Last I’ve hear, nobody knows a frackin’ thing for certain about who bombed Boston or why. I’ve heard: Muslims, anti-tax protestors, the IRA, Occupiers, gun control opponents, gun control advocates, everything. Until there’s something factual, I got little to say.
I will, however, point out this guy:
I know nothing of him save what you can see in the photo (and in the much higher rez photos HERE). I don’t know how he’s doing. But if Boston wanted an image to rally around… I can hardly think of anything better. Blown up and battered, he looks like defiance and determination personified.
UPDATE: There is a photo floating around that is one of the most horrific things I’ve ever seen. As I write this, three people are dead… it would not surprise me to find that the subject of the photo in question is now one of those three. I will not post the complete photo, though if you *must* see it, it’s here: http://i.imgur.com/NekrRnX.jpg (trust me, you’ll be happier not seeing the whole thing). But I will post this crop showing the three people helping the victim:
These three folk deserve praise for what they’re doing; the image itself deserves praise for the sense of determination it conveys.
