Quoted Text
In a personal appeal splashed across the front page of the Boston Globe Friday morning,
Bill and Denise Richard implored federal prosecutors to drop their request that convicted
Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsaernev receive the death penalty.

The Richards are not just any advocates. They are the parents of Martin Richards, killed in
the bombing two years ago at 8 years old; Jane, who lost her leg at 7 years old; and Henry,
who at 9 years old witnessed the violence.

We are in favor of and would support the Department of Justice in taking the death penalty
off the table in exchange for the defendant spending the rest of his life in prison without any
possibility of release and waiving all of his rights to appeal,” they wrote.

So because they got their Op-Ed on the front page, it trumps everyone else that was killed or maimed on their wishes?

Is that what you read Buckie?  
Better read it again.  It's one family's opinion on the issue.

Personally, for a young guy like Tsaernev, he would be facing 50 or 60 years in prison, if it were me,
I might take execution over that sentence.

Kinda like the extrajudicial death penalty Debbie Deathermann supports for 7 pound babies in the womb.  It's better than 60 or 70 years of life being unwanted by the mother or doctor.  And it's best the mother and doctor decide who gets the death sentence.

Life.  Killing him isn't in self defense.  It's retribution.

What say you?

Would you support the death penalty for Adam Lanza that allegedly shot up a school, if he was captured alive?

YES CICERO... IT'S EXACTLY LIKE THAT!!!

(Does that sound as dumb when you read it as it did when you typed it?

I think in most people's opinion, Lanza was seriously NUTS.  But of course, being mentally deficient
isn't enough to escape the death penalty in many red states.

Nobody stood trail, no evidence was presented or cross examined.  Just media reports.  Why, do you accept the media presentation of evidence without challenge?

BTW...You forgot to answer the question.  Since you believe Lanza is guilty, would you support the death penalty?

Like you said, no trial. Yes I believe he did it. Without trial I can't comment on death penalty because I am one that
needs to hear the evidence in its entirety before passing judgment on a sentence. As for guilt, the evidence is overwhelming.
Only a false flag/government conspiracy believer would deny that!

PS - Thread is about the Boston bomber...can we get back on track instead of you hijacking it for your own agenda?

Lanza WAS a mass shooter.
Oh... I forgot... I have to say "allegedly" since there was no trial etc etc etc.
