Death penalty for Boston bomber Dzokar Tsarnaev

[i kne albert davy]

America = Murdering backward c**t of a nation.

Really, I'd just call this a bit of vermin removal.

If someone murders somebody else they lose the right to life, America is not murdering anybody in this situation.

Life in prison is not enough for the families. Governments change over time & the vaguest possibility that this c*nt could ever see the light of day needs to be wiped out.

If the cowardly c*nt wanted to die he would have stood next to his bomb.

I despair of anyone who even mentions the word 'rehabilitation' when discussing a crime like this. Put yourself in the shoes of the families of those who died.

I despair of anyone who even mentions the word 'rehabilitation' when discussing a crime like this. Put yourself in the shoes of the families of those who died.

This is why we separate the idea of revenge and justice, and don't allow family members to sit on juries.

But I'd like you to read this:

The father of an eight-year-old boy murdered during the Boston Marathon bombing told a court on Thursday how he had to leave his dying son’s side to tend to the wounds of his grievously injured daughter.

Bill Richard’s son Martin was the youngest of the three people killed during the April 2013 attack and his daughter Jane had her leg torn off by the second of the two explosions.

Mr Richard looked directly at Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the alleged bomber, as he confirmed that his son died at the finish line of the Boston Marathon nearly two years ago.

In a halting voice, Mr Richard described how “a beautiful day” with his wife and three young children was ripped apart by a pressure cooker bomb allegedly planted by Tsarnaev.

As his son Martin lay dying in the arms of his wife, Mr Richard decided he had no choice but to try to save the life of his seven-year-old daughter Jane.

“I saw a little boy who had his body severely damaged by an explosion and I just knew from what I saw that there was no chance,” Mr Richard told the jurors.

“I knew in my head that I needed to act quickly or we might not only lose Martin but we might also lose Jane, too.”

Tsarnaev, 21, who may face the death penalty if convicted, rarely looked up as Mr Richard gave his testimony on the second day of the trial in Boston.

Of all the families devastated by the bombings, the Richards lost the most.

Martin died at the scene and Jane survived only after surgeons amputated her left leg. Mr Richard suffered burns and shrapnel cuts while his wife Denise was left blind in one eye. Their oldest son, Henry, was the only one to leave Boylston Street without serious injury.

A photograph of gap-toothed Martin, holding a sign that read “No more hurting people. Peace”, became one of the most enduring images of the tragedy at the marathon.

At a memorial a few days after the attack, President Barack Obama spoke of Martin’s “big smile and bright eyes” and how his “last hours were as perfect as an eight-year-old boy could hope for”.

Mr Richard told the court that going to the marathon had become “a ritual” for his active family and how the excited children had stopped for ice cream a few minutes before the blast.

“I can even remember of what each of them ordered,” Mr Richard told Nadine Pellegrini, one of the prosecutors. “But unless you want to know I’ll keep them to myself.”

The prosecutor replied: “I’ll let you keep your memories.”

Mr Richard has serious loss of hearing from the blast but told the court: “I can still hear music. I can still hear the beautiful voices of my family.”

Tsarnaev faces 30 terrorism charges. His elder brother Tamerlan, 26, the second suspect in the bombing, was killed in a shootout with police days later

​

Bill Richard had to choose whether to comfort his dying son or attend to his horrifically wounded daughter and try to save her life. He made an impossible choice forced on him by a crazed lunatic.

He also campaigned against the death penalty for Tsarnaev.

Don't bring your "don't somebody PLEASE think of the families" bullshit here.

Can understand the anger to want him dead I really can.

But I just don't believe in the death penalty, make him work!

JOTL's pathological absence of empathy on a number of political subjects makes that part of his post even further immersed in bullshit.

 

[blueincy]

Joking aside I applaude what the court's sentence is the evil bastard deserves what he gets..

 

[MCFCTrick]

That's the note he wrote whilst cowering in that boat.

Most of the victims have pleaded with the jury for life in prison without parole because the appeal system in the US is so convoluted it will potentially be decades of dragging up the past before he finally gets the lethal injection.

I think the key part there is him cowering in the boat. If he truly believed half of that shit he would have taken on the cops and been gunned down as quick as possible not go on the run hiding in a boat. He is scared shitless of dying as people who have seen him in his cell have said.

exactly.

i would line up the jab but put something harmless in the tube. let him think thats it. when he realises he's been duped wait a month and do it again, same shit. after a random number of fucking with his head do the deed.make this c**t suffer in every way possible.

Great idea .... make this cowardly piece of filth suffer ...

 

[mat]

It was a unfair trial from the start. How would a jury not swayed by what they witnessed that day to give a fair judgement?

I laughed when the DA announced how great their justice system is. Try telling that to most of Baltimore.

I'm not agreeing with the cowardly and savage attack on that day. I just think natural justice wasn't even a factor.

Death penalty is pretty simple to dismiss really. Always has been.

Is it a deterrent?

Considering we still have crime increases in death penalty states then obviously not and those who lost the death penalty or reintroduced it saw little to no change in the direction of their crime.

Is it cheaper?

No, death penalty prisoners go through numerous appeals processes and can take up to 20 years fighting against it in numerous cases, not at their own expense.

Is it more ethical?

No, the justice system is based on the single ideal that a crime isn't a crime against an individual alone but against the collectivist society. The people deciding to kill somebody for killing somebody is mob rule. The state actually performing the execution is state sanctioned murder. They kill somebody as a lesson to others that people shouldn't kill somebody. This is like trying to fart your way out of a house fire.

So it isn't cheaper, isn't more ethical and doesn't act as a deterrent and tells people that murder is acceptable under certain circumstances so doesn't provide a philosophical education.

The only people who support the death penalty are either thick people or savages. There's not a single argument that cannot be instantly dismissed; it's one of those things that pretty much everybody in the educated world realises that should be gotten rid of but nobody has the political capital to do it because it is then presented as them being "soft on crime".

Thank Parliament that we don't have to deal with such nonsense over here.

Think you might struggle to instantly dismiss the re offending rate arguement.
