Preface / Introduction

Right On The Money. When will the Next Bomb go off?? Literally! Never in a million years did I

figure I would be reading the first draft of this article, while in the presence of my Mentor and CEO,Dr. Lant, whom at this very moment, as I write this, has been ordered to not leave his home. Theterror that began at the Boston Marathon has come to Cambridge.It was only 30 or so hours ago thatDr. Lant was in the process of writing an article about the Boston Marathon. He had a theory, whichproved to be right on the money. That this would not stop at one individual bombing, but theterrorism would continue. And so it has. Right in his neighborhood.At this time, one of two brothersresponsible for this, has been killed; one still at large. I can only pray that Dr. Lant, Mr. Joseph andhis wife, Mercedes, and all the citizens stay safe, and God Bless!

'Ma, I'm hurt real bad.' Boston. April 15, 2013.

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant.

Author's program note. To experience the joy of spring in New England and in its first and principalcity since its inception in 1630 you must have faced and survived the very real rigors of the New

England winter as only the genuine New Englander can do... resolute people... determined people...people for whom the very idea of tenacity was created.

These are the people who know the rancor in the bone rattling chill the old Atlantic has thrown at itsstubborn inhabitants each wintry season since there were such inhabitants; daring them to spend yetanother exacting season on this inauspicious pied-a-terre the Pilgrims audaciously decreed would betheir Godly capital. And so fearing nothing but God they began, little knowing how manychallenges there would be, but bolstered by the living God facing each one as it came, no matterwhat it was or how it seared us.

These are the kind of people who in this often grim, demanding geography built their Shining Cityon a Hill... these are the kind of people who sustain it. For we are a stern and rigorous people whohave grown up sometimes daunted, sometimes misguided, sometimes stumbling, but alwaysadvancing... renewing... improving; even when our heart is breaking... as it most assuredly isbreaking now.

For the musical accompaniment to this article, I have chosen one of the most soothing and upliftingcompositions because I feel sure composer Aaron Copeland meant it especially for moments likenow. This is "Appalachian Spring", and I recommend you go now to any search engine and listen toit carefully... for if your soul has no immediate need of it, there is sure to come the day when it will.

This radiant achievement was first recorded October 7, 1945. It caught the sound of the GreatRepublic as she moved out of the massive burden of war and took her great place on the world stageas the one certain hope of every person who loved freedom and all its works.

One of the first recordings was made in Boston, the uneasy, restless, aspiring city where everycorner, every location, every crooked, narrow lane revealed another aspect of what this place and itspeople had done for themselves as they forged revolution here in order to secure liberty everywhere.The world took note of Boston and knew that here important things had been done... things whichmight benefit them.

And so the unyielding land of New England and its principal city changed the world whileadmonishing the good people everywhere to see what they had done to shape the better life, urging

them to do as much for themselves and to do it as well.

Into this great city of liberty came people determined to use that liberty to confound that liberty,wreak grievous havoc, and inflict mayhem and pain on a perfect April day when spirits were highand joyous and all New England was garlanded by the flowers of springtime we had all been waitingfor. These people came to kill... and they did kill. Came to maim... and they did maim. Came toshow what purposeful menace might do... and they did show.

Thus a mother heard in disbelief and horror what her son called on this April day to say, "Ma, I'mhurt real bad." He had lost both legs to the people of purposeful menace. Then shortly after shelearned a second son had lost both his legs, too, her dismay now complete. In this way the bright

promise and happiness of the day died... to be replaced by disbelief, lamentation, and wonder thatthe work of so few could disrupt so many, so completely, and create so much pain. The universalquestion was 'How could this happen?"

Martin Richard.

Of those killed, I felt an immediate affinity for Martin Richard. Why? Because he was a boy whowrote improving messages on poster board. What's so important about that? Just this: I was such aboy myself and spent happy world-changing hours crafting my posters with Magic Markers likeMartin, just so: school election posters, powerful lines taken from a well-thumbed "Bartlett'sFamiliar Quotations", the ones designed to decorate my room (often featuring the strongest possiblewarnings to a younger brother who wanted in when I was determined he should stay out) and, ofcourse, the pieces de resistance, master works laboriously created, to be displayed in presidentialelections, then kept proudly for years in my clothes closet, until they, tattered, still venerated andprofoundly admired, were in shreds.

He was just 8 and his latest beauty, hand-lettered as usual, said a mouthful, "No more hurting people.Peace." It was festooned with those hard-to-make symmetrical hearts beloved of the very young andthe very young in spirit. The peace symbol anchored the bottom standing alone in majesty, the betterto make sure people knew it was a thing of the utmost significance and Martin's credo.

Of course, as many different colors as the young inventive mind could conceive , were riotouslyused to create this baby. He reckoned that such an important message called for such an abundanceof color as the world had never seen. Thus he applied his choices with verve, lavishly, restraintunthinkable.

In perhaps the last picture of Martin he stands before the world, a wisp of a lad, no heavier than asack of potatoes as my grandfather used to say, his smile a tad sheepish, proudly showing themessage that was the heart of his endeavor.

He died in an instant, his mother and sister were severely injured. And so the youthful advocate forwhat the world needs now became a mangled thing of blood, disfigurement, and death.

Thus he touched the world and became the very symbol for what we so desperately need and cannever have enough: peace. One hopes for the existence of God, if only so that Martin Richard canabide through eternity in serenity with the peace he urged upon us all... the peace he had for himselfsuch a little time.

4:21 p.m. Eastern. "Are you alright?"

The voice at the other end was the best of friends. "Turn on NPR at once. Are you alright?" And sothe great matter was brought with urgency to my attention, by someone who watches out for me. Bythat time, the cell phones of the world were overwhelmed by the calls of the near, dear andconcerned, all having but a single refrain: are you okay?

In such ways does love work... and if there was malice that day on the part of a handful, millionsdemonstrated love. And as these calls were made, so numerous that even the most sophisticatedsystems were overburdened and crashed, the people of Boston did what they have done since 1630in the face of every calamity: they said a little prayer, dusted themselves off, and helped the soreafflicted as best they could until the great resources of the great city could be summoned andbrought to bear.

For this is the city of the living God, as eternal as the Eternal City itself, the city the Pilgrimswrought from the inhospitable and daunting terrain, the very definition of fortitude, endurance,courage and unflinching resolution. This is the city which gave the men of '75 the ideas that changed

the course of world events and the lives of millions, including generations yet unborn.

We are the people of Boston, current custodians of her universal renown. And if our pain today issharp, deep, and acute, we have not bowed before the unfolding tragedy. That is not the way of thisplace and its people even under the greatest duress. There have been great tragedies in thesehallowed precincts before; there will be great tragedies again. We shall rise to every occasion, just aswe have risen to this one. In this way we honor our ancestors and provide the righteous example forthose who, in the fullness of time, will take on this essential burden of our greatness and humanity.

Envoi

Tragedies like this one must be remembered. Yet remembrance is difficult in a society where tragicincidents come thick and fast. We want to remember, we try to remember, but all too soon we cannotremember... and something essential is lost to us and our posterity.

Let us learn from London, a city of important incidents, people and events, all memorialized by bluehistorical plaques reminding us of what transpired in these critical places, each a thing which mightwell be forgotten if no conscious effort was made to remember. Yet remember we must for theconsequences of negligence put all our crucial memories at risk... and this is unacceptable.

The past is prologue, and we must do everything to ensure that its significance is never lost.Otherwise, the senseless deaths of Martin Richard and his companions for eternity will beunmitigated, their oblivion making a great tragedy more tragic still; thereby further blighting theseonce perfect spring days in the city of godliness, revolution, and unceasing incident.

Second Marathon bombing suspect captured All-day hunt brought Boston area to standstill; allegedaccomplice dead

In the waning moments of daylight, police descended Friday on a shrouded boat in a Watertownbackyard to capture the suspected terrorist who had eluded their enormous dragnet for a tumultuousday, ending a dark week in Boston that -began with the bombing of the worlds most prestigious

road race.

The arrest of 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev of Cambridge ended an unprecedented daylong siegeof Greater Boston, after a frantic night of violence that left one MIT police officer dead, an MBTATransit Police officer wounded, and an embattled public rattled again by the touch of terrorism huddled inside homes.

Tsarnaevs elder brother and -alleged accom-plice 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the secondsuspect in Mondays Boston Marathon attack was pronounced dead early Friday morning at BethIsrael -Deaconess Medical Center, -after suffering shrapnel and bullet wounds in a gunfight withpolice.

Its a proud day to be a Boston police officer, Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis told his forceover the radio moments after the arrest. Thank you all.

President Obama, addressing the nation from the White House, -applauded Boston for not allowing

the terrorists to prevail.

They failed because the people of Boston refused to be intimidated, the president said.

Friday will be remembered as the day the city stood still, after Governor Deval Patrick asked thepeople of Boston and the nearby communities of Watertown, Waltham, -Newton, Belmont, andCambridge to shelter in place stay inside, lock the door, and dont open it for anyone exceptpolice in uniform while the younger -Tsarnaev was on the loose.

A city of some 625,000, in a -metropolis of 2 million, screeched to a halt. Heavily armed officerspatrolled eerily empty streets that looked like the set of an apocalyptic movie. The MBTA halted itstrains, buses, and subways. Taxi service was temporarily frozen. Amtrak stopped service betweenBoston and Providence. Officials asked businesses across the region not to open. The Red Sox andBruins games were postponed. And the campus of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth,where -Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is a student, was evacuated and closed.

The day began with bomb blasts and gunshots on a street in Watertown, where police said more than200 rounds were fired in the battle.

While his brother was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Dzhokhar Tsarnaevsurvived and escaped on foot. Local, state, and federal law enforcement officers includ-ing theSecret Service, K-9 teams, -explosives experts, and SWAT officers searched door to door for thesuspect throughout Friday. Police in -helicopters scoured the streetscape from above. More than1,000 officers participated in the hunt.

By 6 p.m., frustrated officials relaxed the rule and allowed residents to leave their homes. The peopleof Watertown began to venture outside.

But within an hour, the crack of gunshots again blasted through the neighborhood. -Sirens blared,and officers on foot scrambled down Franklin Street.

Police found Dzhokhar -Tsarnaev hiding on a boat stored in a backyard on -Franklin Street. Police-exchanged gunfire with him before capturing him alive. Spontaneous celebrations erupted acrossthe region, from the -Boston Common to the Back Bay streets near the bombing.

The boats owners, a couple, spent Friday hunkered down under the stay-at-home order. When it waslifted early in the evening, they ventured outside for some fresh air and the man noticed the tarp onhis boat blowing in the wind, according to their his son, Robert Duffy.

The cords securing it had been cut and there was blood near the straps. Duffys father called police,who swarmed the yard and had the couple evacuated, Duffy said.

Residents, who had barricaded themselves in their homes for nearly 20 hours, were still deeplyshaken. Im so happy they got these guys, said Tom Sheridan, 35, an interior painter fromWatertown, as he cheered police cruisers and ambulances as they drove by on Mount -AuburnStreet. But Im worried there are more people out there like that. It wont be the same.

Tsarnaev was wounded and taken to a hospital. In an interview late last night, Patrick said he ishoping very deeply he survives those wounds, because Ive got a lot of questions and I knowinvestigators have a lot of questions for him.

Investigators believe the Tsarnaev siblings, originally from the former Soviet Republic ofKyrgyzstan, who came to the United States in the early 2000s, are responsible for the attack on theMarathon on Monday that killed three people and injured more than 170, many grievously.

The FBI-led investigation of the atrocity took a sudden and shocking turn Thursday afternoon after




7/10

the FBI released photos and videos of the alleged Marathon bombers and asked the public for helpidentifying them. The images showed two young men casually lugging backpacks along BoylstonStreet Monday, shortly before two bombs exploded near the finish line.

Investigators said they -believe the suspects carried crude but powerful bombs made from householdpressure cookers in their backpacks, which they abandoned on the sidewalk.

Upon release of the images, tips poured into the FBI. Within hours, the brothers -allegedly killedagain, shooting Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier in his cruiser, near-Vassar and Main streets in Cambridge, at about 10:24 p.m. The 26-year-old officer later died.

Police say the siblings carjacked a motorist minutes later on Memorial Drive. They released theunidentified motorist in Cambridge about 30 minutes latter, police said. He was not hurt. Later thatevening the timing is unclear an -MBTA police officer spotted the stolen car, and a cavalcadeof police cruisers chased the suspects into Watertown. The brothers threw explosives at the pursuingofficers, police said.

The brothers stopped near Dexter and Laurel streets, got out of the car, and traded gunfire withpolice for several minutes. MBTA Transit Police Officer Richard H. Donohue Jr., 33, was wounded.He was in stable condition Friday at Mount -Auburn Hospital.

The elder brother was shot in the battle and collapsed.As his brother lay on the street, DzhokharTsarnaev jumped into the car and took off, plowing past a line of police officers who fired furiously.As he drove, he ran over his brothers body. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev abandoned the car nearby and fledon foot, triggering an enormous search and setting the region on edge.

Police took Tamerlan -Tsarnaev to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center about 1:10 a.m. Friday. Hewas pronounced dead at 1:35 a.m. Dr. Richard Wolfe said the suspect had been hit by shrapnel froman explosion and that he had died from a combination of blasts and multiple gunshot wounds.

The question that remains is why the siblings would attack their adoptive nation. But a picture beganto emerge Friday of Tamerlan Tsarnaev as an aggres-sive, possibly radicalized immigrant who may

have -ensnared his younger brother described almost universally as smart and sweet into anact of terror.

I used to warn Dzhokhar that Tamerlan was up to no good, Zaur Tsarnaev, who identified himselfas a 26-year-old cousin, said by phone Friday from Makhachkala, Russia. [Tamerlan] was alwaysgetting into trouble. He was never happy, never cheering, never smiling. He used to strike hisgirlfriend. He hurt her a few times. He was not a nice man.

In a photo essay about boxing, Tamerlan said: I dont have a single American friend. I dontunderstand them.

In 2011, a foreign government asked the FBI for information about Tamerlan -Tsarnaev, based on

information that he was a follower of radical Islam who he had changed drastically, the bureausaid in a statement Friday. In response, the FBI investigated and interviewed Tamerlan and familymembers. The FBI did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign, the bureau said.

Dzhokhar, the suspect seen in FBI photos in a white cap worn backward, was a student at theUniversity of Massachusetts Dartmouth. On Wednesday, two days after the Marathon -attack, hespent the night at his dorm, according to a school -official who declined to be named. He was anall-star wrestler and a member of the class of 2011 at Cambridge Rindge & Latin School; he won aCambridge City Scholarship that year.

A Northeastern University sophomore who lived within blocks of Dzhokhar and graduated from




8/10

Cambridge Rindge and Latin with him described the younger bombing suspect as an honor studentpopular with classmates who enjoyed playing pickup basketball with a large circle of friends.

Gilberto Junior, 44, owner of Juniors Auto body in Somerville, said the younger suspect droppedoff a white Mercedes station wagon two weeks ago for repairs. Junior said he had not yet touchedthe car when the suspect came back demanding the car, the day after the bombing. The owner saidDzhokhar appeared nervous.

The family of 8-year-old Martin Richard, who died in the blasts, thanked law enforcement officersfor their work on the investigation. None of this will bring our beloved Martin back, or reverse theinjuries these men inflicted on our family and nearly two hundred others, the Dorchester familysaid in a statement. We continue to pray for healing and for comfort on the long road that lies aheadfor every victim and their loved ones.

William Campbell III, whose 29-year-old sister, Krystle M. Campbell, was killed when the bombswent off on Boylston Street Monday, said after -Tsarnaev was captured: Im happy that nobody elseis going to get hurt by these guys, but its not going to bring her back.

As for the rest of the family, including Krystles father, William Campbell Jr., and mother, PatriciaCampbell, theyre happy they got the guys, but basically they feel the same, he said. You can

only get so angry, and you then know shes not -going to be here anymore.
