VOTE: Will Bloomberg's Ads Help Republicans?Last week the group was forced to apologize after memorializing accused Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev as a victim of gun violence during a rally in Concord, N.H. Protesters and counter-protesters clashed at the rally, which was part of MAIG's "No More Names" bus tour. As a list of gun victims was read, one counter-protester shouted "he's a terrorist!" when the Chechen immigrant's name was read.Tsarnaev "was absolutely not a victim, his name should have been deleted before the list was provided to a family member for reading and his name should never have been read," said the group in a statement. "It was a mistake, it should not have happened and we sincerely apologize."
Shooting Tsarnaev when he did not surred=nder was justified, so he was not a victim of undue "gun violence". But he was a victim of his own violence,
