It's been less than a week since the bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon and in that time the authorities have figured out who did it and tracked them down in the probably the most intense manhunt in history. The entire city of Boston was on lock down.

 

I'm grateful that it's over and I want to know why. At present it appears it's not connected to any Islamic terror groups but who knows. The family, who arrived here in 2002 seeking refuge from the war in Chechnya, is in disarray. The Mom thinks it's a set up, the Uncle hates them and their sister is heartbroken.

 

Hopefully this 19 year old will survive and allow us to learn how he could participate in these senseless acts of violence and terror.

I don't think that any attempt to explain why, will bring solace.
Having two sons nearly the same age as these two terrorist...all of this makes me incredibly sad. :-(

Why did the Governor lift "shelter in place" minutes before the afternoon gun fire?

Learning why help prevent another, even if still others may occur. Amazing though the role of technology and not just surveillance cameras but the pics and videos that individuals took and help play a role in the apprehension of the murderous violators.

Three dead, scores grievously wounded, a city and a nation traumatized all coming from a sick, twisted and perverted mind-set coming from far-away places that are steeped in hatred of "the other". There's probably no one who's more pro-immigration and pro-immigrant than I am, but I think we need to be rather more careful about whom we admit. Major kudos to the authorities who cracked the case so quickly and likely spared Boston further mayhem.
