It is confusing to me why anyone would go watch a marathon in the first place.
Those folks make a day of it...usually go to the Sox game then down to watch the end of the race. It is Patriots Day there.

We can't talk about it here? It's kinda what we do.
You are asking me how many more of these we have to have...I have no idea, go ask someone who can answer that question. It's kind of what you do if you want to help make some changes.

It is the day of the year there. One of the ladies I was at that Legislative Summit with works at Harvard, and she told me that the city just damn near shuts down for it.

So, how many more until we change it? Do we have to live in constant terror like the people in Syria? Are we going there as a country? Or do we cut it off and make changes for the better now?
Freedom is better than security.

And since we're not anywhere close to Syria, it's not relevant to begin discussing making changes.

That's the problem. We are giving up freedoms because of jackholes like this 19 year old misguided Russian dickface. How many more? But, you know what, I know you're going to go high and right with the constitution thing, so I'm out. I'm just too idealistic for this, I suppose.

Flushing a guy's rights and sending him straight to the injection table is hardly idealistic.

It is also confusing to me why anyone would participate in a marathon.

Yeah, the scumbag gets his day in court. There are lots of rebel flag waving idiots that do stuff like this while being white. They get their due process.

Even though Islam is quickly becoming the biggest threat to our way of life, he still gets his day in court. You can't throw out everything this country was founded on to satisfy anger.

Islam in a thousand years will never surpass our own politicians and ignorance as the biggest threat to our way of life.
