mental health is a black whole into which people who have lead shit lives and are depressed over it get to blame depression (mental health issue) instead of just being accountable for 45 years of shit decision making. there is no opportunity for everyone to ‘heal’ emotionally if it’s a crazy white guy. It’s easier if it’s a brown guy because you can just keep on keepin on. i am not establishing a preference here. ---

EDIT: Actually, I am wrong here. Think this picture below is from the first spot. The pictures with the paper bag have different businesses next to them. Here is a view of that that sidewalk from the buildings on the other side. ![http://i.huffpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/292101/slide_292101_2342856_free.jpg?1366116607743](http://i.huffpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/292101/slide_292101_2342856_free.jpg?1366116607743) Honestly, they are really lucky these were low power explosives that were used. The damage and destruction could have been much worse had these been stronger. Those poor souls that died or lost body parts absorbed a large portion of the blasts, most likely saving countless other people from receiving injuries. ---

But when I see no structure damage to wood, stone, metal next to where the bomb went off, that is not high explosive. Also, just look at the pictures of people in that area, where their clothes are burnt/ripped off of them and minor injuries. ---

No offense, but I am more apt to trust a forensic analyst than you, who admittedly I don’t know your background, but probably isn’t explosives expert. Again, I am not saying it was high explosive, I am merely saying they have not confirmed what type of explosive used yet, but according to one expert who’s job is to analyze these events, says it’s similar to other bombs utilizing high explosives, such as ANFO, C4, etc… ---
