Support NeoGAF

[Tagyhag]

This is how things work in the US.

People call the mob mentality of the middle east barbaric but we're not any better if we won't allow someone to defend themselves. Just goes to show that humans can be bloodthirsty no matter where they're from.

I hope he gets life in jail. I see that as a worse punishment, and like it was said, he could see how fruitless all his actions were.

 

[dave is ok]

Man, it's cases like these where the death penalty seems like it would be the most "okay", but I just still can't support the idea. I feel wrong hoping he doesn't get the death penalty, but...i do hoe he doesn't get the death penalty.

I knew one of the victims and I hope he doesn't get the death penalty

 

[davepoobond]

I don't want the death penalty because he will just be stuck in courts for the next bazillion years on appeal and waste everyone's money and time.

 

[One-Shot]

Meh death or jail I am fine with either.

 

[BobTheFork]

I don't want the death penalty because he will just be stuck in courts for the next bazillion years on appeal and waste everyone's money and time.

What's the cost of that Vs. having him live out his life in prison? Plus having to protect him or have him in isolated custody because he will get killed in Prison if they don't

 

[Sanjuro]

They kill him, he kills himself, or he dies in prison. Any of those outcomes feel the same to me.

 

[Arc]

I would fine with life in prison (seems like a worse hell) if it was the gulag or the American equivalent.

 

[Nitsuj23]

He wants to die so I'd say keep him alive. I know it costs money and all that, but if he suffers from being alive than it's worth it. I imagine within 40 years he'll realize how idiotic he was and obviously by then won't be able to do anything about it. I feel like giving him death is what he wants. He pretty much said as much in his boat manifesto, didn't he?

 

[Macho Madness]

Jury and Dzhokhar are now in the room.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

it costs more to keep him on death row with a lengthy and costly appeals process that tends to last decades than it would to let him live out his life.

 

[Tawpgun]

Wish the death penalty wasn't so expensive. I hate the idea of tax dollars helping keep this fuck alive and comfortable

 

[Nitsuj23]

They kill him, he kills himself, or he dies in prison. Any of those outcomes feel the same to me.

A life behind bars would lead to some pretty nasty self reflection. He does't want to be alive. I'd keep him alive so he has to face those thoughts.

Yeah, if they throw him in a supermax, he's not going to have a fun time.

 

[Enron]

there's about a zero percent chance this dude doesn't get the death penalty.

He is too sexy to age or die.

Freeze him.

 

[ActStriker]

and here we go

 

[Macho Madness]

Count 1: Guilty

 

[Sanjuro]

Guilty. Eligible for death.

...and we are done here.

 

[Sheroking]

They kill him, he kills himself, or he dies in prison. Any of those outcomes feel the same to me.

Only one of those involves state sanctioned murder to no good point or purpose.

Life without possibility of parole is the only good option.

They would surely keep here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADX_Florence. There was a story about it recently: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/29/magazine/inside-americas-toughest-federal-prison.html

 

[davepoobond]

Costs more. He is going to be living 20+ years or whatever the average is plus the legal costs.

They can't rush people to death. I technically support the idea of capital punishment but the way it plays out is never what you would normally think.

 

[dave is ok]

Massachusetts is pretty liberal, and his lawyer kept Theodore Kaczynski, Zacarias Moussaoui, Eric Rudolph and Jared Loughner from the death penalty.

 

[Sanjuro]

Life without possibility of parole is the only good option.

...there is no good option. The damage is already done here.

 

[Macho Madness]

Count 2 and 3 guilty.

 

[statham]

Guilty. Now give him death.

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

17 charges, all of which carry the death penalty. He'll need some sweet sweet RNJesus intervention to not be put to death.

I've grown away from the death penalty over the years, but are we any better that we wish to torture this dude for the rest of his life with a life sentence versus just offing him as an eye-for-an eye?

 

[CTLance]

Personally, I hope he gets to live a very long, terrifyingly boring and lonely life, trapped in a tiny cell and surrounded by thugs that hate his guts. Death would be quick and painless, which is something he doesn't really deserve. Just let him rot in body, mind and soul. I'm a vindictive asshole, I guess.

Oh well. Hope the victims of his crimes get closure, whatever the sentence may be.

 

[kris.]

3/3 so far. Not looking good for you, o'l Dzhoky.

 

[Sheroking]

...there is no good option. The damage is already done here.

You know what I'm saying.

 

[Downhome]

there's about a zero percent chance this dude doesn't get the death penalty.

That's not even remotely true.

I wouldn't be shocked if there is at least on juror that says no to that because they feel a tiny bit of sympathy because of the influence of his brother. That would lead to life.

Heck, forget being shocked, I expect that to happen.

If anyone ever deserved death however, it's this guy and other monsters like him.

 

[Chaos17]

Prison is worse than any made up hell.

Depend of which one and where.

 

[Macho Madness]

Count 4 and 5 guilty.

Tsarnaev stands with his attorneys, hands clasped in front of him. No visible reaction on his face. He's mostly looking down at the table.

 

[dave is ok]

17 charges, all of which carry the death penalty. He'll need some sweet sweet RNJesus intervention to not be put to death.

He's up against 30 charges, 17 of which carry the dealth penalty

 

[TemplaerDude]

It is truly frightening how quickly and gleefully some of you just jump to "KILL THE MOTHERFUCKER".

 

[LiK]

fuck him. he could've killed my uncle that day. give him death.

 

[Somnid]

Ideally if he wanted to die, I'd say let him. Society has no more use for such a person. Making death opt-in for these sorts of issues would solve most of the problems that the penalty has in general.

 

[Africanus]

I won't support the death penalty on the minute chance that he is not guilty of this bombing.

Despite evidence seeming 100% secure in this time period, in a later one, with better technology Tsarnaev may be exonerated.

 

[spyder_ur]

Where are you guys getting these updates?

I meant to include that those 17 were murder charges, not the complete total. You're right.

It's all over the news. I'm on CNN right now.

Give him life in solitary confinement. Play a continuous loop of images of the people he killed/maimed on every wall of his cell for the rest of his life.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

Wish the death penalty wasn't so expensive.

That pesty Constitution and Bill of Rights, always getting in the way

Give him life in solitary confinement. Play a continuous loop of images of the people he killed/maimed on every wall of his cell for the rest of his life.

sounds kinda cruel and unusual

Well he's guilty because he's pleaded guilty. If the death penalty didn't exist in the US there wouldn't even be a trial.

 

[LumpOfCole]

I'm against the death penalty for monsters because a life in prison seems like a worse punishment anyway.

 

[Smellycat]

I wonder if there will be teenage girls on twitter posting "I cut for tsarnaev"...
