Over the top. Even the London 7/7 bombings never saw a reaction like this, and it was terrorism on a much larger scale.
I was on a bus the day after the 7/7 bombings. The driver was understandably edgy about an unattended bag, but otherwise, people were pretty easy.
I was in London the day before, always thank my lucky stars I missed it.

It's Monday. What'd Beck say?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I thought Beck the pundit was now as irrelevant as Beck the musician.

Isn't that because you get used to it? It's like anything if it happens often enough you become immune to it.

Don't think there had been much bombing in the years leading up to 7/7. It certainly wasn't a regular occurence by then.

True but most would certainly have been used to previous bombing campaigns.

So, he had nothing. Though I guess he could have revealed more on his 5PM eastern TV show but I don't have Dish Network and certainly wouldn't give Beck any money for an internet subscription. I doubt it was anything of substance unless you are already convinced there is a cover-up.

Are you talking about Martian bases on the moon or freemason control of the global warming scam?

According to a WaPo breaking news alert I got, these guys aren't considered serious candidates for being part of any actual terrorist organization, and their motivation was our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
