Jogging bad for your health

People whining about not being able to finish the race.

Someone's 8 yo kid died, but hey, I'm sorry you didn't get a crappy medal.

Quan had picked up his bag on Monday but said he'd returned home before he heard that medals were being handed out to the sidelined runners.

"At this point, I feel like I didn't quite finish it. I don't know If I want it," he said. "But at the same time, it's slightly symbolic."

Quan said he may sign up for another race soon to "get over this feeling of incompleteness."

Dear world: Sometimes, the best answer is to not talk to the press.

"It's heartbreaking because you train so hard," runner Paula Smart told ABCNews.com.
...
"I'm angry and I'm disappointed," she said. "But you have to be thankful you have your life and your family."
...
Andrew Quan, 33, of New York City was on track to break a personal record in his third marathon when he was stopped at mile 26, two-tenths of a mile from the finish line.

Because you both can only run 26.2 miles in Boston on the streets in a crowd of other people, otherwise that shit just doesn't count.

People suck.

In related news, they apparently have a suspect. News conference at 5 p.m. EST.

Interesting to see how that works out. Remember Richard Jewell?

The official spoke shortly after several media outlets reported that a suspect had been identified from surveillance video taken at a Lord & Taylor store between the two bomb blasts.

They got vid apparently. Although how they're ID'ing the dude from the vid taken between explosions is a bit of a mystery. Implies someone saw his ass or they got footage from prior.

Ok, let's take bets now. Crazy foreign terrorist or crazy domestic terrorist?

That "backpack seems to be missing" picture, how the fuck can they tell?

They made an arrest.

Can't find anything supporting arrests. I've heard "in custody."

WTH, since no one else is stepping up. I'm going foreigner who has been in the country a while, born elsewhere.

Just for contrast, I'll go Tim McVeigh II.

Yeah, no arrests. The media got ahead of themselves.

It's definitely not an organized attack. I'm guessing one guy trying to make a statement.

His statement seems to be, "I can't afford better explosives nor do I understand how timers work." If it's a homegrown psycho, I'm concerned how this is going to get used as an excuse to expand the government's already bloated list of powers.

Domestic, three guys that are mostly incompetent. One of them missing a couple of toes from early explosives tests.

Let's hope it's a white man. Otherwise, it would be bad, very bad.

I'd positively laugh my ass off if he were North Korean. This level of technological sophistication is just about within their means, if they saved up for a few years.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran, which follows the logic Islam, is opposed to any bombings and killings of innocent people, no matter if it is in Boston, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, or Syria and condemns it,” Ayatollah Khamenei told military commanders in Tehran today, according to his website and Iranian media reports.
...
“What kind of logic is this, that if children and women are killed by Americans in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and by US-backed terrorists in Iraq and Syria, it is not a problem, but if a bombing happens in the US or another Western country, the whole world should pay the cost?” Khamenei said today.

I think he's starting to believe his own press.
