At a briefing Monday evening on the deadly explosions that erupted earlier in the day in Boston, President Barack Obama urged the American people to show restraint before all of the facts have emerged while promising that those responsible “will feel the full weight of justice.”
“We don’t know who did this or why. And people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we have all the facts,” Obama said. “But make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this. And we will find out who did this, we’ll find out why they did this. Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice.”
