”Why the Boston Marathon??”.
Maybe because it’s a well-known event attracting loads of people and media attention? Maybe because it celebrates patriotism?
“Why those two locations?”
The finish line is an obvious choice. Near the finish line? All the families are nearby, wanting to see their loved one cross the finish line.
“Will there be more?”
Do you really need to ask?
Just don’t see this race as important politically. Didn’t know it was even on until I saw a note on ESPN.
