Boston Marathon Bombing
Boston Marathon Bombing

The bombing of Boston Marathon is now the issue about which all people are talking about. It turned to be the theme of many discussions in mass media, transportation means and even at home. Looking much deeper upon that terroristic attack, we shall find some questions need to be answered regarding this issue. The policy of the U.S should be revised concerning their seeking for those terrorists. The whole issue started when two bombs struck near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, turning the prepared celebrations into a bloody scene of destruction. According to what was said by Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis, the death toll had been three. Scores were injured at the scene. One of the dead was an 8-year-old boy, according to a state law enforcement source. Hospitals reported at least 144 people are being treated. At least eight of the patients are children. At least 10 people injured had limbs amputated, was treated by "serial operations" later on. Some injuries were so severe amputations were necessary. This all because of two mad young brothers vowed to protect and respect America and praised Allah to bless it. Some words are there about police deep failure said by many Americans connecting it to the failure of the CIA and FBI to prevent the 9/11 attacks, even though many of the perpetrators were known to these agencies and were being tracked. Despite the staggering security lapses that were acknowledged in the aftermath of 9/11, no high-level officials were fired. The American mass media have ignored an a report in the Russian newspaper Izvestia that it is in possession of documents from the Georgian Interior Ministry revealing that Tamerlan Tsarnaev , the guy who operated the attacks, attended a workshop in Georgia in the summer of 2012 sponsored by an organization called the Caucasus Fund, whose purpose was to recruit operatives in the northern Caucasus. The Georgian Interior Ministry has denied Izvestia ’s allegations,

    On April 15, 2013 I remember hearing from Mr. Ham that the Boston marathon had been bombed at the finish line. The only knowledge I had of this incident before I read about it— was that it was a terrorist attack. After reading this article explaining about the convictions of the two terrorists Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, there isn’t any sort of bias that I can see going on in this topic. Although the author doesn’t have her own argument about the situation, she talks about the dispute between the terrorists and the prosecutors and the jury. The prosecutors and the jury came to the conclusion that Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, were found guilty.…

    On Monday April 15 2013, which was Patriot Day, an atrocity happened in Boston, United States. As everyone already knew, it was the Boston Marathon Bombing. The annual Boston Marathon bombing started just like other years, without any clue of the calamity. The marathon began as usual and horde of crowds gather along the sidewalk, cheering for their families and friends. The contestants endured the tiredness and headed towards the finish line. A spontaneous chant of "Go, Go!" bursted out as the runners moved closer and closer towards the ending. But just then, a bomb was released on Boylston Street, near the finish line. Many people screamed, and the air was filled with dirt and gases.…

    When I watched the documentary, “Seconds from Disaster: 9/11” I learned so much about these horrific attacks on America, and I felt a wave of emotions pass over me. On the day of September 11, 2001, I learned that Operation Vigilant Guardian was scheduled to take place. This operation was to simulate an attack coming in from the nation’s borders as an air defence exercise to make sure America was prepared for war. In the early morning hours, 5 men checked in at Boston Logan Airport for American Airlines flight 11 to Los Angeles, CA from Boston, MA. 3 of the men were actually selected for extra scrutiny during security, yet all 5 men passed through security with no incidents whatsoever.…

    Tragedies seem unreal for people who are directly affected by them. There something that can either unite or destroy people. Just like making life decisions can take away a life or give life. A similar decision was made to take away Timothy McVeigh’s life as a sentence due to his action to bomb 168 individuals in the Murrah Building on April 19, 1995. This horrific circumstance is remembered as the Oklahoma City Bombing. One man’s decision to inflict pain, due to his strong faith, caused another to return the favor on a more intense level.Who is America to decide that she will be the bearer of life or, in McVeigh’s case, a barrier of death? “While the horrific scale of McVeigh’s crime seem to demand the ultimate penalty, there’s something…

    The two explosions that tore through the Boston Marathon nearly two years ago were like the second starting gun on April 15, 2013, a race against time to identify and capture the terrorists responsible. Bostonians were relived after an extensive manhunt ended in the apprehension of the Boston Marathon suspects, but which raised a host of legal issues including the potential consequence of authorities’ decision not to read Tsarnaev his Miranda rights, how might he be charged due to skewed media bias, and whether his case would be moved outside Boston to ensure a fair trial. The importance of these issues answer many controversial questions regarding the reach of the ambiguous legal system.…

    The Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 was a huge explosion that destroyed a federal office building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. One-hundred and sixty-eight people lost their lives in the terrible act of domestic terror. The bombing is believed to be an act of retribution from a fundamentalist sect known as the Branch Davidians. The Branch Daviadians had run-ins with the government before. Their compound was destroyed and any of their members were killed in the show down with federal agents. The Branch Davidians were a secretive underground private militia that harbored foul feelings towards the government in Washington. They were alienated citizens armed to the teeth, and were hyper-suspicious of all government activity. It wasn't only these radical…

    608). In this case, multiple surveillance tools, professionals and every day citizens functioned and worked together for the purposes of identifying and locating the bombing suspects. The bombing event is troubled further when we consider that, “the radical nature of this vision becomes more apparent when one realizes how any particular assemblage is itself composed of different discrete assemblages which are themselves multiple” (Haggerty & Ericson, 2000, p. 608). To flush this out further, three key parts of the surveillant assemble, as outlined by Haggerty and Ericson (2000), will be applied to the Boston Marathon bombing: component parts, the body, and rhizomatic surveillance. The bombing was framed around the notion of Islam extremism and terrorism. In summation of this paper, the framing of terrorism will be troubled as it distracts from clearly identifying the act. In place of it, the bombing of the Boston Marathon will be discussed as a control…

    In an attempt to desegregate the Boston Public Schools, the Massachusetts Supreme Court decided to bus students from white schools to black schools and vice versa, but unfortunately all it did was create protest and riots based on race in the 1970s. There were many problems that contributed to the Boston Busing Plan that made it completely ineffective. From the start of the desegregation process there was nothing but chaos, most importantly how the School Committee, the Superintendent, the Board of Education in the Commonwealth and the individuals within the organization handled the problems that were happening in the schools in the city of Boston. The schools were unequal in so many ways, prior…

    It was just another Patriots’ Day in Boston on April, 15th, 2013. It would be the 117th annual Boston Marathon, with spectators from all over the world. For Sydney Corcoran and her parents, they were there supporting their aunt run in the race (Brian 6). At 2:49 that afternoon, it would never be the same for Sydney. With over 5,600 runners still trying to complete the twenty-six mile run, a pressure-cooker bomb exploded near the finish line on Boylston Street. Next, another bomb exploded within seconds of the first, only a couple hundred feet down the street (“Boston” History). For Sydney, it was the beginning of a nightmare. She had lost her parents, and was down on the ground with a piece of metal the size of a cell phone stuck in her foot (Brian 5). There was no turning back now for most bystanders near the finish line, and the Boston Marathon would never be the same. The suffering and sadness of this tragedy left the city with three deaths, hundreds without limbs, several hospitalized, and billions of Americans worried about…

    In previous decades, terrorism has been on the rise, and it has only continued to grow since the attacks of September 11th. In 2014, according to The Economist Magazine, over 30 million people were killed worldwide due to terrorist attacks (Daily Chart, 2015). This number is more than double the number of deaths from the previous year. In addition, the U.S. Department of State has over 60 different organizations listed as active terrorist organizations worldwide (Foreign Terrorist Organization, n.d.). In order for an organization to be deemed a “terrorist” organization by the U.S. Department of State, they must not only be a foreign organization, but they must be involved with the execution or planning of activities that have a direct effect on U.S. nationals or U.S. national security (Foreign Terrorist Organization, n.d.). With this threat being the main concentration of the United States over the last decade and a half, and still growing, it is easy to see why this is an area that the United States IC will continue to keep its center of attention on. What does make this more difficult, is the associated…
