The violence, the description of those deaths. *Trigger Warning*By Kevin CullenGlobe Columnist March 04, 2015
Four minutes. Thats how long Dzhokhar Tsarnaev stood there, next to the kids watching the Marathon on the sidewalk on Boylston Street, outside the Forum.
Four minutes. Thats 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 elses head jerked left, looking down Boylston, to where the bomb planted by his brother Tamerlan exploded in front of Marathon Sports, killing Krystle Campbell.

(83,791 posts)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~
