anyone who feels like describing what could have been responsible for any of this (at this juncture) should just not be allowed on the airwaves ever really

i'm scared to death of attending very large gatherings for this particular reason

The odds of you dying in a car accident are like a million times greater than getting killed in an event like this, yet I bet, you get in a car nearly everyday.

besides each probability of death, these two are hardly comparable.

I have slightly more control of my life in a vehicle than i do bottle necked in a crowd like this with a millions factors in play. In my vehicle, I am aware of my surroundings every second and can attempt to brace for a situation or accident. Are they both dangerous? Yes. Hell, someone can walk into my home and shoot me in the head right now if they really wanted to. But you get the point I hope

Can we save the discussion about your poor risk assessment skills for another day?

Wondered tht myself. Just saw a live PC that said they don't know how many. No clue where 12 comes from

Representative from JFK library says no injuries there.

I agree with you Kruker. Your friend of a friend is apparently unaware that when chaos ensues...chaos ensues. Yet s/he assumes SOMEone "knows" & is skewing "the" story

Agreed.

Wasn't the JFK library explosion a denotation by police/law enforcement?

by **drsmooth** » Mon Apr 15, 2013 17:06:46

speaking of high standards, the assness of Chris Matthews is practically impossible to calculate
