Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Boston Marathon jihad murderer “came out and he smirked at the families” of his victims

Jul 11, 2013 9:04 am By Robert Spencer

“I didn’t see a lot of remorse. I didn’t see a lot of regret.” Of course not. He thinks he has pleased his bloodthirsty god. Why should he be remorseful about that?

“‘I felt sick to my stomach’: Boston Marathon bombing survivors watch as Tsarnaev pleads not guilty,” by Matthew DeLuca and Tracy Connor for NBC News, July 10 (thanks to Darcy):

Friends and family members of people whose lives were shattered when two homemade bombs went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15 packed three rooms in a federal courthouse on Wednesday as suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev pleaded not guilty to a 30-count indictment.

But the fleeting courtroom encounter brought little relief to Bostonians who said the 19-year-old “”accused of conducting the deadly bombings with the help of his older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev “”showed little feeling.

“He came out and he smirked at the families,” said Ed Fucarile, 64, outside of the John Joseph Moakley federal courthouse along the water in South Boston. “The lawyers put their hands on his shoulders like it was going to be all right.”

Tsarnaev, seated between his lawyers in an unbuttoned orange jumpsuit and black t-shirt with a bandage around his left hand, responded “not guilty” to each of the charges read against him in court. At times he stroked his chin, smiled crookedly, and appeared to look calmly about the courthouse.

Fucarile wore a Boston Strong t-shirt with the name of Marc Fucarile, his son who lost his right leg and still carries shrapnel in his body, the father said.

Marc Fucarile, 34, was standing near the second blast when it went off. He still has more surgeries to go, and has spent every day of the nearly three months since receiving medical care, his father said. Members of the family have taken weeks off work so that someone is always at Marc’s bedside, he said.

“I expected a lot more,” he said of Tsarnaev’s eight-minute hearing on Wednesday. “It wasn’t what I thought it was going to be.”

Mildred Valverde, 44, after coming out of the courthouse on crutches, said the hearing was emotionally taxing.

“Just to be in the same room with him was bothersome,” Valverde said, adding that she hopes that, if convicted, he doesn’t get the death penalty.

“I’d rather see him suffer,” she said. “Death is too quick.”

Scores of survivors and their supporters crowded into two overflow rooms in the courthouse to watch Tsarnaev’s appearance on television screens. About 30 more, including some who stood glaring with their arms crossed as Tsarnaev was led from the courtroom by U.S. Marshals, filled seats in the main courtroom. It was the alleged bomber’s first court appearance since he was captured by law enforcement, bloodstained and hiding in a boat, on April 19.

Among those present was Liz Norden, whose sons J.P. and Paul Norden each lost a leg in the April blasts.

“I felt sick to my stomach,” Liz Norden told dozens of reporters outside the courthouse after the hearing. Asked what she would tell her sons about the day, she said they have focused all their attention on recovering from their injuries….

“I didn’t see a lot of remorse. I didn’t see a lot of regret,” MIT Police Chief John DiFava, who was in the courtroom, said after the proceeding….
