An Act of Terror
Gary A. House
I would never be able to be a marathon runner. I have always preferred to run 90 feet at the
time.
I have great respect and admiration for anyone who puts
forth the training to develop the endurance and stamina to run non-stop for 26 ½
miles.
The runners who recently participated in the Boston Marathon
put in the time and effort to run, what was for many of them, the race of their
lives. It is beyond my ability to
understand why someone would want to place a bomb(s) near the end of the
race.
This was an act of terror on American soil. I have no idea who planned or implemented
this destructive act. I do believe that
if he/she/they are American citizens, all of the rights of US citizenship
should be stripped. The affected
families should receive justice for this atrocious crime. If they are not American citizens, they should
be, well, I will let you answer that one.
I cannot understand why anyone would want to hurt another
human being in this manner. These runners trained many grueling hours to
be able to run this race. Those who took
the thrill away from these athletes are not worthy of being called human.
