The surviving bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev of Chechnya, was tried, convicted and sentenced to death.

Tsarnaev spoke words of apology, but when jurors looked at his face, all they saw was a stone-faced stare.  Now, Tsarnaev is guilty, there's no doubt about that. He murdered and maimed innocent people, and I'm not here to debate that. My heart goes out to all the people who suffered.

  Psychology 101: The human brain does NOT function effectively in the midst of disorder, disorganization and chaotic situations - your brain prefers a life with order, precision, accurate prediction, and purpose with goals to live it - **By Hector Williams Zorrilla Dr. Viktor Emil Frankl (pictured on the cover of this short essay), survived the Nazi Holocaust. His elderly mother, his brother and almost all of his close relatives died in the gas chambers, or by forced labor and starvation. Dr. Frankl saw many thousands of people of all ages die before his eyes, while he waited for his turn to be put into the gas chambers. Dr. Frankl survived the Nazi Holocaust, and was released when that dark nightmare in the pages of humanity ended. Dr. Frankl became a world hero. In the midst of that horrible and indescribable situation, Dr. Frankl learned several things about how the human brain works in the midst of the imminent danger of physical death.
