Boston bomber to be executed

What if he didn't do it. What solid evidence is there against him?

I don't agree with it death because if he was anywhere else then it wouldn't be death it would life, I think we should try and have a similar systm within countries/states/

The death penalty is state murder.

It's also the state being unduly nice in this sort of context. He no doubt believes that he will ascend to heaven upon his death as martyr.

The Americans think this is the harshest, ultimate punishment, but a lifetime (especially when you're 21) in a supermax prison is the ultimate punishment.

Just so you know, this is untrue.



By whom?

RIP in peace

So how about you show some consideration for these people before you stick up for a murdering, cowardly scumbag.

He was tried in federal court, not state. And, for what it's worth, Boston is in Massachusetts, which doesn't use the death penalty.

You think all states should have the same punishment?

I'm sure if someone shoots your father, mother, and is about to shoot your sister, you would not shoot him back (assuming you had a gun) because killing is always wrong, yes?

I'm suprised he got the death sentence. I thiought because he's white, the judge may go easier on him, judges normally go easier on white men and harder on black men, but he got the death sentence but don't expect this to happen over night, it's gonna be a long while, it could be 7, 8, 9, 10 years (Maybe more) before he meets his maker, what with all the appeals that will take place

Why not soon??

If a man with a AK47 is running around a shopping mall shooting people, would you suggest it is 'wrong' to kill him to save others?

Why not soon??

Death row inmates in the U.S. typically spend over a decade awaiting execution. The appeals process in death penalty cases takes time to complete. It takes time because there are multiple steps in the appeals process in death penalty cases. And there are multiple steps because it’s the ultimate punishment and there’s no room for error.

In fact the time it can take be executed has meant some death row inmates can die of old age, but at 21, I doubt that will happen to this guy.

But conditions on death row are grim;

Inmates age fast.That's why a lot as they get older, start to die each year of heart attacks, strokes and cancer.

They are often locked up in a solitary cell for 23 hours a day. Throughout this time, they live in fear that soon they will be strapped to a gurney and pumped full of lethal chemicals.

Some people argue that being death row itself is worse than death, as being on death row amounts to a cruel and unusual punishment of the sort the USA constitution forbids.

Are you fore or against the death penalty?

I'm 50/50 on the death penalty.

I'm against it because it's unfairly dished out. Haven't you seen the Green Mile ?

Na. Seriously.

It's subject to a lot of bias, many innocent people get sent to death row and even if they killed someone close to me. I'd want them to get life as I feel in many ways that's just as harsher punishment

But I'd also take the argument that some crimes are so evil that the death sentence is the only option

to be fair the ****tard deserves it for ruining people's and family's lives.
