Boston Marathon - explosion

The problem is that you show zero respect for anyone who has a different opinion than yours so it's pretty fucking pointless to even get into anything with you.

The brothers have also been potentially tied to cutting the necks of three of their friends for dealing weed ... then is it OK to want to drop this guy in a volcano pit if he is convicted with a clear conscious?

On a PJ message board?

Because we need. Confrontation. We need to break out of this violence cycle. We need to look at ourselves versus the same old "they are the evil ones and we are so fucking grand."

And some will never be able to wrap their heads around that and the fucking people in power Love it.

Here's a suggestion. Worry more about the "me" and "I" with these sweeping needs applied. Pretty sure I know what's best for me and what common sense dictates.

Sidenote - it's a bit strange how the railing against so-called confrontation is spoken by those who help to create it.

Double standard.

Respect for what?

Not for what, for whom.

Respect for the citizens of the city, and for those who lost loved ones or had their lives changed forever, by the means and intent of a couple of sick, selfish men.

So your saying I'm disrespecting the family of loved ones by discussing this case while it's on trial?

So we should have 2 days of silence and prayer? When can we again discuss?

Not even close, callen. This is a leap. An unfair one at that.

And to Indifference - last sentence, absolutely.

Cal,we don't always agree,but you are always consistent in your stance.I respect that.

We bet the under and we bet wrong.

Never thought this would reach a second day. Very curious to learn what these two questions are.

Okay so if the bomber never had the older brother, do you think he would of still done something like this?

We can't say for sure but it doesn't matter. "My brother made me do it" is a pretty weak defense, especially when you consider how long he stood by himself behind the Richard family with that bomb. There are plenty of people in this world who have a problem child for an older sibling. Not many of them do what Dzhokar did.

He committed this crime, knowingly and willfully.

And after seeing that photo / screen-shot, with a smile on his face.

No doubt.

Question posed in relation to what sentence and jury timing.

So life or death?

I don't know. I am pro-death penalty and he qualifies, both in heinousness of his crime and guilt beyond any doubt. But...I do fear he will become a martyr if executed. Maybe a tiny cell and no hope of parole is a better punishment for him. I don't know and I feel for those who have to make that decision.
