Unfortunately we blame the person for this type of act, but the hardware in a shooting.

- April 18, 2013, 00:24:11 AMA close friend of mine was working the finish line. When I heard the news my heart nearly stopped. Thankfully both he and a classmate who had just finished the race are both physically ok. I urged them both to seek founseling. I was wounded in a bombing in Afghanistan and while I have recovered well from the physical injuries the psychological scars are harder to bear. We Bostonians are a hearty people and we will get through this. I honk I speak on behalf of all of us when I thank everyone for their support in the aftermath of such a cowardly and despicable act.

For years I have feared terrorists would change tactics from large scale to small scale... we are more likely to thwart large scale.This is a tough one...I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner...like Times Square on New Years Eve. Prayers to all involved. except...

- April 17, 2013, 12:38:27 PMYou can't explain this to a six year old..but hopefully you will never have to..
To put this action in context, for each person injured or killed, at that exact moment there were hundreds of others injured or killed in everyday accidents..
Anyone in those accidents will be looking for the same answers..
That is the way the government will be looking at this and they will find those responsible and deal with them, no doubt at a cost of millions of dollars in legal fees..

- April 17, 2013, 11:19:19 AMThe trick is to balance safety and freedom. Terrorism is all about forcing us to change our lives. 911 was successful in doing that... we see that every time we have to endure another TSA "screening" at the airport.
Our leaders have decided Political correctness and political agenda take priority over both the Constitution and our safety. As a result, we may lose our freedoms and still never be safe. For me, subverting our Constitution, taking our freedoms for the sake of safety is unacceptable.

- April 17, 2013, 07:33:40 AMThe problem is how to protect 4.6 million people people from one or two nutters who think they are at war but don't wear a uniform..
Many people think the USA is a vast country but the reality is that you can be out of one city and into another in a very short time..
I imagine the authorities have examined traffic and security cctv and found out who did this.
