At press conferences the day after two bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon the Massachusetts Governor and his Chicago colleague and friend the President of the US promised to get to the bottom of the attacks. They leaped into action and ordered the flags on government buildings lowered to half mast. Do they inspire confidence or what? US Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) spoke at a press conference saying that the President is on the job. Does that mean she is not needed? He's taking care of it and everything else? Three were killed, including one 8-year-old Boston boy, and 175 injured. The Mayor of Boston and the Governor urged citizens to stay home, and to stay away from areas where a lot of people congregate after the bombing.
On the weekend of the Marathon in Boston thousands of young people from all over the world could usually be seen at area restaurants, touring the universities and drinking at the local adult beverage lounges. The night of the Marathon this year after the bombs the streets were deserted. Three Boston hotels were evacuated. The Boston Bruins (hockey) canceled their game for the next night. Several colleges closed for the day.
Does that mean that the terrorists won? After 9/11 New York officials and the President urged people to go to dinner or to a Broadway show. Else the terrorists would win they told us. What has changed? Have the terrorists won in Boston? Rush Limbaugh said the Boston attack was an attack on the Pursuit of Happiness. Why are all of those photogenic psychiatrists who claim they are omniscient and morally superior than ordinary people so loudly silent? They are permitted to predict the future in courts. Why didn't they warn us about this attack?
Is the FBI checking all informants who have permission to commit crimes like Jimmy Bulger and Stevie Flemmi? One Boston radio announcer substituting on one show told us about victims who had their legs amputated. Did she tell us too much? Do we really want to hear about that?
Boston officials focus on determining the motive of the bomber(s). They are unable to find who did it. So, they speculate on the motive. Duh! Here's the motive people: They wanted to terrorize the public. Ya think?
What is the FBI doing about rounding up the Boston area mental patients? If they are not rounding them up, why not? I thought all violence was caused by mentally ill people. Terrorists tell us they love death more than we love life. Will enhanced penalties help deter these events? Especially when former bomb placer Bill Ayers and armed robbery ex-convict Kathy Boudin are now prominent academic professors? Is the message that if you commit a heinous crime and pay your dues or remain friends with politicians you can be a redeemed soul and leader of the nation?
