“No more hurting people. Peace” ~ Martin Richard

Posted on April 17, 2013 by Andrew Shattuck McBride

Is there a more profound message of peace than this, from a young child?

The picture is of Martin Richard, the 8-year-old boy killed in the Boston bombings.

Other members of Martin Richard’s family were injured badly.

To those murdered: rest in peace.

I send my deepest condolences to the victims’ families and friends, and wishes for recovery to all of the injured.

    This photo wrecks me even harder than Monday’s images of panic and blood. Such a sweet child, and such an important message, lost.
