Boston Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's Death Penalty Overturned, and the Public Is Divided
Survivors, witnesses and the general public are all split after the man behind the Boston Marathon [...]
Change of Heart
prevnextAs a Bostonian, I lost 0 sleep over the Boston Bomber receiving the death penalty.
I won’t use his name b/c he shouldn’t have fame.
But after watching Just Mercy, I feel uncomfortable with our government dictating who dies.
I’m okay that he’ll spend his life rotting in prison.

Unusual Circumstances
prevnextIts no dispute that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev carried out a terrorist attack and though I'm generally against the death penalty, his case is hard for me to argue against its use. He willfully sought to murder as many as he could and thus forfeits his humanity.https://t.co/5ZCnqv39p1

Proximity
prevnexti don't care for the death penalty. never have. but i live three blocks away from the marathon finish line. If I'm on Boylston St and pass Glouscester St, the cross street he turned onto, I always wonder at which point he detonated the bomb once he was out of range. NO MERCY.

Alternatives
prevIf the death penalty is not going to happen we should make sure he is in general population of the most ruthless prison holding the most evil of inmates so they can take care of him !!
