The news of the Boston bombings and the capture of the two American citizens of Chechen background has been a tragedy as well as a powerful symbol of what we all really think. After checking out the digital witch hunt that was unfolding on Reddit.com I found that there was a live Boston emergency services broadcast available online. Strangely, after checking it out after the murder of an MIT Police Officer the radio chatter turned to a car jacking at a 711 with the suspects described as ‘middle eastern’.
Now that the entire tragedy has played out with one brother dead and one in hospital I wondered why these two Chechen brothers would be described as “middle eastern’, not from the police officers but from the witnesses. Was it their looks? Probably not. Accent? They probably had a foreign accent but it would have sounded more Russian than middle eastern. Or was it the guns, explosives and apparent confession to the carjacking victim that they were responsible for the Boston marathon bombings?
With kjwriteleft.com now entering into a more mature age for a website I have decide to take a quick look at what is in store for the site. If you are a regular to the site you will know that I try and change things around often and try and have new content.
