Tragedy: Boston Marathon Explosion

Manic Monday
What where you doing?
They were running a race: Boston Marathon

There was two bombings at the finish line and as the atlantic wire explained they were "a coordinated event and an act of terror". With numbers such as 140 injured (brutally) and at least 3 dead including a child. FBI has now taken over the investigation quoting it may be related to terrorism. FBI special agent Richard DesLauriers originally said there has been no suspects yet however recent news (today) show a blurry image of two men in baseball caps. Boston Marathon day was really a landmark day where they were able to start the kick off to summer and a "happy time" where people started using their patios.

The two suspects both had backpacks and one had a black baseball hat with a Bridgestone Golf logo.FBI think these suspects are dangerous and may be armed.  DesLauriers is asking the public's help to ID these two suspects.


Obama has made some touching speeches about this matter and I quote 



“We may get momentarily knocked off our feet but we will pick ourselves up,” 
Obama made this in reference to a runner who was 78 that had been blown off his feet but still finished the race.  Obama has since visited patients at Massachusetts General Hospital. Those injured brutally has climbed up to 180 people this thursday.

I have decided not to include any photos with too much blood but you get the idea. 


This really is a tragic event. What is just as tragic is the public's immediate attention to who they think is responsible" brown people".  It is a depression reminder that there has been an increase in racial profiling against men from the middle east after 9/11. (MORE INFO go to HUFFINGTONPOST)

I am just very thankful to be alive and healthy with all my limbs.
