There will be more here, as soon as I can get enough fucking sleep to form sentences, but let me say this:  If I hear one more goddamned person demonizing these suspects, I'm going to flip my shit.

One of them, the one that's, at least as of now, still alive, had a picture and below it, a caption about how he has no American friends, about how he "doesn't understand them."  Meaning us.

Everyone I know is "monstering" this kid, but what did he say??  Once afuckingain, he told us EXACTLY why this shit went down, and once afuckingain, we're going to ignore it.

No, what they did (if they, in fact, did it, which it does kind of look like is the case) was terrible.  There are no words in me to capture how....unthinkable, cruel, malicious...this bombing was.  The time, the place, the day...it's all so calculated and cold.

But if his quotation is accurate, that's how he experienced his time here.

At a certain point, we--all of us--need to look at our own behavior, our own assumptions.  We need to look at how we treat other people, we need to examine our motivations, our xenophobia, our exclusivity.  

Now I get to go to work, part two, for the day.  Hopefully this mess will be over when I'm done.
Peace.
