No more hurting people. PEACE

Young Martin Richard's message should be remembered by all who saw what senseless violence did to our Marathon.

Now that the brothers who bombed the Boston Marathon have been found and taken down, let us remember the words of the boy who was their youngest victim, eight year old Martin Richard of Dorchester.

On a poster board Martin had written No more hurting people   PEACE

May young Martin's message resonate throughout our country and the world, bringing us all to our senses, bringing us real peace and true brotherhood.
