Care to elaborate?
As he mentioned murders happen every day in the states, so would you prefer a non-fictional comparison?
> The Boston Marathon is a world renowned event, and the apprehension of the perpetrators of the attacks was a necessary thing, because, as someone else has mentioned here, sending a message of "We'll catch you" to any would-be criminals is of the utmost importance.
What does being "world renowned" have to do with anything?
And what makes this case any different from any other criminal offence?
Don't we want to catch all criminals?
- D9u 13y agoThe Boston Marathon is a high profile event, and when explosives are involved, the security response is elevated. Explosives != pillows. The "world renowned" aspect is just that. The world is watching how we respond to such incidents, and to attempt to marginalize this incident by comparing a mother smothering her children with pillows to bombs targeting a crowd is callous in the extreme. Of course we'd prefer to catch all criminals, especially those who target high profile events with explosives.
