Feds to seek death penalty for Boston Marathon jihad mass murderer Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

Jan 30, 2014 3:29 pm By Robert Spencer

RSDzhokhar

This is a face-saving gesture. The clueless, politically correct, willfully ignorant Feds discounted intel they received from Russia about Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and failed to investigate the mosque the Tsarnaev brothers attended in Boston, despite the fact that it has numerous ties to jihad terrorists. Now, when it is far too late, they’re trying to look tough on jihad terror.

“Feds to seek death penalty against accused Boston bomber Tsarnaev,” by Pete Williams for NBC News, January 30 (thanks to Kenneth):

The Justice Department has notified a federal judge that it intends to seek the death penalty if a jury convicts Dzhokhar Tsarnaev for last April’s bomb attacks at the Boston Marathon.

Tsarnaev is awaiting trial on charges that he and his brother built and planted two pressure-cooker bombs that killed three people and injured at least 260 others. He is also charged with killing an MIT campus police officer.

Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement: “After consideration of the relevant facts, the applicable regulations and the submissions made by the defendant’s counsel, I have determined that the United States will seek the death penalty in this matter. The nature of the conduct at issue and the resultant harm compel this decision.”

Among the factors listed by the government were that the killings were intentional, resulted from acts calculated to cause grave risks to public safety, and were committed in a cruel manner. And prosecutors said the defendant has demonstrated no remorse….

Of course. It was his jihad. A mujahid does not feel remorse for his jihad.

    What? This Rolling Stone cover boy should be released and given a speaking tour to all American universities! He can be sponsored by Reza Aslan!

    ^^^ Leftard default position.

    I’m frankly surprised he’s being prosecuted at all – couldn’t the Obama Admin find some kind of excuse? Perhaps he was the victim of some horrible racist Islamophobia or was reacting to the dreadful film “Innocence of Muslims!”

    It’s blowback!

    Whatever it was, it was justified – Islamic terrorism always is.

    Eric Holder is indeed involved in face-saving. He’s doing the absolute minimum; he is not sincere and his Department of Just-Us will proceed apace accordingly, just as he and his Department have with the investigation of why conservative groups and individuals were singled out by the IRS. In this particular investigation of egregious (and oh so obvious) wrongdoing by the IRS, Holder appointed a major Obama campaign contributor to “look into” why conservatives “might” have been targeted by the IRS. Huh-uh.

    Accept nothing at face value Holder says. He may sometimes be speaking the truth, but independent confirmation of this should always be demanded. In short, the man is wretched. I would argue that he is the absolute worst AG in all of American history. Yes, he’s this bad. Easily.

    Holder had to do this, with all the scrutiny for the way they handled his acquisition. Even if death is levied, he will not be executed anytime soon. Maybe he can grow old and fat in a cell with Hasan?

    All the reasons could apply to Nidal Hasan who was found guilty of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder on August 23, 2013, and was sentenced to death on August 28, 2013. Yet still he lives and is not classified as a terrorist.

    Our “leaders” failed us miserably in this instance, as in so many others. Some thoughts on how to proceed from here…

    The Rolling Stone writers and editors should all be charged with aiding a murderer after the crime by glamourizing this filth.

    Cold blooded, premeditated murder of innocent human beings.

    Why has it has taken the Islam ass-kissing FEDS
    this long to decide to seek the death penalty?

    The Blaze did an incredible video report on the Boston Bombers and their mosque. Link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzOrCC4y-wJAeFhpMllmSnNfTEU/edit?pli=1

      Very well done video, CJ. Thanks for posting.

    This terrorist will take a plea-deal for life in prison to avoid the death penalty… That way the Justice Department will avoid any embarrassment as to how intelligence on the two brothers was ignored/mishandled.

    Has the word ISLAM ever mentioned in this article? I did not think so!

    This young man is just misunderstood. He should be allowed to return to his original home and forgiven by bho.
