I wanted to write about the Boston Marathon earlier this week and put out my condolences to the families of the victims. But my disposition got the better of me and I deleted what I had wrote. My heart is very sad to see the media talking more about the suspects than the victims. I am going to try to explain what is in my thoughts about terrorist and why we should stop advertising who they are to the public and take away their publicity. It is the same thing as what happened with 9 - 11, and other acts of terrorism against democracy. What do you think would happen if we talked about the victim more than the terrorist. The victim would get more publicity and the terrorist would fade quietly into the past with out everyone knowing their name better than that of the victims. It seems to me that the terrorist want to go out in glory with the media constantly repeating who they are. I want to know more about the courage of the bystanders more than the chicken $#!% that planted a bomb and then ran from it to save himself. The bystanders will be living this nightmare for a very long time trying to understand why someone would want to hurt or kill them. They are the heroes that I want to hear from and about, the ones that went in to assist the injured and the families of the victims. I want to hear about how good of a person the victim was or is and what they did for a living, not the person who only thought of themselves. I believe that if we concentrate on this more than the way it has been going, the next terrorist will remain nameless and go down in history with less glory than they are getting now.
So, let me ask you this question, who do you want to hear more about? The victims or the terrorist?
