You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go.

A 22 year old women dressed as a participant in the Boston Marathon Bombing for halloween. The bloodied women wore a t-shirt with a participant number in the middle and running shorts and shoes as she posed with a flashing smile to a camera. My question to her is was this some kind of a joke? How can you explain  your decision for this heartless costume?

I am trying to look at the situation from both sides of the fence, but I am finding it quite difficult to argue that the costume might have served as a sign of honor and remembrance for those who were lost.
I wish this women would have thought about her costume more, because now she is suffering the despise and hate that comes with idiotic decisions. I find her action embarrassing and plain heartless.
