate. I think the mods now are willing to let these discussions play out their usefulness and only intervene if the discussion turns south. And in fairness, the first reply in your thread mentioned religion. I'm sorry to see that your thread was closed before anyone could add any genuine comments, but I see the newer policy as an improvement not an act of bias. I'm sure if you made the same thread now it wouldn't be shut down immediately.

Scruffy, you can call the librarian at the French Cultural center at 617-912-0417. It would be great to get them tuned in to our girl. Great idea.

There WAS a lot of security Merci. They did several bomb sweeps however the planter was able to successfully plant the bomb after the last sweep.
