Bomb attack in Boston

[Nhoj]

Pretty sure that graphic pictures (ah, language) are deemed 'not o.k' for the same reason that swearing is.

Nobody gives a sh**t what you deem to be ok and not ok.  Go ahead, start infracting people for posting links to images of this tragedy.  It'll make you really super popular.  You're pathetic.  Infract me up to 11.  I'd welcome the points over this issue.

Pretty sure hes saying it violates the ToS. Also Al cant infract you here, he can only do that on his board.

[J. J.]

I debated whether or not to post this picture, but I will.

EXTREMELY GRAPHIC: DO NOT VIEW IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH. Some of the aftermath.

What the hell is that? i see the leg but the other thing.

That is the leg above the knee.

Al really has no business being a moderator. These images are part of the history that the United States lived through today.

Looks like there's a head in that picture, too.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

We should seriously ban teenagers from posting here.

if Al wanted me infracted, he'd get his way.

And I'm pretty sure bombing civilians violates the law.  Why should we be beholden to ToS in this specific instance.  What an odd and ridiculous time to choose to enforce the ToS.   But please.. go ahead.... censor the tragedy.

And for Al:  No, not a bad day.  We don't need you to frame this tragedy through the pile of sardonic cynicism you call your personality.

You can find the graphic stuff on hundreds of other sites. They don't belong or need to be here.

Would you have supported posting the photos of Newtown corpses as they are part of American history?

[Sopranos Republican]

CNN says one of those killed was an 8 year old boy. As if this couldn't get any worse.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Someone lock this thread.

Someone lock this thread.

But where will your pictures of dogs go?

Was the Newtown attack aired live on TV, with hundreds of people watching it in person at a public event?

So now two 8 year olds are dead?

Why? If the Thatcher thread survived, this certainly can. Nothing wrong was posted here.

I'm afraid the Atlas Forum is just gonna have to tough it out

[Donerail]

Back on topic: the Globe says a PoI who was hurt in the explosion was being questioned at Brigham and Woman’s Hospital.

Well, in that case.. why are we even discussing this here?  Surely there are other, better sites for national tragedies... I guess once you've seen the insides of someone you love as they nearly go mad from the pain.... you take offense when people try to censor this.  You think the people near the bomb got a ToS compliant view of the tragedy?  

When people like you defend people like Al about rules and regulations in situations like this.. it does nothing but breed resentment and make light of the situation.  "Oh, it was a tragedy.. but I just can't stomach seeing body parts!  I'm so terribly weak.. and you know!  Rules and regulations!"

There is a time and a place, indeed.

So is there a suspect or not?  Seems to be conflicting reports

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Hey man, I posted that to cheer some of you up

Sorry for trying to be a contributor

I'm not complaining about so called "graphic images" but your argument is a bit ridiculous.

OK, so that one was pointless.

Like the JFK fire/explosion, the police don't seem to know themselves .

Not in custody, but suspicious.

So have you missed the repeated airing of the bomb ripping through the crowd that CNN has played over and over again? Of the bloodied people running from the smoke? Should CNN have cut away when the World Trade Center collapsed on live TV, when every person watching knew thousands of people were still inside?

I am not advocating people posting these images persay, I am just disputing why they should not be allowed.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Obviously there's a lot of confusion right now and you can't really trust the breaking news as it comes.

Unfortunately, only time will tell.  That's not what we want to hear.

[7,052,770]

Anderson Cooper just said to be on the lookout for a black man with an accent.

Lot of detail there, CNN...

No.  But we shouldn't show pictures of it here... ToS.  There are plenty of other websites on which to see the trade towers collapse.
