    I could not think of anything I could say at the time, but today I saw a recording of the people running to help, pulling away the barriers where all the national flags had been flying, and the poles toppled so the flags sank down to the ground, half in salute, I thought, and half acknowledging that they were no longer needed - there were people in need and all barriers came down to get to them.

    Aye, Simon and Anne.

    We in the United States thank our cousins over the water for your outpouring love love and support as we face more dark days. We shall stand together in unity and declare that peace and togetherness are our creed, that hope and love are our banner, and that freedom and liberty are our rallying cry.

    Steve and Ken, I am very glad that your families are safe. You and yours were truly blessed yesterday.

    Another outrage upon innocent people engaged in innocent activity. Truly the action of some warped individual or individuals. Interesting that no responsibility has been claimed so one has to wonder just what was the motive behind it. My prayers go out to all those affected.

    This is one which hits close to home, as a former marathon runner and as a visitor who was made most welcome in the friendly city of Boston.
    I can never understand how some sad lonely individual can somehow gain warped pleasure from killing a child and injuring other innocent bystanders.
    Prayers being said for the families of the bereaved.

    Very surreal morning here in the greater Boston area; let's just hope this ends quickly and without further harm to bystanders and LEOs.
