I really wanted to refrain from commenting on the bombing of the Boston Marathon. I was able to do so for only a week. The story so far has included the usual heroics, sensational  police incompetency and dramatic arrests. What really hit me today was the pictures of the three fatalities: Martin Richard (8), Krystle Campbell (29), and Chinese grad student Lu Lingzi (23). The lives of two lovely women and a little boy were ended and 130 injured (with dozens losing limbs). This madness was the work of two Chechens who the media are either calling disaffected or radicalized depending on which assailant is being discussed or more disturbing, the outlet’s political persuasion.

Either way, the fact that these three people are lost to us saddened me today as I found out more about them. Martin, Krystle and Lingzi, I wish to remember you. When I think of that day, I will think of you. The two scum that did this shall not win and shall not be remembered.
