As part of his O'Reilly monologue, he mentioned tonight that the question "why did it happen" was superfluous. Miller is so right on. There is no amount of explanation or context that can ever justify the evil that occurred on the afternoon of April 15, 2013 in Boston on a sunny day at the end of one of the largest global sporting events of the year.
In fact, when innocents like the little boy from Dorchester MA are killed and maimed no matter whether it takes place here or overseas, there is NO justification.
As someone raised just outside of Boston along the marathon course, I know well the excitement and challenge of the 26.2-mile race that so many people around the world spend years to qualify to run in and train for. It's a huge achievement and sadly the joy of this year's race was snuffed out in an instant for so many regardless of what capacity they may have participated on Monday.
As the smoke clears and we find out more, I can say without hesitation that when we do find out who committed this evil act of violence against innocents that I certainly hope and pray justice is served to the full extent of the law. What I fear is that like 911, President Obama and his AG will find a way to somehow circumvent the definitions of "terrorism" and "war crimes" and move those finally charged with this heinous war crime through our criminal court system.
I hope this is not the case.
While I fully believe in the U.S. judicial system and the idea of "innocent until proven guilty," who ever is found guilty and is behind this despicable and horrific act of terror (whether they are liberal, right-wingers as so many mainstream media would like to believe, or a lone-wolf al Qaeda operative), in my opinion deserves nothing less than ... there are no words for what I am thinking. Seriously, I am that angry.
To all in Boston who experienced the horror of terror on Monday, my prayers and deepest sympathies are with you and your families. God bless all of you, God bless America.
