I'm going to go with a "too soon" for Obamacare jokes about an event that killed and maimed innocent people, including an 8-year-old boy. I'm also going to go with a "too soon" for a thread entitled "Watertown" with a gun control angle.
My memories of the effects of IEDs are intense and haven't faded all that much since Afghanistan, and seeing those recent Boston pictures hasn't helped. It was, though, what I signed up for in many ways by entering the profession of arms. People coming to run in, and volunteer at, and cheer for, a joyful athletic event didn't sign up for it. Joking about this or using the event as a bullet point in a larger political debate, while wholly within the bounds of free speech (internet or SA forum or regular variety), just rubs me the wrong way.
Thanks.
