Life is Death

Katherine Seelye discusses a poll taken in Boston regarding the Boston Bombing of April 2013 (link to article).  After a public poll was taken in Boston this past month regarding the situation of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, otherwise known as the Boston Bomber who, with his brother, injured many and killed 4, the public stated they would rather have Tsarnaev serve a life sentence in prison instead of being put to death.  62% agreed on a life sentence without parole, while 27% wanted the death penalty.  Though Massachusetts has abolished its capital punishment in 1984, Tsarnaev is facing death because he is being charged under federal law.  

I think I would rather have Tsarnaev rot the rest of his life in prison.  He doesn't deserve to go quickly after what he did to those people.  I would agree with the higher percent in the poll - life sentence without parole.

  1. I think that he should be locked up in a room with the victims pictures and his brother's also to show what their "Jihad" cost him. I am surprised most people wouldn't want him killed though.

  2. I'm glad most Americans want him imprisioned instead of killed, if we just kill him are we really any better than them?

  3. I agree with Jared ^^ It's hard to think that people like this deserve anything less than death, but that doesn't make us better people. He deserves to spend his life suffering in jail with no parole, like Giles said.
