    I'd totally forgotten that fertilizer plant explosion in Texas later that day. Forgot that the VaTech anniversary is this week as well.

    The West fertilizer explosion was on the 17th.

    Virginia Tech doesn't have a focus-group-approved slogan, so it has not been strong in anguish.

    Yeah, I have wondered that, too. Don't they have some sort of suspected motive?

    Yup...and I'm REALLY sick of runners saying their sport was "attacked" and they will "stand strong through this."

    Seems like a lot of runners need a cause for motivation. For example Koman Race for
    The Cure with thousands clad in pink running for a cause.

    One of the weasels was known to authorities to be dead at the time of the shutdown to boot.

    All I'm saying is God help anyone here who tries to make the case that this was a false flag and especially anyone who claims Jeff Bauman was faking.

    Oh god I hope that's not what anybody was alluding to

    I never intimated that, fool.
    Holy mackerel, some of you dudes just see what you want to see, at all times.
    And I am disappointed with the manhunt. I wanted that guy destroyed on sight!
    Not given three squares a day while he tousles his hair and smiles for the nurses.

    Thank you for being a decent human being.
    I'm not talking about anyone on here, but could anybody think that Jeff Bauman is an actor and didn't really lose his legs in the bombing?
    Granted, I haven't spent any time going over photos and videos looking for telltale signs of fakery while some of these people have obviously spent countless hours doing just that, but regardless of what they've found, how can anyone say a guy who lost his legs is faking?
