Boston Marathon Massacre Bounce
Crime don’t pay in Boston. These people love their city; they love their traditions. They love their marathon. They love their survivors.They even love the US citizens who did not survive.
The people of Boston and other Marathon visitors were the key to solving the crime that took place at the Marathon finish line in 2013. Three days after that explosive disaster, the FBI and the Boston Police asked Marathon witnesses to send snapshots and video that had been captured at the moments before and during those two murderous acts of terror.
By viewing all those pics and videos, our Law Enforcement officials were able to ascertain the identity of the criminals who had set up their two acts of lethal terrorism.
And we do mean “terrorism.” If you ever meet a person who was there in April of 2013 on Boylston Street in Boston, at those two explosive moments, they will attest that they now know, from experience, what that infamous, dreaded thing called “terror” is.
Terror is no walk in the Park, although the Boston Common is a park nearby where many Marathoners and observers traditionally unwind after the big event.
But in 2013, there was no joyful gathering of runners and observers in Boston Common as the Boston Marathon concluded. Instead, there was, literally, a Terror-driven sudden dispersal of everyone immediately after the bombing.
Post-terror, our Law guys and gals wasted no time in working together to identify the bombers and apprehend them.
The Boston Police, the FBI, ATF, CIA and several other agencies worked together.
One observer, Jeff Bauman, lost both his legs in the detonation. Furthermore, Jeff’s traumatic experience was profoundly intensified because he actually saw the bomber drop a fully-loaded backpack in the spot where it exploded moments later. According to Wikipedia, Jeff later gave a detailed description of the suspects.
Our law enforcement guys got right on it, identified the Tsarnaev brothers and put out an APB.
The FBI released images of the Tsarnaev brothers three days later, asking for help from the public to help in identifying and apprehending the bombers.
Sure enough, the cooperative efforts of our Law Enforcement officers and an attentive citizenry culminated in a successful manhunt. But Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were not easily apprehended .
The two young Kyrgyzstani immigrants made a desperate getaway.
But thanks to the cooperation of citizens and Law Enforcement officers, their frantic getaway lasted only 101 hours.
In those last hours of high-speed getaway, one brother ran over the other brother while desperately evading the police in darkness in nearby Watertown, across the Charles River from Boston.
But Dzhokhar Tzarnaev’s ill-fated runaway ended, alas, when Boston’s well-trained assailants apprehended him hiding in a tarp-covered boat.
Dzhokhar’s anti-heroic act of terrorizing destruction ended in a suburban driveway, of all American places. What a way to go — hiding in the dark in a boat that won’t float.
The lesson of the 2013 Marathon is: Don’t mess with Boston! These people have been defining American freedom since the King’s soldiers tried to stop them in 1770.
Furthermore, this is no time to collapse in the marathon of our American nationhood. Be inspired by the resilience and determination of those Bostonians! Appropriate their resolute resistance as we strive to defeat the trumpian magamaniacs who conspire to destroy our Constitutional Republic!
