Fuck yeah. Hope this fucker enjoys going through dozens of appeals only to have his hopes shattered every time. The longer it lasts, the better.
In the meantime he gets to spend his days at the Colorado SuperMax. He'll wish he were dead before its all said and done. They fast tracked McVeigh and I think the little bombardier will get similar treatment.
Good. I'm all for the death penalty when they have definitive proof and the person did something especially heinous. He fits both criteria
There is a solution to that. Stuff him inside a dead emptied pig, that will prevent him from meeting his maker.
The terrorists will always have somebody or something to rally about. That's the nature of fanaticism. Trying to prevent it (by not executing them) is futile and stupid. The solution is to make the price so horrific that recruiting new ones would become difficult. It has to be horrific from their point of view. Seriously, bring in a pig.
We royally fuck their shit up every day and that hasn't deterred them from joining up. We can launch missiles from the sky above without them ever knowing it's coming. We have tanks. What more price can we tax on there? Rotting in jail is worse than death. Plus someone will definitely shank him if they don't put him in isolation which wouldn't make him a martyr and he'd still be dead.
I think the idea though is that he doesn't wish he was dead, but rather wishes he was alive. I think the mental anguish of death row is fitting punishment in this case. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_row_phenomenon http://io9.com/the-rare-psychological-disorder-that-only-affects-death-1650893993 They stop using the legal system since it seems to be such a psychological burden to keep on using it. I would hope Tsarnaev exhausts his options.
I never spoke of tanks and missiles. They won't scare fanatics. From standpoint of an individual they are just a game of chance. No more of a chance as they are facing daily from bad water or robbers. To scare them you have to make it personal, ruthless, inevitable and final. People like this understand stoning to death, cutting arm that stole - that sort of things. You wanna scare them - deny entrance to haven. Bring in the pig.
ISIS and such light people on fire, hack their heads off with a dull knife, etc. We are going to put him to sleep and then stop his heart in a much less painful manner. NOTHING is being accomplished by killing him.
Vengeance. "My mother and I think think that now he will go away and we will be able to move on," said victim Sydney Corcoran after the verdict. "Justice. In his own words, 'an eye for an eye.'" Corcoran nearly bled to death and her mother lost both legs.
