to the news watching the apprehension and finally the capture of the Boston Marathon Bomber. I awoke this morning to the news that the older one had been killed in a shootout and the other was still on the run. That was after they had killed another man and injured another. Today the whole city of Boston was on lock down while they searched for him. It had to be very nerve-racking to them. The suspect was finally found hiding in a grounded boat behind a home.
It is amazing to see the procedures that were used to track them. With the multiple cell phone photos, videos, and store security cameras, they were able to identify who the bombers were. The news kept making the point that even a few years ago we would not have had that kind of ability. All that, in addition to the manpower going door to door canvasing the neighborhoods, was pretty impressive.
It was wonderful to see the joy of the people and how they applauded for the law enforcement personnel who worked together to ensure the capture. It helped me feel a pride in our country and an appreciation for those who put their lives on the line for us.
