How big is the Chechen boxing community?

This is not just a random remark.

Is it a coincidence?

Comment by Lynn D. on April 20, 2013 at 11:47pm: Eh, until proven otherwise, I would prefer to think it's just a coincidence. Very scary!

Comment by Cheryl and Finnegan on April 20, 2013 at 8:19pm: Like everyone else, I'm very sad and mad as hell about what happened in Boston, but I agree with Joanne. Well said, Joanne.

Comment by Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle on April 20, 2013 at 7:12pm: I agree, Joanne.

Comment by Joanne ~ Spud* on April 20, 2013 at 6:50pm: Richard, during times like these, it is so dangerous to find hate and point fingers in ethnicity. It happens in all cultures and many groups. Extreme Beliefs are the danger, not a culture of people.

I worry, that someday in my own nationality, one person will do something to ruin it for the rest. Hated spreads. I could go on and on here as this type of post worries me and I have seen too much of it already today.

This has no place here on DK.
