This was a helluva week in Boston.  I lived there for five of the most glorious years of my life.  I made forever friends in the northeast.  Along with the rest of the country, I was captivated by the history that evolved this week.

On Monday, one of the women who work for me told me at about lunch time that one of our colleagues and her partner were safe.  I asked safe from what?  My manager said, “Didn’t you hear about the bombings?”

Our colleague’s partner has just crossed the finish line, grabbed her water, and they were a block away when the 1st blast went off.  They were pretty shaken. No pun intended.

My week ended with my texting and calling two of my dearest friends who happen to live, in all cities, Watertown.  They were in locked down in their home and my pals were on the internet quietly providing updates they were safe, helicopters were in the sky, and that they heard gunshots.  Finally, the news broke the 2nd bomb suspect had been captured.

What really interests me in this whole story is the American justice system.  Over the course of the next several months there will be a formal sentencing, trial, and a final judgement.  If I were king, I would have a slightly different approach to punishment for murder.  If I were king I would propose implementing one or more of the following sentences for the surviving victim’s actions of death and destruction at the Boston Marathon:

• Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, you have been convicted of 4 counts of murder and 170 counts of intent to murder.  You will be flown to a height no lower than 30,000 feet and dropped from the sky without a parachute
• Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, you have been convicted of 4 counts of murder and 170 counts of intent to murder.  You will be dropped in shark infested water bleeding from several razor blade cuts
• Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, you have been convicted of 4 counts of murder and 170 counts of intent to murder.  You will be shipped to North Korea and dressed in a “I hate Kim Jong-un” tee shirt
• Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, you have been convicted of 4 counts of murder and 170 counts of intent to murder.  Your new home will be the Tiger Den at the Bronx Zoo
• Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, you have been convicted of 4 counts of murder and 170 counts of intent to murder.  You will hang by your testicles until dead

I’m having difficulty believing there is adequate punishment for people who commit heinous crimes like the one we witnessed on Monday.  Our current prison system is not enough.  I want the SOB who ruined our Patriots Day and killed and injured those innocent people to suffer forever.  Every act of violence reduces our freedom to do, to say, and to live how we want.

I curse these SOB’s. The older brother getting run over and killed by the younger brother proves God loves us.  I hope justice will prevail and forever hell is where they’ll reside.

Please join me in the crusade to love one another and make people laugh.
