Boston Marathon Bombing

Two more arrests have been made with suspects that may be linked to the Tsarnaev brothers regarding immigration violations and a supposed terrorist cell. (source)

As for the legal proceedings, should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev be given Miranda rights? Should he be tried as an unlawful combatant or as a criminal? Should he be given the death penalty under federal law or be given another punishment?

Allthough I usually don't support the Death Penalty, those kind of guys really ask for it. They kill people and believe that the Creator is satisfied with it. I don't know what I hate more...

Unless the US is ready to go down the dictatorship route, if they are US citizens, then we must try them as citizens and not as foreign combatants. Because as soon as they are found to be guilty...

I'm sure there are ways to make them suffer, more than if we just killed them off (which they might want, in order to be martyred), without breaking the "cruel and unusual" clause. Either way, as long as the guilty are punished, I would very much like to see the government follow the laws it set, no matter the emotions running wild.

The picture is actually quite stupid. Tens of thousands of people die a far more tragic and horrible death every goddamn day. Do they reach the news? Do they get all the attention? Do they get a speech by the president? Is their family supported by a whole country?

And people still believe everyone is equal? Stop fooling yourself.

Who is talking about 'fooling' oneself and equality? We are talking about a picture. A SMALL act of kindness. Are you upset that a third world country that experiences a lot of violence is being compassionate to a city within the United States (which you like you bash so much)? .

You are right, it is odd that some places get more exposure then others but if you want to make a difference and promote social justice, I suggest you do something about it. Join the Peace Corp or UNICEF or something.

I even doubt those brats in that picture should be taken seriously because of the hand sign one of them performs.

The Hell?

This is the second time I have seen comments like this.

It's the thought that counts (at least I think so).

You have no idea what you're talking about, do you?

Actually, I just choose not to get upset over something like that.

Well if you disagree about my opinion then at least explain why instead of posting a reply that doesn't make sense. And if you wanna be upset, then go ahead. It's not like I'd care much anyway, lol.

He just meant that the photo as a sign of solidarity and empathy shouldn't be something that one sneers at.

[SlayerOfLight]

Oh well, then I'll won't take her serious neither.

I just wanna share a thought that crossed my mind here:

If they're taking their time to heal and recover this young man in the hospital now, why would they bother to give him the death penalty after healing him in the hosptial? It just seems like a waste of time to me, if you're going to shoot him, fix the wounds, and then kil him afterwards anyways, why did you even bother to heal his wounds in the first place and just not let him die where he was? You're only wasting the doctors time when they could've been working on someody else.

I personally think that an imprison for life sentence would be more sufficent for his crimes. After all, no matter what the cause, I'm always voting against the death penalty anyways.

That. A bullet in the head works alot faster then a lethal injection.
