Dzhokhar Tsarnaev went on the stand on Wednesday for being accused of planting bombs which exploded during the Boston Marathon in 2013. Prosecuters stated Tsarnaev planted the bombs to " tear people apart and create a bloody spectacle." It is believed the motive of Tsarnaev was believing he is a soldier in the holy war against Americans, and that by winning this war, he would be on his way to the ultimate paradise. Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured, when two pressure-cooker bombs exploded in April of 2013.
The Boston Bombing was incredibly sad and heart breaking. All of those lives put in danger and some lost, for just simply deciding to run the marathon that day. I think that is one of the scariest parts about all of this. Sometimes, we never think that things can happen like this in certain places and we think of them as safe. For these runners, they almost lost their lives from doing something they love or strived to accomplish. Many people can suffer from post-traumatic stress after an event like this, which can cause many emotional and even physical problems in the future. Not to mention the families, who had to deal with loss and hurt of their loved ones being put in to danger. I truly hope that all of the runners will continue to pursue their dream. It definitely can be hard to move forward after something you have always viewed as safe, almost took your life. However, I believe that the best way to push forward and show the bombers that they can not be broken, would be to push on and show them that nothing can stop you. Some may want justice for what happened and feel anger, and the best justice would to not let it destroy you, and keep running the distance.
