(The following statement on the Boston Marathon tragedy is included in the latest EC from DC report from Congressman Emanuel Cleaver.)
What happened in Boston is quite simply – unimaginable. On a day when friends and families gathered, traveling from all over the world to celebrate and strive for greatness, an act of terror destroyed lives and shattered a sense of security. But this terrorist, or group of terrorists, whether foreign or domestic, will never succeed in robbing us of our way of life – nor will they escape our system of justice. I extend my deepest sympathies and my prayers to the families and loved ones of all of those killed and injured in this heartless attack. I commend the brave responders in Boston, and the kind and generous spirit of all of those Bostonians, and others, who rushed to help. They exhibited the true spirit of America.
