Boston honors victims; suspect can’t speak

At 2:50 p.m. Monday, Boston will fall silent to honor the victims of a tragedy that unhinged the city.

A minute later, bells will ring to mark the Boston Marathon bombings one week ago today.

As Americans reflect on the attacks, the lone surviving suspect remains hospitalized with a tube down his throat, unable to verbalize what he was thinking when a pair of bombs killed three people and wounded more than 170 others.

While authorities say Bostonians can rest easier now that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is in custody, nagging questions hinder any total sense of security: Why would the assailants want to kill or maim throngs of innocent civilians, and could this happen again?

    "And could this happen again." There is the mainstream media doing its job, keeping the people scared.

      As long as this closet case socialist president and the nanny state keep pushing this agenda of gun control, massive taxes and invasive policies it more thsn likely will happen again.

      Yes, @saywhat, I saw that. I trust our federal judicial system to deal with him as they dealt with McVey.
      State charges can always be filed later for the murder of the MIT officer and the carjacking.

      That's not news. That was known before he was captured. But we don't need stupid people talking abour Miranda rights because Miranda rights do not apply to suspected enemy combatants who commit acts of war.

    @justeye
    No one can say for sure. Can Virginia tech, Columbine or Colorado massacres happen again?
    But yes the longer an issue like this remains media focus grief,fear, anxiety & speculation linger also.

    No apology required @ Pete, since you were obviously speaking of someone else named donna, or pretending their name was donna. Which is more likely than not given how much of a trollster/jacker, we know that person to be!
