Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

No, we are not a third world country, and we are far from lawless. Generally speaking, most crime and violence has been trending downward for about 40 years.
However, there are always nuts, or fanatics, or politically-motivated extremists, who can justify to themselves the harm and killing of people we would consider "innocent" for their purposes, and short of a police state it is very hard to stop them all.
Personally I'd rather accept a certain level of violence than live in a police state.
