Garrett Duke Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 My thoughts and prayers are going out to all those who participated in the today's marathon in Boston where several bombs went off in different locations. So far a couple are dead and over twenty others hurt. Just incredibly sad and scary for everyone involved, watching, the police/paramedics/fire fighters, and their families. I can't even begin to imagine what they are now going through.A lot of people who are in marathons are in there not only to work out or to lose weight but also to raise money for charity or to bring awareness to cancers and other sorts. They give their time, effort, and talent to these charities and this is how they are repaid? Just incredibly sad. I don't understand how anyone could even think of doing such horrorific acts of violence as this...and why? I guess some things you or at least I will never understand...My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out for everyone affected by this horrible violence and for Boston as a whole.

Meadowmufn Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 It's just another reminder of how much evil there is in the world. Honestly, we don't need any more reminders. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i1976 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 It's so stunning, and ravaging, and absurd... I can't find any word to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 I don't understand how anyone could even think of doing such horrorific acts of violence as this...and why? What I don't understand is why the 19 year old who was just arrested is entitled to 80+ years of better food and health care than people get who have never even had a speeding ticket. (and can't afford to pay speeding tickets anyways because their taxes keep going up to support guys like him) Oh well, I'd better be careful. The moderators don't like political talk here. Now, that's a policy I DO understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I do see where you are coming rom Roger and would normally agree, but I am glad that they caught him alive. Perhaps now they can get some answers...

RogerDuke Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 You're absolutely right Garrett. Hopefully what they'll learn from this guy will help prevent future tragedies. If lives are saved from it, it will be worth the financial cost. Paying for his incarceration is one thing but I hope he pleads guilty because if there's dozens of appeals over the decades, the security costs alone will be astronomical. And I should remind myself, he is innocent until proven guilty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Duke Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 The price for it all will be huge...for everyone like that. Just sad that all this has had to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
