As I write this at 10:00 AM EDT Friday Morning, April 19, 2013, the last of the bomber suspect brothers is still on the run in Greater Boston. One of the alleged bombers has been shot and killed, and his younger brother has fled to somewhere in the nearby area.
Hundreds and hundreds of police, military, and federal agents are sweeping the Boston area, house-by-house, in an effort to end the chase; hopefully without further blood being shed. Already an MIT university policeman has been killed overnight, and a Transit Authority policeman has been injured. And the entire city of Boston and most of the Northern suburbs have been put on "lockdown" -- a term and concept not easily applied to major cities, usually applied to schools (where the children are kept inside for their own safety).
There are many tragedies happening because of this extended drama -- the Muslim religion is taking another "hit" as anti-American/anti-freedom/anti-life; the concept of legal immigration will be set back some time in the midst of real progress being made on that issue; violence has begun to settle in as "the new normal" in every American's life; the "fear" of just living in our modern world has been disproportionately jacked up to incredible levels. And we still have to live on -- through it all.
