Judgement...


On April 15, 2013, at 2:49 PM, with more than 5,600 runners still in the race, two pressure-cooker bombs–packed with shrapnel and other materials hidden in backpacks, were placed on the ground amidst crowds of marathon-watchers–exploded within seconds of each other near the finish line along Boylston Street.

The blasts instantly turned the sun-filled afternoon into a gruesome scene of destruction and chaos. Three spectators died: a 23-year-old woman, a 29-year-old woman and an 8-year-old boy, while more than 260 other people were wounded. Sixteen people lost legs; the youngest amputee was a 7-year-old girl.

On April 18, at around 10:30, Sean Collier, a 27-year-old police officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was shot dead in his patrol car on the school’s Cambridge campus.  

They carjacked a Mercedes SUV at gunpoint, drove around with their hostage, forcing him to withdraw money from an ATM and discussing driving to New York City.

Police in the Watertown spotted the suspects in the stolen SUV. A gun battle broke out, exchanging fire with the police and hurling explosive devices at them. One officer was seriously injured.

Dzhokhar drove the stolen SUV straight at the police, running over his brother before speeding away

Awaiting the right judgment. Just a thought.
