The Michael Barry Show. It wason tax Today. April fifteenth, twenty
thirteen. Was eleven years ago.Two bombs exploded near the finish line at
the Boston Marathon in of Course,Boston, Massachusetts, killing three people and
injuring two hundred and sixty four others. Here was the ABC News report of
(00:22):
that The attack appears time for maximumimpact, just before two point fifty pm.
This is the viewpoint seen by manyof the twenty six thousand marathon runners
who were approaching the finish line.The first of the two explosions rocks the
sidewalk along the course, white smokeblasting to the air, blowing metal barricades
(00:46):
into the street. It's viewing shrapnelinto crowds gathered at the finish. The
moment captured from multiple angles. Justas the race clock approaches the four hour
and ten minute mark, marathon runnerBill Effret is knocked to the ground.
(01:11):
Twelve seconds later, as many fleethe scene, a second explosion goes off
about one hundred and thirty yards fromthe first, less than a block away.
Hold get out of the stairs,very loud. It had ground you
if you could feel it going downfor you. As the injured lay on
the pavement, blood staining the ground. Emergency medical technicians, Boston police and
(01:36):
some four hundred National Guardsmen already onhand for the race immediately triage the wounded.
The event's medical tent was transformed intoa trauma unit. I saw one
guy with his legs gone at theknees and some haggles on feet, messache
trapping wounds on people on the sideof the head. By three pm,
just as the President is being briefedon the attacks, reports trickle in them
(01:57):
yet another explosion, this time itbossed JFK Library. It's later deemed unrelated,
but in the growing confusion, thereare reports of additional devices, and
several schools and hospitals are briefly evacuated. Meanwhile, over one hundred and thirty
victims are being transported to six areahospitals. At just after six pm,
President Obama addresses the country, vowingto find those responsible. Make no mistake,
(02:23):
we will get to the bottom ofthis. Any responsible individuals, any
responsible groups, will feel the fullweight of justice. There is a Netflix
documentary on that called American Manhunt.The Boston Marathon Bombing American Manhunt. If
(02:46):
you just put in Boston Marathon,and I think they do a pretty good
job of recreating the scene and tellingthe story of what happened. I remember
the two brothers went on the run, and the one the one. They
(03:07):
end up in a shootout and theyounger one is trying to get away and
runs over his brother, I meanruns over his Look, don't, don't
don't. I mean, if yousee the video footage, he knows exactly
(03:30):
what he's just don I'm not.I don't know that he did it on
purpose, but he was getting awayand he wasn't stopping, and his brother
could just be dead. He didn't. He wasn't if he killed him,
and so be it. Of course, they killed another officer as they were
playing. They took the guy,the Asian guy, hostage, and he's
(03:53):
the one that really brought the thingto a close because he jump out of
the car and went to the gasstation and called and they figured out we
better run. But I remember afterall of that that Obama again made the
(04:14):
call, you know, don't blameMuslims, because these were radical Muslims doing
this in the name of Islam,And don't blame the Muslims. You're bad
people. Don't blame the Muslims.And there is always this effort to tell
us that we're just going to blamethe Muslims for the things that Muslims do,
(04:35):
and that we're bad people because we'regoing to blame the Muslims. And
I never hear anyone blame the Muslims, but they're very determined that we not
blame the Muslims. It is asif there is an effort to taunt American
citizens that no matter how many illegalsoverrun your country, don't blame the illegals,
(04:57):
don't stop them, don't blame them, don't be evil, be open
minded, be open minded to yourown demise. Open your doors to these
people literally and let them have whatyou have. Open your families to them
that they may be slaughtered raped.Open your public institutions to them, your
(05:20):
schools and your hospitals. Open youreconomy to them. Where you're being replaced,
and the numbers reveal you are beingreplaced, and don't you dare criticize
it. And this is the part, This is the taunting. This is
the older boy with the younger kid, you know, reaching his hand out
(05:43):
and putting it on the head sothat as the kid swings. He can't
even. This is where the psychologicaloperation is in full of fact, and
I think it has people so twistedup, so anxious, so confused,
use in some people so debilitated theyhave lost the ability And I hear this
(06:06):
every day. They've lost the abilityto fight back because this is some really,
really three dimensional advanced psychological warfare onthe American people, and it is
very hard for people to keep theirwits about them, to remain rational,
(06:28):
reasonable, engaged through it all.But I remember that Rolling Stone put the
younger brother, I'm not going tosay his name. They put the younger
brother on the cover, and theyhad done this elaborate photo shoot and the
intent was to make him sort ofsome seductive, handsome but also innocent,
(06:53):
also wounded type guy, and itgot people talking about Rolling Stone. We're
doing to this day, and Iremember how angry people were over all of
that, And it's fascinating to methat there are people among us, all
(07:13):
among us, who are willing tocelebrate those who would destroy our country.
Fascinating because Rolling Stone's going down too. Are they still in business? The
