"Tsarnaev Gets Death Penalty in Boston Bombing"

Via a NYT Email..
A federal jury on Friday condemned Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a failed college student, to death for setting off bombs at the 2013 Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured hundreds more in the worst terrorist attack on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001. 
The jury of seven women and five men, which last month convicted Mr. Tsarnaev, 21, of all 30 charges against him, 17 of which carry the death penalty, took more than 14 hours to reach its decision.

Great and not great. The death penalty in this country is a meaningless sham. In reality, from the time the sentence of death was handed down, you take him to a special cell out back and put a couple in the back of his head. That would be justice, but instead he will sit on his ass facing appeal after appeal and the death penalty will be further neutered to a meaningless state, while the anti-deathers will harp and gnash teeth at the injustice of executing a terrorist murderer. We live in a fucked up country of moral equivalence and there is no way to get back to common sense rights and wrongs.

"...a failed college student..."

So is the New York Slimes implying that Tsarnaev was expressing his legitimate rage at being, ya know, failed by his callous American teachers and if only.......

A full house beats The Joker.

Put him in a cell for a year or so with all the female relatives (naked, of course) of the people who were killed or maimed while they're menstruating and have him dishonored solely by Jewish males every night - no lube.

When he has been thoroughly befouled, take him out into a field where pigs have been kept, wrap him in pigskin, stuff his mouth with pork, tie him across the muzzle of a cannon (caliber optional), fire the nasty thing, and let the vultures and pariah kites have what's left .

What, too lenient?

Now that Aurora theater shooter needs the death penalty too.

Retribution.

Only by my standards. Frankly, I'd put him down a 1 mile razor slide and have him splash into a pool of alcohol.

and broken glass. Sorry, forgot that part.

Isn't that what he's supposed to want, be a martyr for the cause and all that? Punch out and get the 72 virgins, or whatever?

That last part - I think the Marines got there ahead of him, so the virgin supply is likely depleted. Tough brake, sparky.

You guys are mean.

Can't you just have a pressure pot bomb explode in front of him and leave it at that.

tick tick tick BLAM !

Psych!

tick tick tick tick tick BLAM !

Psych again.

tick tick ti...

Psych!

tick tick tic KA BOOM OOM oom oom oom *pressure pot bomb explodes*

Psych.

Actually our system is most tortuous of all, a true living hell of extended uncertainty. The trick is not let it be torture for you. The whole time your best option is la la la you're being tortured by our horrendous system of achingly slow justice, and not me la la la die, jihadist, die.

Lord, what should I do?

"How about making a pop-up card for the kids."

I was thinking of gardening.

"I said, make a pop-up card you're garbage at gardening. You're killing those plants by the hundreds."

You're mean too. Last time I ask you for suggestions.

See? The point is have your life of sweetness and light while jihadist rots in American prison wondering each moment and waiting for the moment, wanting the moment the State indifferently offs him.

I'm thinking a pressure cooker filled with African honey bees.

See we Bostonians aren't so bad are we fellow pubes?

The white, elitist Bostonians don't abide people killing white, elitist people. If this happened in a blue collar neighborhood, they would have let him live.

I know these people. Trust me on this.

"There must be some kinda way outta here" said the Dzhokhar to the Chief. "There's too much confusion, I can't get no reprieve."

It's a shame about the Catholic nun caught lying on the defendant's behalf. There's enough truth in Catholicism that one needn't bear false witness to further the truth.

I think Susan Sarandon should have testified as the nun. It might have been more believable.
