Dear Celtics players,

This has been a devastating and difficult week in Boston. As a city we have witnessed incredible violence as well as incredible kindness. On Tuesday, for security reasons and out of respect for those who were killed, injured and affected by the attack, your game against the Pacers was cancelled. We are writing this to ask you whether you would be willing to donate the money you would have made that night (1/82 of your salary) to One Fund Boston, a charity set up to pay for the medical bills and support those who were affected by Monday's bombings. It would mean so much.

Sincerely, David Kalman and Rachel Kalman

Boss's sister lives in the boston area. She has been texting him throughout the day. She spoke with a couple officers who let her know that bombs are being found in neighborhoods, but residents are not being evacuated. They weren't specific about why not, but the impression she had was that they who set them up would wait for evacuations and then detonate.

Spent all day hearing: "Oh did you hear they found the guys who bombed the Boston marathon!" "Yeah, didn't they say they were Chechnya or something like that!"

Why does it matter that the bomber was Chechnya? Shouldn't we be asking questions about the motives or organizations before we ask for their nationality so we can add another nationality for everyone to blame and call out!

What I mean is, let's not have a repeat of other news event subreddits (r/dornercase for example) turning into a medium to express conspiracy theories or other negative ideas. Keep it positive, informative, rational, thoughtful, caring, and loving. Keep the posts objective; comments are for opinions or speculation. It's been an emotional day for everyone across the country, but let's try and take the positives out of the situation...the people who survived, the first responders, FBI, president, mayor, cowboy guy, etc and remember we are surrounded by these people everyday.

Just a thought, since there's probably people who CAN'T stay and pick up belongings, maybe set up something for them to say what they lost and how to contact them? Just a thought.

Holy crap... after lurking on reddit for years it took this to spur me into posting. My eyes are burning, my brain is spinning, and yet I still can't stop refreshing reddit to find something new. So, I feel the need to vent. :sigh:

I want... need... to see the video of Jahar (because I can't spell his first name) dropping the bag at the second bomb site. I need to see the video of him walking casually away after the explosion. I need to see the video of them and their encounter with Officer Collier. I need to see a live interview with the carjack victim. I need to see a live interview with the naked guy they released. I need to see an interview with the old man (or his family if he did die) who had the deadman's switch in his hand.

Not because I necessarily think either of the Tsarnaev brothers are innocent. But because the fact that it/they were all there/cited... and then just poof never produced or mentioned again... it makes me really uncomfortable.

We'll also never see the dash cam videos of the Watertown shoot out or the rest of the helicopter footage of Jahar's capture.

Not being facetious reddit peeps BUT I feel I can clearly see him raise his right hand to his jaw and shoot in that last white hot sequence? Looks as if he does that and then a white hot (thermal) impression appears on the opposite side of his face? Thought, opinions?
