The Boston Bombings B-side, the other side of the Boston marathon bombings story.

Synopsis
Some very nasty people decided to plant some bombs at the 2013 Boston marathon. 3 people died as a result of the bombs and nearly 200 injured, some of them seriously. There was of course outrage at this, and the general feeling that "something must be done." and that the perpetrators must be caught "no matter who else gets hurt." probably with the words for the children mixed in somewhere.

In a situation like this internet warriors were finger pointing and making random accusation based upon the scientific methods known as revenge and blind panic. There were of course friendly fire victims caught in the cross-fire.


 * Two men, minding their own business were thrown off a plane for being bi-lingual and speaking Arabic which caused fear amongst mono-linguistics.
 * A female physician was flummoxed when a man in street approached her and eloquently shouted "Fuck you Muslims! You are terrorists! I hate you! You are involved in the Boston explosions! Fuck you!" Dr A******* afterwards said "“Oh my lord, I was extremely shocked.”
 * A plane flying 300 miles from Philadelphia to Boston was stopped on the runway on landing, and all the baggage checked, because one bag had been missed before take off. Now who in their right minds searches for bombs after a plane has landed, unless they are panicking?
