Goodbye Bomber Suspect

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

Thanks Gorzo, I agree with this ^ so much.

I disagree with you kanga. Prisoners can still commit crimes

They can cause riots in prison, they can still kill people and do most of the stuff that they did outside prison to hurt people. And what's the punishment? A longer sentence? Doesn't seem like an appropriate way to punish them, because they already threw there life away and are in prison.

The idea of the death penalty puts a bad taste in my mouth. But it's a necessary evil, because we can't let them feel the full impact of what they have done

[Birdbrain]

I would do my best to protect everyone. And give you animals to eat there brains

People eat animals every day

[Birdbrain]

I wouldn't be the one carrying out the death penalty. I'd probably throw up if I did

[Birdbrain]

Also, I'm not the one deciding. I'm just saying its a neccisary evil. And I too would prefer to give people life imprisonment because I believe deep down everyone has good in them

I just want everyone to understand the United States has murdered more innocent people then this bomber and 3,000 of his buddies could ever do. We've destroyed lives, destroyed families, and created a generation of angry young men hellbent on destroying us.

We've got to leave Afganistan, Iraq, Isreal anywhere we dont belong. Our officials must face trial for war crimes. Right now doctors are working around the clock to force feed prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. Prisoners who have not had a trial, no right to habeas corpus. We've starved millions around the world by denying them crucial aid - because philosophically they disagree with us.

No one has the right to do any of those things, and yet here we are. Detesting the fact that a bomber should live? What are we even doing? Horrible tragedy occurs, many injured and 3 dead. We've got much explaining to do ourselves, and plenty of blood on our hands.

Right now drones are flying over our heads, prepared to kill people with hellfire. The humanity of war has been removed. No longer does the person pulling the trigger and see himself beyond the scope. It's a big videogame, bombs dropped from miles above. The cries and screams of families seperated in haste fall on no one. We're losing this battle.

I'm just going to throw this out there, who is a republican, and who is a democrat.

I will just have that survey fester among us...

I do not subscribe to this illegitimate form of government. A government that has killed innocent people daily for 12 years, in an illegal war on a foreign people.

[Birdbrain]

I never voted. But I pick and choose things from both sides, and something's I even am in between on like the death penalty

[Birdbrain]

And I'm against abortion knowing that there are more people waiting to adopt than there are abortions

I like the fact that people on these forums can talk about social problems without much butthurt. I see more drama from the single card discussion threads on mtgsalv, fighting over whether {Legion's Innitiative} should be mythic or not. Props to this community.

MTGS is unreadable. Those people are so mean to each other. Everything is a fight, full of that typical Internet machismo. You'd think all of them were on the Protour constantly.

MTGO must be flooded with those dudes. Sometimes you win/lose a match and you are bombarded by insults. It doesn't happen in testing, but once you start playing for prizes in organized tournaments - the hounds come out.

some people need to just grow up I guess

Piotr mentioned reconciliation. For me that is the most important facet of justice. Too often we confuse justice with pure retribution but the math doesn't work when the death sentence is enacted. The people who suffered were not repaid. Yes, Dzhokha's life should be forfeit, but in lifelong servitude to the people of Boston. He should work in isolation cleaning, weeding, whatever labor is needed. When he works to the satisfaction of his supervisors, he eats. If he tries to leave confinement he dies. His life is in his hands, to live and serve or to withdraw and die. A lifetime of hard work may not be worth 3 people's lives but it is worth more than an easy death.

[Birdbrain]

That seems like a reasonable punishment. And they should also find a way to let him see/feel the full impact of his crime as well

[Langku]

Sure, serving a lifetime as a grave digger should give him time to consider his decision.
