Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Brother Tamerlan's Reign of Terror Over
The world has been gripped by fear since Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, two brothers from the Chechnya region in Russia, detonated two home made bombs at the Boston Marathon on Monday: wounding over one hundred and fifty bystanders and killing three, including an eight year old boy.
Their actions didn't end there, as the Tsarnaev's would murder an MIT police officer in cold blood, hijack a Mercedes SUV and briefly its owner, before releasing him unharmed, crashed the Mercedes while transit police were following them, which led to a explosive shootout that resulted in Tamerlan's death and another officer seriously wounded.
And even after all of this, Dzhokhar was still at-large.
Boston was essentially shut down at the conclusion of Friday night's epic battle across Boston's suburbs, as one extremely dangerous terrorist remained at large as investigators began to piece the full story together. It was unnerving to see entire neighborhoods to close down their schools, shutter their businesses and in effect call for martial law until the last Tsarnaev was captured. This just doesn't happen in America.
After a day of fear and uneasiness, during which we learned the two men had become radicalized in Islam over the past several years - particularly Tamerlan, who took an unexplained prolonged visit to Russia last year and was previously questioned by the FBI for extremist ties - police finally received the final break in the case.
A resident on Franklin Street, just outside of the twenty block area that was essentially under martial law yesterday, noticed blood on the side of his boat in the backyard and after closer examination, discovered Dzhokhar - the most wanted man in America - severely bleeding on the floor of his vessel and called it in.
With gunfire exchanged between the bleeding terrorist and police officers, and after an intense standoff, it was finally over: Tsarnaev was captured by police, being rushed to the hospital with serious injuries, a city plagued in fear rejoiced for their tormentor was off the streets and the Boston police allowed themselves a sigh of relief.
Four people, including an innocent eight year old boy and a MIT police officer who never unholstered his weapon, were murdered by the Tsarnaev brothers, along with nearly two hundred wounded and the once peaceful City of Boston scarred by the heinous crimes of the past week.
But alas, our good citizens can relax in peace this weekend, for the reign of terror is over.
What say you?
