Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found guilty for the part he played in the Boston Bombing incident. During that incident, 3 people were killed and 260 people were injured.
A police officer was killed in the days following the attack as Tsarnaev and his brother, who also died, attempted to flee.
Should this individual be put to death?
What are your thoughts about the death penalty, in general?
-
What they did that day was insane,ruthless and evil.
I have no problem seeing him get death penalty.
-
I have no problem with the death penalty and the sooner the better for this creep.
-
I agree- this guy showed NO REMORSE for all that he hurt- I do not hesitate to say put this man to death.
-
Truth is, I don't have all the facts. I don't want to condemn a man with only minimal information.
-
I'm glad he was convicted. I'm personally against the death penalty for a variety of reasons.
-
My only reason for opposing the death penalty in this case is this man believes by dying he will go to paradise as a martyr. Someone suffering in solitary lockup for the rest of his life (which could be many years) seems as though it would cause him more suffering.

Good for you!
Alleged Boston Bombers' Backpacks Not the Same as Bomb Backpacks

If I were a juror I would vote for the death penalty for this man. Even if he was influenced by his brother, he seemed like a willing follower and he showed no remorse whatsoever after the incident.
-
I do feel sorry for everyone who is in a situation where they need to participate in making a decision whether someone should live or die. I have never been a juror and I have asked myself this question many times (such as with the cases of Jodi Arias and Casey Anthony). Generally speaking, I think there is a time and a place for the death penalty. The situation would need to be extreme such as the ones who were responsible for 911 but I don't think I could impose it when someone has murdered just one person. So with this case, which is kind of inbetween, I don't think I could vote for death but I would vote for life in prison with no possibility of parole. But, could I be persuaded? Yes!
-
i agree he deserves something harsh i have to say i dont have enough info but the voice in my head keeps repeating these words , thou shalt not kill maybe a whipping with a whip daily for the rest of his life would be more appropriate, maybe with harsher punishments there would be less crime. I think that they should lose all the supposed rights that they have in prison they are in prison for petes sake why are they allowed so much. when i was a kid when i was bad i got no tv the prison rules need to be harsher

Eye for an eye...

In my mind and heart I support the death penalty - it is ridiculous the money spent on housing people who have committed heinous crimes and that isn't even to mention letting them have lawsuits trying to get out of the sentence they received but with that said I don't know how it all fits with God and christianity so ????? And look at all the people who ended up getting out of prison years and years later because they weren't even guilty. Not that I think that is the case with this guy but you see my point if they had been put to death there would have been no chance for the innocent to be vindicated. It is a difficult question.
-
I have no problem with the death penalty. He definitely deserves it! Besides it's cheaper than keeping inmates locked up...free room and board, food, medical treatment, etc.
-
I think the death penalty is too easy a way out for him. He needs to suffer for this and I mean suffer in both physical and emotional. Is there some other method other than the death penalty or hanging? I have a few family members who's lives are not the same physically because of his coward act.

Yes, he should be put to death. My thoughts in general about the death penalty is that I live in a death penalty state. I think every state should have the death penalty. Why should tax payer's money be spent to feed, house, and clothe these individuals that have no regard for LIFE - ANY LIFE, including their own. I can think of a million different ways the money could be used to BENEFIT the U.S. instead of house these cretins for the next 20-30 years while they continue to find a way to work with their terrorist buddies plotting the next terrorist attack. PS: This fool's "mother" (and I use that term lightly) calls the American people the terrorists. I think they should off her, too.

I really wrestle with the death penalty. I believe it is wrong to take an-others life, but I don't think serious offenders should be allowed to live either. :confused1:
-
Ultimately, I believe that yes, he should be put to death. However, that seems like an easy way out. I think he should rot in tiny cell, with nothing but a small pot to use as bathroom, no contact with others, and just treated like the animal he is. But prisons are not like that. Instead, they give inmates internet time, social interaction, 3 hot meals a day, warm blankets, hot showers, etc. He doesn't deserve to live like that, therefore, he should be put to death.

I think I tend to be more critical than some other people and have no issues with applying the penalty. I don't they should have any leniency. What perturbs me more is that Death Penalty can be as much or more than keeping a person live in prison. I do not like how complicated our system makes sentencing and applying the sentence so expensive.

I believe in God deciding on a person life an what they should receive me personally I felt that what he did was wrong an he deserve what they give him that's my opinion

But you can't do that. He has rights. You can't put him in a small sell with a "pot" to use for a bathroom, deny him food, interaction with others, blankets, showers, etc. The system is screwed up. If you are going to treat him like that then you need to just kill him. It's not an easy way out. Someone who commits horrendous crimes like this are most likely not saved. Hell is not the easy way out of anything.

In general, I don't like or believe in the death penalty. DNA is providing proof in some cases that a person has not committed the crime they have been found guilty of. Nonetheless, in very serious, violent, horrendous crimes where there is an insurmountable amount of evidence that the person is guilty, the death penalty should be applied. The vast majority of inmates are guilty and the amount of people that are being supported in a manner they don't deserve is at critical levels. Criminals often have too many rights, with years of appeals that the taxpayer funds, while the victim has few. This picture is much too lopsided.
Where a person's attitude, background, and crimes support rehabilitation, let's get busy doing it. Counseling, education, and skill development I don't mind paying for if it proves that particular person does not go back to jail and becomes a law abiding, tax paying citizen. Non-violent criminals need to be in the community (with guards) performing much of the labor that is needed, from picking up trash, to painting over graffiti, to tearing down inner city abandoned buildings. There is no excuse that some of our highways and city lots are in the condition that they are. If they don't want to participate, then perhaps they need a few less privileges and meals.

The death penalty cost us more than life without parole.

He'll probably sit in prison for years on appeals at taxpayers expense like others currently on death row.
-
The death penalty should have already been serve!
-
normally I would say death penalty, but this was a terriost act he needs to suffer in prison and suffer the inmates will probably take care of him he will never get parole. this crime happened in my city Boston Strong
-
I would vote against the death penalty. I have no problem w/ folks who would say yes.
-
This is a tough one. I'm torn.
-
If he has been proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt then the death penalty should be applied. Giving a life sentence only serves as a reminder to the victim's families every time they get dragged into the numerous appeals that occur after one has been in prison for a long time (and at such a young age). We have a friend who's sister was murdered. The soldier that did it admitted his guilt and did not change his story for five years. At that time he began to file for appeals, venue changes and proclaimed his innocence stating that he did not know what he was saying when he was initially, and subsequently questioned. The family gets dragged back into this horror show every three or so years and have to relive their loss.
-
Personally I believe if a person murders they should die in the fashion their victim or victims died. Eye for an eye. I know it seems extreme but if you murder a person and it wasn't confirmed as true self defense they shouldn't get to spend the rest of their lives in a cell while a family had to bury their loved one.
-
Personally I believe any person could go back and change the way they are. If one is allowed to stay in life, they can have a second chance and maybe do some good. If someone is put to death there is no second chance and no way to go back. Death is irreversible.
