 * Boston Marathon Bombing

I think what happened in Boston is horrible. I can’t even explain what went through my mind when I heard about that. Then I heard they found more bombs but they didn’t go off I was relieved. I feel so bad for those families that lost their loved ones and to the injured ones. Then I heard they found two other bombs and they didn’t go off. All the people that saw this happen. They must be in so much shock and scared. I wouldn’t know what to do. Why do these bad things keep happening to us? I just pray for all those people over there. All my prays go to those who were killed and injured. ~Alex || //~Hardeep// || ~Camden || ~Justin ||
 * When I heard about the Boston bomb blasts, I was shocked and I couldn’t believe someone would bomb at a marathon. I watched the news and found out that there were 3 dead including an 8 year old girl. More than more than 140 people were wounded, 17 of them critical. I think that this was a terrorist attack by North Korea, since they have been threatening the United States for the past month. Also they said they were going to take immediate action hours before the attack. In addition to that North Korea had their Pyongyang //marathon yesterday as well. But I’m not sure and there is not much evidence of this being true. It could also have been an American who is after the Sandy Hook families because this marathon was dedicated to the tragedy at Sandy Hook and the bomb went off near the crowd, where the Sandy Hook families were.//

 * The Boston Marathon bombing was a devastating event. I first heard of the bombing when I was listening to the radio with my dad. Listening at that time they did not say how many people perished or was injured. When I returned to my house and watched the news as they were streaming live from Boston. No evidence this bombing was tied to a specific person or party. I suspect it wasn't a terrorist attack. The final reports of deaths were 3 and 144 injured. Most of the injuries were leg injuries. Hopefully they can find the person who did this and bring justice to the victims' families.

 *  It’s say to say no one at the marathon or anyone around the world saw this tragedy coming. This event was supposed to be happy, full of entertainment, and for the runners, dreams come true. But instead, it was turned into a nightmare. I was completely shocked when I heard it on the news. I honestly would’ve expected more injured and casualties but thankfully that didn’t happen. Catastrophes like these make me wonder why. Why do people turn to violence, leaving many families and loved ones of the victims devastated? I don’t know why anyone would have to turn to violence to prove or solve anything because it doesn’t. Whether or not it was a terrorist attack or a citizen of America, I still don’t see any reason or moral to commit such crimes.

 * When I first heard about the bombing of Massachusetts, I was instantly confused how someone could be sick enough to bomb a running marathon. Especially to people who are athletes, and were just doing something they loved with their friends and families watching. People lost limbs, mostly legs, and I can’t even imagine how they feel, knowing they can’t run again. Or be the same ever again, just because people are mentally sick. An eight year old boy lost his life running to his father as well, I can’t even think what the father feels right now... Seeing his child die, right in front of him. Who would ever think of doing such a thing? What do they get out of hurting and killing people for no reason? Not only is it hard to fathom, it’s hard to wrap your head around how incredibly idiotic it is to waste your time on bombing people, when you get nothing out of it. It makes me think how twisted it is to imagine there are such people out there who think like that. In today’s world it can be anyone you see in public, you could be at the store and the person behind you could be a serial killer, and you don’t even know it. I personally think the person, who bombed it, is someone extremely sick and upset that they haven’t been able to get into the marathon themselves. Or it could be a warning for something bigger in the future. People are very unpredictable, and I personally think society is becoming worse as well. People are becoming careless, and it’s becoming easier to do these kinds of things. You can go online to learn how to make a bomb, or buy a gun from a random person. These things need to become more strict obviously and make more laws on them.

~Justys || Who would bomb an event such as the Boston Marathon? Doing something like this is really stupid. This is such a catastrophic event and a very emotionally affecting thing to do. Lots of people are grieving over the victims of this bombing, and many people have lost their legs and limbs due to amputations because of the shrapnel from the bombs. People who do something like this shouldn’t have any rights, especially not after doing something so horrendous.

You have to have something wrong with you to be willing to take the lives of innocent people. Over a hundred people are left with missing limbs or with the possibility of never being able to walk again. Those two bombs took the lives of three people who will never be able to live the rest of their life or even get to begin their life (in reference to the 8 year old boy who passed away). The only question I have for the man, women, or group of people that were involved with the bombing is why? Why did they choose the Boston Marathon as the location? Why did they choose the time and location in the race for the bombs to go off? I can only imagine what the victims, friends, and families are going through right now. But all we can do is just pray for those families and pray that nothing like this will happen again. It’s scary to think that something like this could happen at anytime and anywhere. I just hope that the government can find out who did this and question him/her/them on why they did this.

I see that this person wanted to have a mass casualty event, and try to “one up” other people. To put this in more perspective, this person who planted the bombs at the Boston Marathon wanted to kill more people than the Sandy Hook killer, because he wanted more publicity. I believe all these killers want is more fame and publicity than the person before them. This will continue to happen because the media allows it to by reporting widely upon the events. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">~Ryan || ~Scott || ~Terry ||

When I finally turned on the news later in the day and I realized the extent of the event. I was shocked but what had happened, as anyone would be. I immediately gave my uncle a call because his parents live in Boston, and I just wanted to make sure they were okay.

 * The Boston Marathon bombing is a crazy thing. It shows that anything can happen at any time. You can’t even go in to a movie theater without getting shot. Thought out the hard time this tragic event show that American can come together and become one. In the face of fear American with stand as one and help in any way they can. The two men that did this should be Punishment by the fullest extent of the law. Inclusion I feel the Boston Marathon bombing shows that the world is going crazy and people need Jesus in there life.

 * The Boston Marathon Bombing looked devastating and horrifying. My emotion was being terrified by me imaging that if the shrapnel of the bomb went into the calves of my legs if I was close to the bomb. The news reporter said the most injury included at the lower parts of the body. My question would be who and why would they plan this idea to ruin the Boston Marathon?

 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">The Boston Marathon yet is another tragedy that we as Americans have to deal with and cope with the deaths of loved ones. I personally believe that the bombing was a foreign terrorist attack against the American people. I couldn’t imagine how scared and confused I would have been during the explosion. I hate hearing insistent people dying from crazy people and to think seven years ago to this day there was the Virginia Tech shooting, where 32 people and wounded 17 others in two separate attacks. You wonder what goes through these people’s minds exactly; what would want to make you go out and kill people that have done nothing wrong. I’m just hoping all of this violence will soon come to an end. I think the government should figure out exactly what is going on and if it happens to be a foreign terrorist attack, they shouldn’t just feel sorry for those people but actually do something about. In my prospective, I think the government isn’t doing enough to deal with the problem. This has happened to many times and its time they change what they have been doing…which is nothing and change. The American people are done with the tragedies that have been occurring. What’s next that we are going to be having bombings and shooting everywhere like they do in the middle-eastern countries? I certainly hope it will never come down to that.
