Re: 2 large explosions at Boston Marathon
See that's the thing. People want to decide for themselves what is and isn't relevant. They think they can mention the IRA because the IRA used bombs and bombs went off in Boston yesterday. And they think they can mention "Irish Car Bomb" and also mention that Americans (including Bostonians) raised money for the IRA. And then they think that should be the end of it because they've had their joke, made their insinuations and snide comments, and now no-one else should take it any further. Er - sorry - but this is an open forum and you don't get to decide what is and what isn't relevant when you start making stupid comments that, ironically, really were not relevant at all to begin with.
If you just want an argument, then they can be had in TIO by the dozen. I think you need to calm down.

Have you actually read and understood what people have actually said or are you just coming up with rubbish in your head? Because you're not making any sense what so ever.

Re: 2 large explosions at Boston Marathon
BBC/CNN flashed it as breaking news, but now it has been retracted. Lots of press oitside the courthouse but no solid confirmation that I can find.

@Boston_Police: Despite reports to the contrary there has not been an arrest in the Marathon attack.
Yep, here we go. No arrest.
