I know that in the City there are lots of professional people walking around. I'm familiar with Philadelphia and there are lots of medical people that work in the City at children's, cancer and general hospitals and always lots of cops.
I am sorry because lots of people were badly injured and the ones who lost their lives were young and had promising futures and were innocent. I wouldn't want any of that to happen to my family.

I grew up in CHOP (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) due to some health issues. Some of the absolute best nurses I ever had (including a male nurse while in ICU) had tattoos. One even had gauged ears. The male nurse was a big buff guy with tattoos on his arms. He was the sweetest, gentlest nurse, and the best at getting an IV in first time around. He was in the marines but had to be discharged after an injury or something. When someone is doing all they can to keep you healthy the first thing on your mind isn't their tattoo. I've been septic twice and I assure you I wouldn't have cared whether my nurse or doctor was blue head to toe or had idiot tattooed on their head so long as they could make the pain stop. I have a feeling everyone injured in Boston felt similar regarding their situation.
