Salon: "Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American "

That's sick, who would want to watch that?

Sick is exploding pressure cookers in the midst of innocent people during a marathon. Sick is the media looping the explosion over and over from different angles so that people can watch innocent people being ripped apart by shrapnel.
Did you watch that on the news?

No I do not, I agree both of those are sick, along with the idea of public execution.

Yes. There is no differentation between watching death take place.

There are plenty of people who would love to bring back public executions. They are bloodthirsty, self-righteous psychopaths.

I'm sure there are rules about personal attacks on this forum. Even in the subtle delivery of them.

Meanwhile, that comment just insulted everyone and God in the old testament. And the new. WTG!

I don't remember literally seeing people being ripped apart. Hyperbole?

Just heard on CNN the police told them it was a dark skinned male (african). Not that it's reliable.

The stills from a stores video are widespread by now. A salt and pepper team. Looks like a white guy and a light skinned black.

Nothing to indicate Arab involvement at this point, but plenty of sites saying there is Arab/Islamic involvement.

It's my opinion of those who want to go and watch people being put to death. Did God want to watch people being put to death? Not in any Bible I have read.

My favorite part of the article is the graphic they use, on one side McViegh and the other OBL. It's almost as if the author doesn't know the difference between them, much less remember the accusations tossed towards conservatives after OKC bombing.

I would like to think that the American public in general is smart enough not to blame a single ethnicity for this regardless of who did it at this point.

The majority likely are. Unfortunately there is a minority who will blame anyone in the same group.

As far as I know, most executions have observers ranging from law enforcement personnel to D.A's to the families of the victims. Can you explain what makes those people psychopaths?

How do you determine Islamic involvement from a still photo?

Generally speaking, when people stone other people to death, they are watching them die. It would be hard to stone them if you didn't watch

Has there been a situation in the past where the American public blamed a single ethnicity for such an act?

Are these people trying to bring back public executions?

Parts of the American public, or the American public as a whole?

She specifically referenced anyone wanting to watch death. The observers I mentioned would be included in that category.
