4 other HOMEMADE SMALL bombs planted around Boston! So probably not North Korea or the whole of fucking Islam then!!?Can't believe this, especially with all the Newtown families... I am losing all hope of the world being at all humane...I am actually getting really angry at all the Boston-unrelated tweets! Sorry, I know people have other things going on but TV is definitely less important than 2 deaths and 22 injuries. Who gives a fuck about some Ollie Cheska bullshit?And let's not say this doesn't affect you, cause this affects humanity and our planet as a whole. And Made in Chelsea does not. Not surprised that we have bombings at marathons if the world decides to blame a race for them. Let's make black people slaves again too.Cause apparently being a prejudiced dickhead is the normal in this society.

The attack on Boston

The recent attack on Boston is a terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to all victims and their families.

This is exactly what the Idea is against. What was once a normal annual event, will now forever be marked as a day of remorse. The people of the world should not have to live in fear of this. Whoever did this will come to justice, I'm sure of it.

What I am grateful for are all the selfless people running to the aid of the victims. They didn't run away, they turned and stood up to show that they are not afraid. That this will not make them falter. Even the marathon runners after finishing the race, continued running to the hospital to donate blood. It is these kinds of little things that will make a huge difference.

For Boston!

Up until today, I've thought of Boston (foolishly) as some type of secondary metropolis; that was somehow immune to these kinds of attacks. These kinds of things happen in "big" cities. Not my city. My city is beautiful, bustling but inwardly cheerful...safe. The idea of that safety was stolen from all of us Bostonians today.

But you know what? Things that are stolen can be found, and they are ours to take back. We're sad today, and vulnerable. But we're Boston, and if there's any city that's tough, it's ours – it’s us. Hell, we put us with hellish weather for at least half of the year, just for one day in the sun. We can do this.

We can’t fully prevent horrible tragedies like this, but we can vow not to let fear of them overtake us. My thoughts are with all those hurt, in any way, by this tragedy. I hurt for my city, but certainly not in the way that others were (and do) hurt. Boston, you’re my home and I love you always.

Tragedies will always happen, fingers point to blame. Without any real evidence, isn't that that the wrong mind to frame?
