One of the people who dies was from my city. I didn't know her, but apparently my dad recognized her mother on TV as someone he knew from his time in Cambridge.

Very sad indeed. Let's hope who ever set the bombs off gets caught and punished for their actions.

People have claimed that God told them to kill people
People have claimed that their countries government told them to kill people
People have claimed that revenge and hatred told them to kill people

No matter who or what tells you to kill, setting off explosions in a public area occupied by many is pointless to their order.

You can hate the government, but the people in the explosions is not the government
You can hate a person in the marathon, but do you honestly hate them all? I doubt EVERY person deserves it.
You can hate life, but that doesn't justify bringing an end to other lives
You can hate a country because you're told to, but what real reason do you have to hate it?
You can hate a group out of jealousy, but why bring others out of it into harms range?

You can look at it from hundreds of perspectives with hundreds of reasons and none of them, not even the smallest, most frivolous reason can be fully justified fully. Such extreme, disastrous methods of causing harm to the person/people you hate is disturbing and hateful. Only somebody of a sociopathic mind can do this. Clearly it was planned and clearly there was no direct target in specific. It was done in a crowded area because it could be done in a crowded area. No reason, no point, just straight up murder for the sake of being able to murder. Just straight up disaster for the sake of being able to cause it, and just straight out desire to see these things happen. Only the sickest can do these things.

I feel sad for anybody with such a twisted mind.

I stand by my "FUCK YOU!" comment from before.

you've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?
They killed one of the suspects in a shootout late last night/early this morning, but a second is still at large. They were apparently brothers from the Chechnya area. Boston is on complete lockdown right now.

EDIT: As of about a minute ago, they supposedly have two suspects surrounded at a house in Watertown MA.

Also, apparently, the surviving brother goes to my school, so my school got closed today even though we're not anywhere close to Boston.
So my school was evacuated today, SWAT teams and Bomb Squad had to come in, no one's allowed on campus, and there were rumors that Tsarnaev was driving in New Bedford (the neighboring city to my school). Even one of my history professors, who is an expert in Central Asian studies, which includes Chechnya, had taught the kid and he was also interviewed on the news. And, we've also had a couple Black Hawk helicopters land on campus:

It's been a very surreal day.
THEY GOT HIM.

Thought that may be interesting to some.

So loud that everyone in this place
Will hear every word I say
Cause this is my time, this is my time to shine
Let nothing stand in our way"

Now that he is captured alive it's time to see what info we can squeze out of him. And give him the punishment he desirves.

And that's crazy Yesh.

Woot! I'm glad he was caught.
At least things can begin to go back to normal, slowly but it will.
