Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

I will not pretend there is anything to celebrate here. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev appears on this site as a record, not a tribute. What stays with me is how ordinary his life looked, a university student in Massachusetts, right up until he and his brother bombed the Boston Marathon in 2013, killing three people and wounding hundreds. The lesson I draw is uncomfortable: radicalization rarely announces itself; it grows quietly out of resentment and rootlessness. My sympathy belongs entirely to the victims and their families. If documenting a name like this serves any purpose, it is keeping the memory of that day sharp enough that we stay vigilant.
