These bombs were designed to inflict the maximum possible carnage....it is imperative that the perp(s) are caught/tried/convicted of their crimes and I hope we have irrefutable video evidence - given the shear volume of people videoing the Marathon from these locations, I have to believe that we'll see multiple video's released in the social media shortly that helps ID the perp(s).

On a side note, I'm listening to Mut and Merloni / WEEI 93.7 (streamable) - they are doing some great segments with callers who were impacted. A father/son interview was just on...Lou Merloni (local boy who made it to the Red Sox - hit a HR at his first-at-bat in Fenway) is particularly eloquent in sharing his thoughts about this bombing...great radio coverage from these guys.

Actually, it's "Dildos." Just thought I'd point that out. But we do get the picture. kysrsoze Apr 2013 #14

Oops. I did I do a Dan Quayle? slackmaster Apr 2013 #19

No you did not. Dildo and Dildoe are both acceptable. MattBaggins Apr 2013 #33

But the plural is "dildoes" (like "potatoes") Spider Jerusalem Apr 2013 #52
