Boston Bombing Blame Bluster: Here We Go Again …
Is it human nature to want to immediately place blame? Yes, absolutely. Are we entirely capable of rising above that and using our immediate energy to help those in need? Absolutely! Within 10 to 15 seconds, race organizers, police and medical personnel on site rushed to the blast to help. That is heroism and every single person who decided to use this tragedy for politics, to further hate and to push their nut job agendas should learn a thing or two.
Anger and condemnation of those who perpetrated this should and will come later, when we know who they are. If it is an American citizen, they should face the weight of the law, through the due process afforded them via our Constitution, and then rot in jail. If they are foreign agents, drag their sorry butts off to Gitmo and forget their existence. Whoever they are, they are terrorists and we should not give them the benefit of seeing our fear or reacting by further restricting the rights of our citizens in reaction. If we do, they win.
We are Americans. We are better than this. Let the families grieve, the victims heal and then let’s get those responsible and show them the full weight of the American Spirit!
