If that poor guy had actually been holding or standing next to the bomb, he wouldn't have been in any shape to run away (along with the crowd of white people who were doing the same). Since then, the online white supremacist lobby have been combing through pictures of the audience looking for people who look Muslim, and publicly labeled a 17-year-old boy as the apparent bomber solely because his skin was olive. Anonymous above thinks even-handedness requires equal condemnation of left-wing and right-wing conclusion-jumping; well, no left-wingers that I know of have gone through the crowd photos and publicly accused any white man with a flag T-shirt and a beer gut of being the killer.<br /><br />Someone mentioned Richard Jewell above. I recall that the authorities and media only started trying to frame Jewell after they failed in an early attempt to pin it on some Palestinian-Americans from Texas. They were seen getting into a car and driving away after the Olympic Park bombing. Of course that was suspicious, because no white people did anything similar. <br /><br />DeweyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-41191519772122653032013-04-18T16:10:06.445-05:002013-04-18T16:10:06.445-05:00..."an event IS not"...

Really, "a tragedy is like a storm or something"? Are you saying that an event are not tragic simply because it is a result of human intention? Let's try to convince the victims, friends and relatives of that.<br /><br />By that definition war is not a tragedy, genocide is not a tragedy, fucking "Othello" would not be a tragedy!<br /><br />O'Reilly is just once again blowing out his ass what normally comes therefrom. He is making an embarrassingly clumsy attempt to find fault with something (everything) O'Bama said. And in the process he is trying to redefine the English language.

In situations like this, I would hope that the POTUS would not use terms like 'terror' and 'terrorist' which have very loaded emotional associations in the 21st Century, until a good deal about just what did happen is known. Once we have a better idea of what did happen, it will be time for using those terms.
