Boston Bomber

I'm tired of hearing about murderers in the news. I don't really think their trials are newsworthy. The latest headline concerned the Boston Bomber. Do victims' families want him executed? I guess some journalist took a poll.

 

You know what, who cares? My opinion on the Boston Bomber can be summarized in four words: Take Out The Garbage.

 

Human life is neither precious nor rare enough to nurse a mass-murderer all his days. There are millions in the world dying of various causes, disease, famine, neglect, or war, millions that may even be deserving of life. We should look after them, maybe, or at least think about it, before we keep a mass-murderer alive at our own expense. His case is pretty clear-cut, too, no if's, and's, or but's about it. If he is willing to donate his organs and eyeballs to those who need them, then reward him with a couple weeks of nutritious food or whatever and a pencil and a few sheets of recycled paper to write his last will and testament, but in the end, set up the guillotine.

 

The guillotine. I think that is the most honest form of execution, regardless of its pedigree or history. It is sureproof and fast and low-tech. What's not to like? Separate a human head from a human body, and life is soon ended. What could be more humane? All this nonsense about lethal injections is ridiculous.

 

His victims were dear, good folks. Runners are the salt of the earth. And Boston is one of the nicest cities. Anybody associated with Mr. Bomber needs a one-way ticket out of this country, yesterday. A hundred miles would be the limit that taxpayer money should fly them. They can swim the rest of the way or else enhance nutrition for aquatic life in the Atlantic.

I like your style. :P I'm from the New England region originally, and therefor I have an intense interest in this story. I still remember watching on CNN the standoff in Watertown that Saturday when they finally found him. 

 

I hope they send him to an early grave as well. He's quite clearly a scared little coward unworthy of human life. He murdered an 8 year old kid for fuck's sake. That alone should be a forfeiture to the right to live.

I'm all for public execution of such people. The day after a guilty verdict.

Nothing works better as a deterrent than showing the fast results of when you're caught.  and if you're stupid enough to do it anyway, then hopefully we execute the guilty prior to them breeding.

It seems to me that execution of a killer like B.B. would really clear the air and help the general public move on from that horrible atrocity. Help the public heal the psychic wound and silence any further media reports about an unimportant nonentity. Harvest the organs to help those of the victims that need such assistance.

Life in Prison: Pros- suffers for the rest of his life in prison (a living death if you will for DECADES).

                      Cons- WE the people will have to financially support him.

Execution: Pros- There is no way to redeem himself (NO point keeping him alive).

                 Cons- Our taxes fund executions (so WE still pay) and this may also be an easy way "out" for him.

 

So hard to choose, but I must refuse to allow my emotions to get in the way.

 

Objectively, the verdict against Tsarnaev was the correct choice (especially considering the "eye for an eye" framework our justice system upholds).

There are not a lot of cases where I favor the death penalty. But damn it, this was one of them.

 

I have a lot of friends opposed to the death penalty, and they make good arguments, and I accept a lot of those arguments. But in this case, guilt has been established beyond a shadow of a doubt. There is NO chance of innocence. And the crime is beyond the pale. Death is actually required by the gods and I believe it may even be a mercy, for someone so depraved cannot appreciate this world or those that dwell in it.
