    Any links to dubious twitter feeds and pictures of people who probably aren't the suspect?

    Ugh! Terrible! It's hard to imagine how deranged someone would have to be to think:

    1) This is worth doing to further my ideology.

    2) This will further my ideology.

    People dead and maimed for no reason whatsoever.

    They're a centre left progressive party.

    So this bombing likely is Islamic extremism?

    Reminds me of a headline from the Onion that went something like:

    "The equivalent of 9 Americans died today in Pakistan"

    If the entire city goes into lockdown and we get another GTA style shootout, car chase, level 6 wanted level thing it might hit the pages.

    Some vegans would view all life as equal, who say they would be just as upset no matter what life was lost.

    There was far less coverage of the ant massacre I carried out last year, I must have killed a few hundred. None of the papers & tv stations were interested in my story, Reuters actually laughed at me. Perhaps people are not as interested, so they don't think it will sell papers, maybe they figured this out from past historical sales figures when they covered such stories.

    Why on earth is this getting more news coverage in Pakistan than the Boston bombings? This is outrageous, how dare they cover a story more closely because it effects them more >:(. I'm going to write an angry letter.

    Why do people need to keep hammering out the "WHY DON'T YOU CARE!?!" sentiment?

    I'm fairly keeping up to date with what's happening in Syria, for example, because I look for news on it. I don't give a shìt if others around me haven't a clue what's going on down there, that's their business.

    Oh, and using the death of people to push a personal agenda is shallow, shows you equally care as much as the people you're waving your self-righteous finger at.

    Are you comparing ants to Pakistanis? Or that you think the ants are more deserving of the media attention.

    An attack on a political rally of the Pakistan Peoples Party has killed at least six people and injured dozens more.
