Rebekah Gregory and Pete DiMartino were severely injured in the Boston Marathon bombing of 2013. Amidst their painful recovery, they got engaged. We met with the survivors just a few weeks prior to their wedding to talk about their new lives, struggles, and future together: on.mash.to/1oNp9Ne

[@lonw.7016]

neat mash. the strength of decent people is astounding, hey?

[@carmel350]

I do not believe a word of it, I do believe these people who say they were injured are crisis actors, and a lot of them have been amputee's for years! It was a drill, they shut down the whole town, over 1,000,000 people forced to stay in their homes and forced to have marshal law take over barging into homes like everyone was a damn criminal, this just doesn't happen!

[@ethanpringle7877]

gabrielsyt my aunt was an hour away from finishing this marathon when the two bombs went off. My uncle, her husband was one of the first to respond as he's an officer and was waiting for her at the finish line. My two young cousins were a couple hundred yards away from being directly impacted by the blasts. I'd love to see you tell them that.

[@ethanpringle7877]

Thanks for that. If they're doing it for a laugh or just a reaction...than I feel bad that they're that pathetic. Seriously, I feel really bad for people like that, way more than it upsets me I promise. And if they do believe what they say, than I might as well try to let them know the truth.

[@SuperSedingAngeL-yr0]

Ethan Pringle Where are they in the countless of footage that has been uploaded? Please make your own video and point them out. We need to stop this nonsense. Point them out and show everyone.

[@CrimsonRose29]

I just found out they got divorced and it made me sad ☹️ she got remarried to an old friend from college

[@ridwan149]

to still get married even after that just beautiful to me!!! amazing what positivity is all about.

[@StevieG454]

I'm so sorry that happened to her and many other people, goes to show strong we are! God bless USA!

[@kamin5635]

Kenneth Royer it wasn’t fake she actually got injured

[@borderreiver3288]

IT IS SO HARD TO IMAGINE JUST WHAT SHE HAS GONE THROUGH......so glad she is strong and positive...just hope they can repair her foot/leg without taking it off...the good news is if they do there are so many amazing artificial joints that allow you to walk properly...more strength to you for being so brave and so glad your son is ok....time is a great healer....

[@brazeification2]

People will always think a tragedy like this was fake but we can only hope that something like this happens to those people

[@asthenameofrush1559]

Sad, but amazing.

this is so sad glad they survived

@@annetteslife You are going to have to do better than that! The word is spreading as more and more Americans know these are staged faked events all for PROPAGANDA! You are losing the propaganda war!

[@geordiebirdsteph]

Wow, what a powerful story. I wish them all the best for the future and that they all find peace and happiness with eachother x

[@swmplvr]

'story' being the key word

[@FantageGeeksArmy]

I love this. I have two brothers that one is almost five and the other is two if something happened to them I would die and she stayed strong I love this family it is so perfect put together I hope they are getting through fine ❤️

[@IcyBlondie]

A beautiful story and reminder that this horrible event effects people everyday.

[@richardmlawrence]

Fake, fake and fake. No one was injured. Wake up people!

[@firefox2023]

Such a beautiful young lady!!!

[@StevenBussey]

This is unbelievable. Best of luck to the victims who are affected by this.

[@richardmlawrence]

What is unbelievable is that good people still fall for this garbage. It was fake.

[@AlpineMusicSchool]

It's fake ,no worries.

[@sugar_peas]

I hope her life will be full of happiness.

[@henrymonroe2309]

It's so sad that someone did this to make them think should I deal with the pain for the rest of my life or be embarrassed because I don't have a leg

[@inutero10]

Wow, she is really pretty.

[@mjassims]

Well this is just one bombing you're talking about.... there happens hundreds of blasts and drone strikes in pakistan, afghanistan, iraq, etc... every month... and if this story touched you so much, just think what hundreds of children and people might have been through or are going through there right now :(.....

[@God001111]

It's just alarming because it was on a world stage. The Boston marathon was a world event, look at all the flags there. True, worse things have happened. But that doesn't make this less bad. It's like if you lost your arm, and someone who lost two arms calls you a wuss. You're not a wuss... losing one arm is still shitty. Especially if you lost it on television, with the world watching.

[@shinnyr]

2:05 to 2:14 - Jeez, that was tough for them

[@optimine]

don't you hate when your bones are lying beside you?

[@optimine]

***** heh. ya. me too.

[@BT-km7nl]

amputation would be the most viable and pain free option (after phantom pains). the joints are extremely delicate and once the balance is gone, it is extremely bring back the balance. if she keeps the leg, osteoarthiritis will come in her late 40s

[@surmon11]

They are separated now RIP leg and marriage

[@mjbadboy14]

Good couple they're.

[@spyra_0571]

[@richardmlawrence]

No one was injured. Fake!

[@Sheetmaster-qq1lb]

All I could of see was blood and flesh flying towards the camera

[@bandit53059]

What movie were you watching?

[@aleenanicole9192]

I hope she decides to keep the leg and fight. She will regret that if she amputates.

[@Vnifit]

Afghanistan has this happen over 1,500 a year. That's an average of 4 bombings a day. Not including drone strikes. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

[@selamkubrom223]

I think they got divorced and she remarried another guy. I am one of the followers in her Facebook

[@Sheetmaster-qq1lb]

How is that not your leg

[@vivelavidacontento9683]

they got divorced like ten months after their wedding

[@tannerjenkins9923]

Notice how they didn't pan upwards when showing her leg. They could have simply shown that shot in it's entirety and laid this whole thing to rest.

[@Mashable]

Did you see the scene in the hospital? It shows her entire leg, too.

I am so sorry for this people they just don't deserve this no one does.So why in the world people get so up set and just decided to kill people.I just do't get it.

[@DRBloomber]

What evidence is there that this is fake? I literally know someone there...so it magically didn’t happen??? Uh no

[@DRBloomber]

Read what I wrote, I literally know someone who was there... lol I mean it’s not like it didn’t happen

[@swmplvr]

look up JUSTICE DOESN'T EXIST - BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING CRISIS ACTOR on b i t c h u t e

[@CarryOutMyBidding]

Gregory's story might have been believable except the fact that her amputation came way before the Marathon in 2013. The Boston Globe sent out a tweet just minutes before the first 'bomb' went off stating,......................and I quote, " THERE WILL BE A CONTROLLED EXPLOSION OPPOSITE THE LIBRARY WITHIN ONE MINUTE AS PART OF BOMB SQUAD ACTIVITIES" ....sent April 15th. 2013 at 12 : 53 P.M. Members of the local bomb squad were already in their positions and controllers were on the roof tops. This event was a drill gone live in the media, just like 'mass sh00tings'. Putting fear into the public through propaganda...........same as always. Confirmed bomb squad drill using amputee crisis actors. A Boston hospital spokesman even confirmed it in a live t.v. report. The mainstream media is lobbyist-controlled and government ran. They only fabricate propaganda for government agendas. Hope you enjoyed the fireworks and fake injuries.

[@Games-ev8yt]

it's totally fake

[@carmel350]

Why is this story so hard for me to buy?

[@RichardKeysoftware]

Smells funny

[@annetteslife]

Because you were not there

[@samcostello3644]

Probably because these two are frauds who got alot of donations from people who thought they were really victims

[@elikernaghan6511]

The poor 5 year old

[@melehost]

Don't tell me she's a veteran of Middle East wars. The injuries obviously from there or other workplace.

[@liammcclure1085]

Everybody wants to know “who set off those bombs at the Boston Marathon?”

[@bandit53059]

your mom....do some research instead of asking stupid questions...It's been four years....

[@jestes7]

These people disgust me.

[@01nardo]

nice illuminati t-shirt buddy lol

[@melehost]

Are the Crisis-Actors paying Tax on the money they got for acting? The IRS needs to get their dues.

[@annetteslife]

mele host They are NOT ACTORS

[@kennethroyer9949]

All of the victims were portrayed by CRISES ACTORS! That is a good point. I'm certain it is labeled as an outside contractor and they can annotate it as services rendered and still be compliance with the IRS. Also these crises actors use stage names but use their real names when it comes to the IRS. Please note they are simply acting just as if this was a TV drama or movie plus the press is under zero legal obligation to tell the TRUTH. Thus no laws were broken. However, when it comes to Go Fund Me Accounts [or other charity methods] MASSIVE CHARITY FRAUD IS BEING COMMITTED! CHEERS!

[@leemccrudden3726]

It was a set up , fake , and the brothers .... set up

The mother gets call her daughter just got blowed up, doesnt see coverage until at the airport for the next flight out. You expect us to believe this? Marriage is over in ten months.

[@artwilmeth6944]

Yes, see comments from Plasma Burnz

[@melehost]

As in the video there's no scientific energy behind the explosion. The debris flies out so slow. It's more or less a visual effect, therefore a staged event.

[@Hfajardo97]

What? You are an idiot if you are saying what i'm thinking you are.

[@richardmlawrence]

Sway Oner Fake, fake and fake. Open your eyes and think for yourself. Turn off the tell-lie-vision.

[@patrickshannon1547]

mele host it's not a staged event the little bastard admitted to doing it.

[@ytubesucksazznow]

a wedding , a recovery, a dupe for wedding presents, then a divorce.... wow the love and bonding was SOOO BOSTON STRONG lol. which is to say, fake as all hell lol.

[@Games-ev8yt]

if it's hurt so much cut it off

[@zazu2830]

Ahiya...Akarr wahid

[@tannerjenkins9923]

Hey, if you take the time. Here on the internet, there was someone taking pictures from above the area of the first bomb. You can see people come in and sit down. You can see people who were supposedly grievously injured get up and sit back down several times. You can witness the amazing attributes of the explosive which ripped apart pants and sleeves exclusively and whole bunch of other obvious shit. Watch a video made by one of the victims (they shot it themselves) freaking out because fireworks were going off. This if ACTING people. ACTING.

[@understructurerepair7132]

100% fake

if it hurts so much cut it off

[@fastsean9]

+Amelia Teabo First off you responded within 2 minutes you don't happen to be a computer program.. lol. Na man i have done EXTENSIVE research. I am 99% sure it was fake. don't listen to news. I put it on my life. End of story man i don't wanna argue with trolls. Because i've argued with them before and i learned nothing but the extent of their ignorance. they bs bs and bs. listen to the truth and u'll learn what i'm talking about.

[@bigboysindahood1243]

Where's ur proof can u prove this is fake I mean if this is fake is anything on earth real for u is the world real for u is that a real thing or do planets not exist does gravity not exist

[@nastia1100]

If you do not forgive men their sins, God will not forgive you either. All of you, from your hearts, MUST forgive Dzhokhar!
