Ordinary bystanders performed heroically, using belts for tourniquets, dousing flames.
Nor can we forget bravery of Dun Meng.

"Those of us who sat through this, from beginning to end, heard things they will never forget, good and bad," the Judge says.

by Milton Valencia via twitter 6/24/2015 6:01:38 PM
Medical response was heroic.
Two memories: EMS chief Jim Hooley describing color flags on priorities.

#Tsarnaev

by Kevin Cullen via twitter 6/24/2015 6:02:02 PM
Judge says he has two particular vivid memories of testimony: EMT's decisions to triage victims (split-second decision to categorize people)

The other was reviving Dic Donohue after he was clinically dead.
Commends professional response of law enforcement.

No path to glory, but condemnation.
Quotes Verdi opera: I believe in a cruel God.
Someone who kills the innocent believes in that.
#Tsarnaev

by Kevin Cullen via twitter 6/24/2015 6:06:04 PM
Judge: Truly if you believe God wants you to kill people believes in a "cruel god" That cannot be the God of Islam.
