“You may not know this but… there’s things that gnaw at a man worse than dying.”

In the case of the now canceled ‘March Against Fear’ rally set for tomorrow – Easter Sunday – in Brussels, Belgium; the above quote from the movie “Open Range” proves apt.

The organisers of a “March Against Fear” planned for Sunday to mark the Brussels terror attacks said they had cancelled the event after the authorities asked them to do so because of security fears.
“We understand this request. The security of our citizens is an absolute priority. We join the authorities in proposing a delay and ask people not to come this Sunday,” the organisers said in a statement on Saturday.

Believe me, I understand the fears of the citizens of Belgium given the recent terrorist attacks. I can even understand the security concerns by the authorities. To an extent.

Unfortunately for the citizens of Brussels, the terrorists have demonstrated who has the power, and with the cancelling of this event continue to hold the winning hand.
