Boston Bomber Dzhokar Tsarnaev Sentenced to Death

[SeventhSandwich]

I object

I have absolutely no burden to prove to you that you are a tribal. It is self-evident to practically everyone who has read that thread. You're obligated to defend yourself as long as you want to claim you aren't a tribal.

Whether or not you think you aren't tribal is irrelevant to everyone because you so obviously are.

I'm not entirely against the death penalty. I think it's pointless and makes our nation come off as barbaric, but ultimately it doesn't anger me because the people who get sentenced to death have no business on this planet anyway.

However, if you're going to support the death penalty, at least be straight about why you're doing it. The two reasons that people support the death penalty are revenge and amusement. The families of the Boston bombing victims want him dead so that they can feel like their loved ones' deaths are 'avenged'. Likewise, everyone else wants him dead so that they can chuckle and mutter to themselves, "Hah, bastard got what he deserved!". The point of the justice system is to do neither of those, but rather to isolate dangerous people from the rest of society. Both life imprisonment and execution accomplish that, but execution is far more expensive (by account of all sources).

This is probably the best explanation I've ever seen about why execution is wrong.

Yeah, I can dig that

As usual Cantaloupe is making a dumb ass of himself.

The old school way for correcting people was just to lock them away for a defined period of time. Basically a time out for adults. It doesn't really reform and in my opinion the way to change someone is from within through their own will. We can try though.

Look at Anders Breveik, that guy murdered all those kids and yet the country is still dedicated to fixing him. That is some dedication. Even if they do fix him, does society want him back?

I wonder if Cantaloupe would be as enthusiastic about that guy dying as he was for the Boston bomber.

That said, I really didn't' care. Death is probably the easy way out, life in a supermax prison sounds like hell.

If you are unable to call me a tribal, then please do not call me one.

Well sorry, but for me, I am not concerned about Tsarnaev's quality of life for what he did.

You literally don't even read the things I write anymore. I said that I have no obligation to convince you that you're tribal because it's already obvious to everyone else. You want me to spoon-feed you all the tribal stuff you said in that thread, but there's absolutely no motivation for me to do that. Everyone here knows that you're tribal, except for you. You have no leverage whatsoever.

If you have anything better to defend yourself with besides, "lol I have jewish ancestry, also quotes pls" I'll be glad to hear it. Otherwise you should probably stop posting.

[Biostorm]

It would entertain me to see that sick bastard be killed

lol how loving edgy can you get

It really doesn't make him any less of a person. He's getting whats coming to him but to torture him would be wrong.

I bet you wouldn't be saying that if you were one of the people injured from those bombs.

[Rally]

Hahhahahaah! That'll warn all future religious fanatics hoping to be martyred!

[SeventhSandwich]

I bet you wouldn't be saying that if you were one of the people injured from those bombs.

What you're arguing here is, "you would be saying the opposite if you were subjected to extreme emotional trauma and tragedy".

This is not the kind of reasoning that produces logical legislation.

[Tayasaurus]

I've been "murdered" twice. I've survived both circumstances and i still wouldn't.

I have a sense of morality. Whats so hard to comprehend about that?

[Machaty]

I bet you wouldn't be saying that if you were one of the people injured from those bombs.

Revenge makes everything ok! As long as I'm angry and distraught enough, torture is a perfectly moral and humane punishment!!! Yay!

Torture is evil. Why do you think being evil is a good way to combat terrorism? As I said before, two wrongs don't make a right.

[Amerax]

I bet you wouldn't be saying that if you were one of the people injured from those bombs.

If you were one of the people that were negatively effected by the bombings, sure you might want to see the guy hurt.

But that doesnt make it right.
