With details surrounding Monday's explosion at the Boston Marathon still developing, the tragedy's scope can be overwhelming. Solace can be found in the acts of decency that grew out of the aftermath of a horrible event:

A Google Docs form was created, giving Boston residents the ability to share their contact information and open up their homes to marathon runners from outside of the area who had nowhere to go.

The Google Doc wasn't the only example of kindness and humanity following the unfathomable tragedy...

I am beyond heartbroken for the victims and their families. I hope they find the people responsible for this horrific tragedy. In all of the sadness and carnage, it is heartening to see stories like this about perfect strangers stepping up and reaching out to help.

It’s to be expected...but where is the OUTRAGE!

Everyday folks are what make this country great. Unfortunately, meanwhile, we have gasbags like Chris Matthews whose first reaction to this sort of tragedy is to look for political advantage and slander those he hates.

I keep wondering also. Instead of flowers or teddy bears, I'd rather see people demanding someone's hide.
