Subject: [socialistdiscussion] More on Boston Marathon bombing


  

It is now reported that one suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing has been killed by police and another is being sought. Boston's public transit system has been shut down and people in the general area where the second suspect is being sought are being ordered to stay indoors. In fact, as far away as Los Angeles, the Cal. State University at Los Angeles is being shut down for the day.


In case anybody had any doubt, we can see where this is headed -- towards a ratcheting up of suspicion of one's neighbor or just a passerby on the street, a further expansion of the surveillance state, etc.


Meanwhile, coverage of the West, Texas fertilizer plant explosion - which was far, far more destructive, is buried by the media here. (As is the story of life under drones, of course.) 


I posted a photo of the carnage of that explosion and a comparison of that to the Boston Marathon bombing on the WIN facebook page. Within 24 hours over 300 people have "seen" it. I have also posted a follow-up ironic story on the issue.
