Yes, I know that these are "tailored to me" based on who I follow, but I changed it to United States and Muslim is still there.
How sad, that on a day like today and a time like this we don't see "heroes" or "first responders" or "give blood". How about the emergency contact numbers, why isn't that trending? There are so many other things to be reporting or talking about, but one of the biggest things the major networks are focusing on is the fact that President Obama didn't say "terror". Casually slip in that a person that may be Saudi may be being questioned because he was running from the explosion, and the result is what we now see on twitter. Pretty sad.
Even more sad is this nasty tweet by Eric Rush. He said he was being sarcastic, and then proceeded to insult and hurl profanities at anyone challenging him.
The act committed today was horrible and my heart goes out to everyone affected by this. It is so disheartening to have to have such ignorance on public display as a result.

If you are losing faith in human nature, go out and watch a marathon.
