Heroes in Boston

After watching videos and seeing the pictures I'm inspired. Not with the mayhem, or chaos. But the heroes. The men and women running TOWARD the chaos. The people jumping into action to help their fellow man. Yes the first responders and folks on site, but also the pedestrians that were jumping onto the wounded, applying pressure to stop the bleeding. Those are the people that fascinate me. I'm sure as things settle and the story is straightened out as to who and why these unthinkable acts transpired our sights (as they always do) will drift; from the heroes to the villain.

It's a shame. I'm still not sure why society glorifies the scum as they do. Hell in Canada last year the press named the psycho that cut up someone and mailed his pieces all over as NEWS MAKER OF THE YEAR. Or the man that killed the people in the theatre in Aurora. Or the scumbag that tormented sandy hook.

All boosted up by media to sell papers or adds and so on. Why not dedicate more time to the folks that lived, the people that stood by and said "not while I'm here!" That's where the real interest is.

Who ever did this act of violence and hatred did get what they wanted. There are people dead, many injured, and city in chaos. But they did not succeed in one place. They did not break us. They did not break the human spirit. Sure they did a hell of a number on it. But watching the videos and seeing the pictures of the heroes in Boston takin care of the wounded should only help to build your faith in humanity when something like this tried to destroy it. As Patton Oswald said we out number the scum, and we will prevail.

Stay strong Boston. Hearts, thoughts and prayers are coming from all over the world for you.
