Eye For An Eye

Monday during a holiday celebration in Boston a terrorist attack occurred.  It happened during one of the most notable races in America the Boston Marathon.  As it stands right now if law enforcement knows who did it they are not telling.  It may have been some middle east extremist group or it may have been some racer who application to run in the marathon was received late and as an act of revenge he got even with the race.

It doesn't matter to me if it is some guy dressed up in army fatigues who opens fire in a crowded movie theater, or a student who opens fire on a college campus these people are terrorist whether they represent any kind of organization or are mad because they broke up with their girl friend.  I would have no problem with a public hanging in the middle of the street in which the terrorism happened.  One problem with our country today is we make excuses for those who do wrong and we will find a  way to let the killers live.

We live in a country where we can do almost any thing we want as long as we don't disturb others. Recently kids in a school were murdered.  A mass murder has taken place in a movie house.  This may prove out to be Middle East terrorist but my guess it could just as easily be someone who got fired from his job and he was just getting even.

I think I have walked the street where this act has been perpetrated but I am not sure.  Tuesday night I will attend a public event at Northern Nash.  We must carry on with our lives for if we give one inch the terrorist win.  Right now no one knows for sure what kind of bomb or what kind of container was use.  I may have been in a trash can on in some body's back pack.  There is no way under the sun to stop random acts.   99% of the time law enforcement catches the perpetrators before the event ever happens.  It is that 1% as a free country we must endure. 

I hope and pray that the killers are caught and I pray for the families who have been touched by terrorism today.  We can not as a people go into hiding because they might strike here next or in Raleigh or where ever we might go.  If we are afraid to step out of our doors then this place or any other is not worth living in.  Let us all continue to live our lives and to show who ever thinks they can keep us in fear that this is America and we all will die trying to to keep her free,.
