My heart goes out to all the victims, their families and friends. A senseless act.
Historical timing being it was the city's Patriots Day, and the same day, 15 April, that Lincoln died after being shot 14 April 1865. Timothy Mc Veigh detonated a truck bomb in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. On June 2, 1997, McVeigh was found guilty. 2 years?
I think the authoritites at all levels will find who was at the root of this. Speculation at this point is useless. Way to early. I think it almost goes without saying that if a foreign country is connected it will be declared an act of war. And if it was a domestic perpetrator, I hope there will be swift justice.
Reports so far say both bombs were housed in pressure cookers. So I guess the "ban the pressure cooker" and "cooker control" regime will soon be born. Will we now need background checks to buy Revere Ware? So I guess, like firearms, those with malice, will find a way, a method, to commit their intended acts.
I think the focus has to remain on the operator and not the instrument.
