Year after year,
the Boston marathon is heralded as one of the great American sport events and
attracts thousands of fans and participants. What was meant to bring out the
best in competition turned into the worst of circumstances at such an
event. Two brothers, Tamerlan and
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, acted in a violent and terroristic plot to plant a bomb near
the finish line of the Boston marathon. A West student shared his opinion on
the tragic incident: “I truly can’t believe an act like this would take place, it
seems psychotic. If a charitable and friendly sporting event that I planned to
run in one day isn’t considered safe anymore, than what is?”
With such a
horrific event still on our minds a week and half later all we can do is pray
for the victims and their families. “… A tragedy like this needs to be
remembered and precautions need to be taken to prevent future attacks like this
heading into the future. My heartfelt prayers and sympathy go out to the people
of Boston.”
