Islandloverr, we all judge people's actions all the time, just as you are judging me and even FEMA, our media and our judicial system. See how it works? I judge them, too, at times. Those people on the internet with all of the wild theories are judging our leaders, first-responders and victims. People who come to this country from another one and speak up about it negatively are judging it and we judge them back and they judge us. We judge things this and other countries do and each other anytime someone or a country steps over our perceived lines of propriety. If you don't believe that - don't ever go on Twitter! lol But, yes, I am judging her for jumping to conclusions that her sons are not cold-blooded bombers, are entirely innocent and our officials guilty of falsely accusing them. Guilty as charged. I'm further betting that she and his father knew about his recent radicalization.
And I further believe if anything happens to change the investigators' minds about the mens' guilt and exculpate them, they will present that evidence, too, and go in another direction. Remember Richard Jewel and Eric Robert Rudolph?
When this first happened, so many of the commentators and writers said the bombers were likely members of an ultra right-wing white supremacist group. Judging! Others looked sideways as certain ethnicities - making immediate judgments about why as well. Many judged that a certain radical religious group was behind it.
I am proud that by and large, though, this terrible event has brought us together closer than ever as a country made up of immigrants and people feel pretty grateful this all was brought fairly quickly to a conclusion by our law enforcement community. Job well done.
