This act of violence had my eyes welling with tears - not just because it's been the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, but because I am a runner, I support my fellow runners, and just the fact that this was potentially preventable.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was questioned by and under the surveillance of the FBI in 2010. They let him go as they did not believe he was a threat. A statement was released that the Government simply doesn't have the manpower to keep tabs on everyone seeking asylum in the United States.
I'm sorry, that's not good enough for me!
Federal Employees are being furloughed and/or laid off. The United States Justice Department was the first department to have employees receive furlough notices, reducing manpower and therefore productivity. I have to wonder how many of these were FBI or CIA employees. So, we reduce the Justice Department's workforce, and use the excuse that they don't have enough employees to look out for all potential threats? Logic at it's finest.
God, please help our country...
