They're not the only ones.
Within hours of the twin bombing attacks on the Boston Marathon last year on April 15, the phrase “Boston Strong” began popping up all over the city – scrawled in sidewalk chalk, stenciled in spray paint, and, later, screen-printed on T-shirts.
In the days and months that followed, the motto became a message of solidarity for people all over the country wishing to express their support for the city. And it was a vehicle to raise money for the One Fund, a charity established by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D) and Thomas Menino, then mayor of Boston, the day after the attack.
A year later, the motto has become so ubiquitous that some residents are wondering if enough is enough.

Besides, they acted anything but strong. They caved in as their streets were turned into militarized zones and complied much too easily as SWAT teams made them march out of their own homes.
