Hayes first tweeted an article Monday morning talking about how would-be-thieves helped discover not-yet-detonated explosives in two, separate instances in New York.

Hayes then followed that with a second tweet claiming “we’re also very very lucky that the attackers tried to use explosives rather than guns.”

Twitter did not appreciate his sentiment.

@Timshel_Way @chrislhayes oh yes! It’s so great that victims of the Boston Marathon were blown up and not shot. Must be grateful

Exactly. When the military wants to kill a lot of people, they avoid bombs. https://t.co/5TXUmeoVSv— Smittie (@smittie61984) September 19, 2016
