Were you surprised that the Boston Marathon bombing happened in Boston?

I did not expect the Boston Marathon bombing to happen anywhere other than where the Boston Marathon is run.

I've lived in Richmond for 24 years. Don't see why it "had to be Richmond".

Translation 1: My 4 years of experience in Richmond trumps your 24 years.

Translation 2: You're an asshole for not being personally affected by someone you don't know getting hit in the head with a bottle.

lots of people live in shitholes but they don't tend to feel that way...

I've travelled all over the world... people everywhere think their country is great, their women beautiful etc.. its human nature

I mean, if we're comparing shit holes, aren't DC, Baltimore, and Richmond constantly bouncing around the top 20 highest murder rates in the country?

If you count murder rates in the "shit hole" categry, of course.

im enjoying the adhd nature of some threads . . . ok all threads in here, that have an inner shelf life of what, three to four posts on the original topic, before it spirals off into some other randomly created topic, what because the original topic isnt cool enough?  the thoughts of how countries feel and acts of terror locations . . . all from some poor singer getting a bottle throw at him a free show?  and nobody even talks about how it was free show?  who does free shows anymore, that you would want to see?  lets see radiohead do a, oh i dont know, a pay what you want concert.

I grew up on a farm in upstate New York where many a neck was red and the women were decidedly not beautiful. I also lived in Baltimore.

But I never got mugged until I lived in Takoma Park, MD, and I never had a beer bottle smashed over my head until I was at a show at the 9:30 Club.
