And it's started, though not unexpected: the haters and the lunatic fringe are crawling out of their caves in response to the tragic bombing during the Boston Marathon that has so far killed three- including an 8-year-old child- injured and maimed many more, some critically.
Let's start with the Muslims, some of whom are celebrating the carnage.
From Jordon, Mohammed al-Chalabi of a banned al-Qaeda-linked extremist Salafi group said he was
"...happy to see the horror in America." "American blood isn't more precious than Muslim blood." "Let the Americans feel the pain we endured by their armies occupying Iraq and Afghanistan and killing our people there."
We have no information yet as to who the perpetrators might be, though I have my suspicions. There has been speculation on the left that it was some crazed right-wing extremist, others are placing bets that it was a terrorist attack by Muslims, though
some are praying it's not the latter.
Libyan Twitter user Hend Amry appears to have been the one to start the thread with her tweet: “Please don’t be a Muslim.”
Her post was retweeted by more than 100 Twitters users including the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Jenan Moussa, a journalist for Dubai-based Al-Aan TV also retweeted Amry’s message, adding that she was simply stating “the thought of every Muslim right now.”
I don't blame them. I know I'm praying "please don't be a conservative."
Then we have the lunatic fringe commencing with their "false flag" and "Zionist" conspiracy theories. Some on the
FuckIsrael Facebook page (which hates Muslims as much as they hate Israel) are talking about "the Zionists" being responsible for
the Boston bombing.
Then there are these swift-minded
prepper dolts:
Bomb squad was running “controlled explosion” on the same day
What’s not yet being reported by the mainstream media is that a “controlled explosion” was under way on the same day as the marathon explosion.
As the Boston Globe tweeted today, “Officials: There will be a controlled explosion opposite the library within one minute as part of bomb squad activities.”
Uh, no! Here are the
Boston Globe Tweets:
No, Prepper dude, the "controlled explosion" was
not underway on the same day as the Marathon, the "controlled explosion" was
part of the efforts
AFTER the initial two bombs exploded, once they discovered a third bomb had, thankfully, not detonated.
Then you have
the fools (and
this one) who claim that there was a Facebook Page created two days
BEFORE the actual bombing, so it must have been some nefarious government plot. The page conveniently no longer exists.
And neither does Brooke Longobardi, at least on Facebook.
So many idiots and haters in this world.
