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BBC/CNN flashed it as breaking news, but now it has been retracted.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.
