As terrorists, these guys sucked. The Swedish guy, even the Columbine schoolboys had a much higher body count. Still, in economic cost, it was a creditable effort, not on the level of 9/11 but not bad, for two presumed amateurs to shut down Boston for a day. When you do that, you're giving these guys a lot of power. Imagine if London had shut down every time there were IRA attackers on the loose. One comes to expect an extremist point of view from RMS, but I find myself mostly agreeing. What the victims experienced is heartbreaking, and we should honor them by catching the bad guys, and also finding ways to make ourselves more resilient.
