The police identified Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as the prime suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing on Thursday before they led authorities on a chase and a firefight and one Boston union decided to give a message to the killers, putting up a billboard near the marathon finish line.

According to ABC.com, a billboard was erected with the word "coward" and is located near the I-93 expressway in Boston. The billboard was from the local chapter of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) union local 103 and while it usually has messages related to the union, but with the attacks they decided to change it. It also readys every 10 seconds, "Pray For Boston".

"It was Local 103′s way of shouting out our feelings of anger: Cowards," business manager Michael P. Monahan told ABCNews.com.

While no union worked died in the blast, the HQ is based where eight-year-old Martin Richard was from, the youngest to perish in the blast. Authorities have locked down the city and Watertown and are chasing the suspect after a firefight last night left one cop injured and one suspect dead.
