2013 Boston Marathon Bombings

I've got about 80000 points with Southwest, how can I help? (self.boston) 388 Ye submitted 16 hours ago* by DEM-DRY-BONES Hey everyone, I posted this on the 2nd main thread here11. Here's the repost "I've got about 70000 (actually over 80k) points with Southwest. If you know of any runners/families that need to get home quick/quicker than originally planned, I'm willing to do what I can. I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this, please direct me to where I can offer this assistance if not. For that matter, anyone who needs to get TO Boston, as well." Travel in the area is going to be difficult right now, so I'm not fully sure what to expect. For reference, a cheap roundtrip is about 12k points. Right now it looks like a one-way out of Boston, tomorrow, would be almost 30k I also have enough for a night or two at a Marriott-chain hotel EDIT: And a $100 voucher I forgot about from a stupid 6 hour delay in San Diego EDIT EDIT: Someone gifted me Reddit Gold from the main thread, so thanks for that! EDIT EDIT EDIT: /u/robertsonwxca offered their miles as well Main thread for help with lots of offers for flights, hotels, etc. is here http://www.reddit.com/r/inthenews/comments/1cfdwa/boston_marathon_explosions_live_update_thread_4/c9fybxl 13] 28 comments share source save hide report hide all child comments buffer

Patton Oswalt's Facebook Status Update

I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths. But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me) This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness. But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, "The good outnumber you, and we always will."$
