So as I am browsing the CNN breaking news page, I see one of the top most stories headline. "From stoner to accused Boston bomber...". Ohhhh gosh. They should really stop putting this guy in the limelight and only mention him when its about the trial. This article was much more than just the trial. Yes its is about how prosecutors are building a case with all of the evidence they have gathered and released said evidence in 24 photos. But what struck me in this article is how they also personified this boy. They said all of his interests, they gave his friends names and listed text conversations between his friends and him. He honestly did seem like a normal guy, up until he started talking about his "plan to paradise". It's so strange how people can harbor so many feelings of hate and still seem a-okay on the outside. He wouldn't be the first one to turn to hurting people because of their beliefs, but he has certainly put himself near the top of the list now. I hope that the people injured or killed by him last year can one day breathe easy, and not have that constant reminder or fear of that day. I hope that this boy feels remorse, at least. Mostly, I hope this never happens again. I hope people can just forget about him and move on, no more giving him fame, because that's exactly what they were trying to do by bombing us.
Here's the article if you're interested.

I also read this article and have mix feelings about the whole situation. I agree that they shouldn't be giving him more publicity and should keep this on the back burners. Hopefully the whole trial is over soon and we can let these grieving families finally get some closure.
