Joining me is nbcs ron mott. Were hearing a lot of reactions. And henry boarguard said he was happy tsarnaev made the statement. What are you hearing from other folks and what they may think . Reporter i think a lot of people are going to talk about what tsarnaev didnt say. He never renounced terrorism in his apology.
