WHAT WAS THE POINT?

As we try to settle down after the tragic events in Boston, one must ask the bomber(s), what was your point? What were you trying to say?


Did you intend to just scare people, or, did you really intend to kill an 8 year-old boy and two adults? Did you really intend to wound about 150 people with horrific injuries in some cases?

I guess the answer to those questions is yes, you did intend to do all of that. Police forensic investigators learned that your bomb was a “pressure cooker bomb,” designed to maim and kill.  It was filled with explosives, nails, tiny ball bearings and bb type of objects that would become flying shrapnel during the explosion.

Whether domestic or foreign, your acts were that of a terrorist. What had you so pissed off at people running and watching a marathon that you decided to act out your hate at that scene - the finish line? One might ask, WHAT THE FONGONUS IS WRONG WITH YOU?

However, all of that aside, there is one very disturbing aspect to your dastardly deed. The bomber is a coward. The bomber is afraid to confront real or perceived enemies on a first person basis, or “mano o mano.” You did not risk confronting police or military, who in most cases are quite capable of defending themselves. Instead, you chose innocent people who could not defend themselves. That action speaks volumes about your cowardice.

You might have had an exhilarating high from your terrible deed, but do not exult for too long. As you slink into the shadows, realize that the F.B.I. and other government agencies will be searching for you, hunting you. More likely than not, there are private citizens doing the same thing. Your days are numbered. Be prepared to die for your perceived cause.

You are a murdering coward, nothing less, nothing more, hiding in fear for your life. Whatever your point might have been; no matter what you wanted to try to say, your message is meaningless, lost to cowardice. You will not sleep well or rest well, worrying about the knock at your door, which is sure to happen, quite possibly sooner than you think.
