"Whoever did this obviously did not know...about the people of Boston, because nothing these terrorists do is going to shake them. For Pete sake — Boston was founded by the pilgrims — a people so tough they had to buckle their hats on! It is the cradle of the American Revolution. A city that withstood an 86-year losing streak! A city that made it through The Big Dig — a construction project that backed up traffic for 16 years; there are commuters just getting home now...They attacked the Boston Marathon – an event celebrating people who run 26 miles on their day off until their nipples are raw — for fun!"
