‘Cowards’ Billboard: A billboard sprung up in Boston that reads “Cowards,” which is aimed at the two Boston Marathon bombing suspects.
The sign is located off the I-93 expressway that goes through the city and according to ABC News, was set up by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) union. The billboard is normally used for union-related messages but that changed on Tuesday.
The billboard switches from “Cowards” to “Pray for Boston,” the station reported.
“It was Local 103′s way of shouting out our feelings of anger: Cowards,” business manager Michael P. Monahan was quoted as saying.
In the past day, one of the bombing suspects, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was shot and killed in a police stand off. His brother, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is still on the run.
Boston authorities have set up a lockdown and have launched a massive manhunt to find him.
Massachusetts state police say they believe the sole surviving Boston bombing suspect is still in the state because of his ties to the area.
SWAT teams in armored vehicles took command of the tense and locked-down streets of Boston and its suburbs Friday in an all-out hunt for the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect after his older brother died in a desperate getaway attempt.
Police say the brothers shot and killed an MIT policeman, severely wounded another officer and hurled explosives at police during a furious gun battle and car chase. They say Tsarnaev slipped through officers’ fingers in a hail of bullets, running over his wounded brother as he drove off.
