    "No, no, rabel rabel, it is, no, no your the *Throw back exact same insult which was received* "

    Another thread ruined by EOTR.

    Amazes me how one poster is allowed CONSISTENTLY ruin threads in this fashion, I honestly wonder would any other poster be allowed post like this and get away with it for so long.

    Theres only so many times you can attack the post before attacking the poster becomes the only way of pointing out it's sheer stupidity. Engage with a poster like that for a few days and get back to us.

    I'm glad he's been sentenced to life.
    I have always felt that the death penalty was barbaric and antiquated.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,681 ✭✭✭bodice ripper


    caused of course by certain countries pentiants for running around the world overthrowing governments and replacing with puppet governments, and bombing the **** out of places.



    well , rightists don't wish to hear that the more certain countries antagonise the islamic world, the more radicals we will get. and americas and britains policies have a major part to play and are mostly responsible.


    At first I thought, "hey, if they are penitent, that's a start, right?"




    And then "panti-ants". No one wants them.

















    **** me, that's supposed to be penchant.

    **** me, that's supposed to be penchant.

    i'm still right though. the more the islamic world is interfeared with, the more potential for radicals. but i suppose you have nothing to say about that. much easier to come out with pointless nonsense rather then at least form an argument counteracting what i said

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    so we leave them alone to do whatever the hell they want? a capital idea, simply capital.

    well, its better then overthrowing governments of countries and having the likes of isis fill the power vacuum isn't it

    Your arguments get counteracted all day everyday, your arguments get disassembled, ripped apart and refuted all the time, you just resort to pages of "No i'm not wrong you are" replies.

    All this started a long time before ISIS came on the scene. It started before 9/11. A long time. It doesnt matter. Islamic nutters will always find some spurious justification for acting like islamic nutters.

    And the constant interference in the middle east from other nations started during, possibly even before, the Cold War.

    CONVICTED BOSTON MARATHON bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been sentenced to death.

    http://www.thejournal.ie/boston-bomber-tsarnaev-death-penalty-2106600-May2015/

    ........and rightly so!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,465 ✭✭✭✭darkpagandeath


    Wrong decision, should have let him rot for life. Do we need more martyrs ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,107 ✭✭✭boombang


    Young man, doubt it helps to kill him


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,452 ✭✭✭✭The_Valeyard


    Bad call. Life in prison, no prole, no freedom, just decades to think over what you did and have the ghosts of all your victims visit you each night in your dreams.


    RIP to all those who died. Regardless of the verdict I hope you find closure in this.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,129 ✭✭✭Arsemageddon


    ....am I the only person in the world who thinks the Boston bombing was a pretty minor event in the greater scheme of things?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,554 ✭✭✭bjork


    Meh, hard to give a fluck


    That's what you get when you blow people up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,564 ✭✭✭Titzon Toast


    Those lads love a martyr or two.
    They're about to get another one now.
    Bad move I think.

    Yep, nothing puts off people wanting to become martyrs like somebody being made a martyr.

    He will have decades to rot, theyll spend the next 10 to 20 year arguing and appealing and god knows how much money in between. To whom ever it concrns he's already a martyr.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 762 ✭✭✭PeteFalk78


    Excellent. Hope its one of those botched executions.

    Chances are he'd have been shiv'd after not too long anyway


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,415 ✭✭✭sjb25


    Meh fcuk em he deserves it but will prob never be executed he'll sit on death row for text of his life


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,071 ✭✭✭pauliebdub

    Great decision, solitary confinement for 10 or 15 years then fry the fúcker.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,624 ✭✭✭Little CuChulainn


    I heard someone on the radio saying that only 3 people on Federal death row have actually been executed out of the last 70 or so that have been sent to death row. It's the right decision for that kind of crime. There is no reason to keep him alive.

    I find it barbaric that modern democracies still have the death penalty.

    Countries should not kill people.

    Killing is wrong and two wrongs don't make a right in my opinion.

    His crime was truly awful but I just feel that modern societies should be above the level of killers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,534 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    This is why the death penalty should be scrapped. Not because it's inhumane, but because it's not nearly punishment enough for sadistic prîcks like him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,436 ✭✭✭c_man


    Chances are he'd have been shiv'd after not too long anyway

    Depends. If he got into Em city, Siad and the lads would have his back maybe?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,074 ✭✭✭pmasterson95


    I wonder how long before the "ah hes young" excuse will be pedalled out by the terror sympathisers.

    They were patsys, 2 agents involved with the case fell out of a helicopter not long after the bro was shot and other lad arrested and shot in the face

    I think the fact that he's young is relevant. Young people are impressionable and lack the some of the judgement acquired with age. It's very possible that this fellow would not have committed murder (which, yes is heinous) without the influence of his older brother. That's not to say that the guy isn't guilty or shouldn't spend years in jail.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,795 Mod ✭✭✭✭Manach


    May God have mercy on his soul, as an old traditional phrase. While on grounds of not wishing to have the state the explicit power of death over citizens I'd be marginally oppose to the sentence. An alternative of him being walled up with bread and water forever would be perferiable.

    There's actually a good episode of This American Life talking about some of the shadier aspects of the case and the impact it had on the lives of people with even small connections to the brothers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    If I'd a choice between Death in the next 5, 10 years or spending the next potential 60- 70 years in ADX Florence locked down 23 hours a day I'd chose death.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,501 ✭✭✭✭Slydice


    I feel uneasy about it.

    I understand that how horrible the bombings were.

    I just looked it up and see he was 19 at the time (21 now). I remember his defense saying something like he was led on by his brother.

    What he did was so horrible though. He's so young though. I didn't know half the **** I know now about the world when I was that young. But he blew people up.

    IT'S HORRIBLE.


    :(


    This ****ing world and the stupid **** people (we) do to each other :(


    We live on a pale blue dot suspended in a sunbeam! What the ****! :(


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,188 ✭✭✭DoYouEvenLift


    Prison is supposed to rehabilitate convicted criminals so that they can reenter society and not be threats at the end of the time they served. It's not possible to rehabilitate a person that tried to blow up as many innocent children, women and men as he could. Even if it was, nobody would be okay with hiring, living near or even just interacting with him. Letting him 'rot' is just delaying the inevitable, he does not deserve to live as part of this society even if it is inside a cage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,807 ✭✭✭Custardpi


    No sympathy for the f*cker. The world will be richer for his having left it & if & when they stick a needle in his arm I won't shed any tears. That said, the death penalty involves the state taking an unarmed prisoner, completely at their mercy who is no longer a threat & killing him in cold blood. Such acts demean the society & state which carry them out.

    This pr1ck deserves never to see freedom again but let's hope that that the US can move away from the barbarity of the death sentence. That doesn't mean being soft on the guy. No problem with him suffering for his crime for the rest of his days.

    The battle between the West & Islamic extremism has often been framed with reference to Samuel Huntington's famous phrase "the clash of civilisations". If we want to truly assert the superiority (if we dare so believe) of our values & civilisation we must make it an unshakeable principle that no matter what the circumstances we do not kill unarmed prisoners in cold blood. To do otherwise is at least partly to embrace the savagery & disregard for human life which Daesh, Al Qaeda & the Tsarnaev brothers would have us descend into.

    Federal Supermax prisons are the end of the line for lifers, there's no rehabilitation efforts made with them. They're left alone in their cells for 23 hours a day and put into an outdoor cage alone for the other hour. To me that's the worst form of punishment in existence. I imagine many prisoners of his classification would love to be put out of their misery.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson

    +1, ADX Florence in for the next 5-6 decades with no possible chance of being moved to another facility would be my version of hell.
