A local news outlet is reporting that the home-goods retailer, Williams-Sonoma has pulled pressure cookers from their shelves in the aftermath of the Boston attack.

According to the Dedham Patch, Williams-Sonoma has pulled pressure cookers off the shelves out of respect for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.

Kent, a store manager of the Williams-Sonoma at the Natick Mall says:

"It's a temporary thing out of respect."

Authorities have confirmed that pressure cookers were used by the two men who planned and carried out the bombing at the Boston Marathon last Monday.

Williams-Sonoma says that the product will still be available online.

DHS is buying up all the pressure cookers.

Obama needs to keep the economy off the first page.

Out of respect? Try out of stupidity. How is it “respectful” to take a product off the shelves? It does nothing except inconvenience those who can their own foods.

The pressure cookers ARE NOT THE PROBLEM...terrorists in our midst, using our $$$, and our system is the problem.

Leftists have their heads up their butts. All of them.

This “sensitivity” culture we are living in has gone way overboard. Shall we all stop buying Boston baked beans for a while? Or do we and buy MORE? What about backpacks? and white ball caps?

Williams-Sonoma probably thinks gun control works too...

This country has descended into utter screaming lunacy.

Quick! Somebody schedule another candlelight vigil so we can feel even MORE “sensitive”! We need a pressure cooker “awareness” month.....what color should the lapel ribbons be?
