It might just be a robber on the run, which doesn't really have that gun debate zest that a mass shooting would have.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Well, this week fucking sucks.

Seriously, did Earth just spin under some galactic ladder or go by the cosmic equivalent of a black cat? It seems every damn day has had some bad bullshit or another going down, sometimes more than one per day what with the Iraqi bombing and the Boston bombing on the same day.

I think an incident like this is really just part of a normal day on Earth and we're all quite hypersensitive at the moment.

May he rest in peace. It is always tragic when someone loses their life, but it is especially sad to see one fall in the line of duty.

As of 1:38 AM EST it appears to be over.

Reports of IED explosions in Watertown, two suspects in custody. Not sure if events at Watertown are related to MIT shooting, but I'm willing to bet they are. A second officer was shot.

Apparently they're fighting with grenades and a reported pressure-cooker bomb. Lets hope the federal agents can do their ultimate best for the people of Boston and keep the police officer in their memories.

I'm listening on the online radio station broadcasting the police scanner and what we're getting is pretty sparse right now.

Checking out the Reddit, this is just horrible.
