Maybe its me or maybe its not....I stay pretty in tune with the news , on tv and on the interweb. I have learned to draw all my on conclusions . Which brings me to this. In light of all the events that have happened since Boston...The fertilizer plant ,middlefield ohio, Louisiana, and the few others I cant remember at the moment. What makes Boston so special? What about the fertilizer plant that has now become a bombing...and is still being considered a possible missile...JDAM missile to be exact. More people died and more were hurt. Or the Gun wielding lunatic in middlefield that committed suicide via police. AK 47 and explosives in that car but seemed to be swept under the rug...Louisiana will have its moment to but will still be overshadowed by Boston. Why Boston? Historical American town? The marathon? Ignorant media reporting? No, Im not being insensitive or disrespectful here....just would like to know why boston overshadows all.

Most gain for the event to be used politically.

I somewhat agree on this one Nebrio, except I haven't heard that Texas has been determined to be a bombing or JDAM or anything else for that matter. Last I heard on it was they hadn't determined a cause on it yet and were conducting a criminal investigation to determine whether it was a accident or criminal act.

Now here's my beef. The feds set up a special victims compensation fund for famalies of 9/11 to the tune of $7,000,000,000 at taxpayer expense. Yet the famailes of all the other acts of terrorisim such as Boston, Oklahoma City, Bengazi and all the other embassey bombings have had to rely on victims funds financed by private donations. What's the difference that made 9/11 victims more special? Why did 9/11 victims qualify for publicly financed compensation funds when the others don't?

I don't want to sound insensitive or uncaring toward any of the victims, but IMO none of these victim funds should be taxpayer financed. But if we're going to do it for one set of victims, then we should do it for ALL of them.
