Sure, go argue your opinion in the Boston Marathon Bomber guilty thread and tell everyone about how disgusting it is. Because it's important to ensure that people who commit terrorism, piracy, and genocide have a nice long comfortable life. Hell, even Subyman disagrees with you on this one and thinks the death penalty is appropriate.

We will kill you if you kill folk you think deserve to die because you will deserve to die and then we will pretend we're different than you. You have no right to decide who deserves to die, we do. We pretend to be different by calling it legal. It's just fine if we kill people so long as we hurd up like little cowards. You don't get to feel the satisfaction of killing people who deserve to die, we do.

The thinking of idiots.

He's being a bit tongue in cheek. I do not support death for Tsarnaev, despite personal feelings wanting vengeance and punishment.

Because super max prison solitary confinement 23 hours a day is considered a comfortable life. Glenn's life must be rough if that is comfortable.

There's plenty of folks pretty committed to the cause and I'm sure they'd consider a life in jail a reasonable trade-off if they could accomplish their goals. You have guys ready and willing to suicide bomb if they could kill a few Jews, I'm sure they'll be truly punished by sitting in jail having to think about what they did because after conviction they'll surely feel remorse. Oh the torture of having to recall how you killed your hated enemies and watched them suffer while you raped their women, that will surely be having them cry "Out, damn'd spot!" in no time.


But who am I kidding, you'd be the guy to wave off an outright confession and hundreds of witnesses because hey, the guy could still be innocent right? Who's counting a few genocides between friends if it somehow makes us look more "civilized" after all.
 
They'd ruminate on their glory in a dark cell away from free society (a society which saved money by sitting them there instead of executing them.) Who cares what they think about? The reason for the prison systems is to protect us.

Oh no, are we doing this again? 😱

How many US citizens have been indicted on charges of genocide over the last say 50 years?

Straw. Man.

Prosecutors need to have leeway and protection to their jobs, but in this case the guy seems to have gone far beyond doing his job and into negligence territory. Given the evidence that showed his misconduct that ended up leading to the execution of a possibly innocent man, I'd say charges of negligent homicide against the DA are justified.

Won't happen though, the Texas criminal justice system is really messed up.

I wouldn't say it was negligence. that hints at least that the guy just made a mistake.

no. what happened was murder. he knew the guy was innocent. he had evidence of that. He refused to show it to anyone and let the man die.
