I don't get why the justice warriors on here want him dead so badly when the family of the dead boy doesn't even want it. What's the deal?
Also doesn't this guy become a celebrated martyr if they off him?

Honestly IMO that's tax dollars well spent.

And again, it costs a frickload more to kill someone than to keep them in prison. The "tax dollar" argument is nonsense. This is about revenge. Nothing more. Nothing less. And I get that.

What ever happened to "Let those without sin cast the first stone"?
If someone ever did something really bad to someone I loved, I'd be all over their arse with both feet. Or, at least, I'd want to be. But that's revenge, not necessarily justice.
In my opinion, the death penalty provides no deterrent effect. What's the point? I know an executed prisoner will never murder again, but neither will the guy sentenced to life without parole. I also think that if just one or two prisoners are executed in error, for however many "appropriate" executions, we're no better than the murderers theirselves. I often hear a lot of bravado about "I'd throw the switch, inject the drug, pull the trigger, etc." Can you really kill without remorse? Does that make YOU a sociopath?
I'm not saying I'm right, I'm just saying it's something to think about. There's no doubt that society would be better off with a major culling of the herd, but who is qualified to decide who stays and who goes?

Iona, I like the way you think...
------------------------------------------------------------
I'm just talking about this case. I have long been a proponent of the death penalty.
In this case I think a stiffer penalty is locking this scumbag in as small a room as possible with no contact with the outside world; no books; no news papers; no internet; no TV; never seeing natural sunlight again. The only thing he should see is the pictures of the victims he killed which I would have laminated on his walls. Let him live the rest of his natural days like that.
A bullet to the head or lethal injection is too easy.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I think if our young and impressionable bomber were locked up in a box (without knowing which direction Mecca was in) for the next 50 years or so, it might give him time to think reflect on the error of his ways.

At Terre Haute's special confinement unit -- or death row -- inmates are confined to small individual cells that have a bed, toilet, shower, a chair connected to a desk, and a small color television, according to Sister Rita Clare Gerardo, a spiritual adviser for a former death row inmate. She told the Tribune Star, a Terre Haute newspaper, that meals are pushed through a slot. "There is no recreation, but they can go out of their cells three times a week into cages," she said.
"Truthfully, I don't know how they keep their sanity," Gerardot told the newspaper. "They have to be persons of great strength of will to get up every day, and know they have no choices."
At least he'll be doing this during the exhaustive federal appeals process.

They should hang him on the pitchers mound at Fenway. Sell tickets to the public to attend. Give all money made to the families of the dead and injured. Yep. Old school.

It really doesnt matter to me how much it cost to kill someone or keep them in prison for the rest of their life. Like you said and I agree with you. The US shouldnt be in the business of killing people. Let them suffer in prison.

I would prefer him rot in something like that for 50+ years. Would be absolutely horrible and he would deserve every second of that.

I'm disappointed they didn't change his name to Reek and torture him endlessly.
