Tsarnaev had four minutes to change history * Trigger Warning *

The violence, the description of those deaths. *Trigger Warning*

By Kevin CullenGlobe Columnist March 04, 2015

Four minutes. That’s how long Dzhokhar Tsarnaev stood there, next to the kids watching the Marathon on the sidewalk on Boylston Street, outside the Forum.

Four minutes. That’s how long he had to consider what the pressure cooker bomb he had in his backpack would do to those children, the Richard kids.

He had 240 seconds to play in his head the way the BBs and tiny pieces of metal would be propelled, like hot razors, into those kids.

After four minutes, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev turned right, while everybody else’s head jerked left, looking down Boylston, to where the bomb planted by his brother Tamerlan exploded in front of Marathon Sports, killing Krystle Campbell.

They discussed it, planned it, bought the supplies for it, studied how to make bombs, planned and provisioned for their escape, transported their bombs, planted their bombs and THEN stood there for 4 minutes.

Thank you for thinking of us here in Boston. Yes, it's going to be hard. Tears indeed. I wasn't there that day, I usually go, but that year my niece was going to my sisters with the babies. I just had to see them.

I knew so many people who were there that day. A sister store was a few doors down from the second blast. One of my friends went to the street to help.

Tears~

people kill because they want to kill. The 'reason' is just an excuse. An excuse to do what they are going to do anyway.
