My husband has a good friend living in Boston. As far as I know, he run in quite a few of the Boston Marathons previously. When I heard about one of the three dead was an eight year old boy, my heart did not rest until his name was announced and a photo was flashed. My husband's friend has an only son around that age. It was not that boy as I feared.
The CNN special report on the Boston incident was clear and informative. It is tragic that such a healthy event on a cool spring day was turned into a blood bath. Apart from the three dead, about 25 were seriously injured out of more than 140.
Think about it, nobody would or could imagine such a horrific thing happening. After all, for family members and friends of the participants, it would be natural to gather near the finishing line. Whoever who placed the bombs must hate America enough to want to inflict such terrible wounds (amputations of legs) on folks who merely show love and support to their loved ones! After all, the wounded ranged from age 2 to 71. These are ordinary citizens, they are not VIPs nor are they policy makers. Of all cowardly acts, this is surely one of the lowest of the low!
