A couple of days ago another tragedy happened in America that will be remembered for generations. The bombings at the Boston Marathon. First of all, this is an American tradition, and it is disappointing to see tragedy strike at such a monumentous event. Participants had been training for months to compete on such a stage, and when they finish, of all times a bomb goes off. For example, there was a 78 year old man who was about to cross the finish line, and the burst of the bomb knocked him over. While this was tragic for the runners, their feelings cannot compare to those who lost loved ones in the event, and my heart and prayers go out to them.
In the wake of the bombings I heard many people talking about who the perpetrator could be, and if it would be better for the criminal to be from inside the United States, or from a Middle Eastern country. If they were domestic, there could be talks of revolts or crimes within the country. Even bigger than that , would be if he/she were from the Middle East. While tensions are just now starting to simmer there would be emotions stirred up again sending the United States into action once again. Even more there would be a lot of hate directed towards Middle Easterns within the United States which is never good. Things like the uproar about Islam places of worship being built would be all the more prevalent, and there would probably be more hate crimes. All in all I hope that whoever the terrible person is who did this was not from outside the United States, but rather he was just a crazy person who had nothing better to do.
