He gave the death penalty to eight-year-old Martin Richard and the others he killed. None of them had “provoked” him. This is richly deserved. Many of his co-religionists, meanwhile, are plotting now to give the death penalty to a great many more Americans.
“Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Gets Death Penalty in Boston Marathon Bombing,” by Katharine Q. Seelye, New York Times, May 15, 2015:
BOSTON — Dzhokhar Tsarnaev sat stone-faced in a federal court here on Friday as a jury sentenced him , to death for setting off bombs at the 2013 Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured hundreds more in the worst terrorist attack on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001.
The jury of seven women and five men, which last month convicted Mr. Tsarnaev, 21, of all 30 charges against him, 17 of which carry the death penalty, took more than 14 hours to reach its decision.
It was the first time a federal jury had sentenced a terrorist to death in the post-Sept. 11 era, according to Kevin McNally, director of the Federal Death Penalty Resource Counsel Project, which coordinates the defense in capital punishment cases.
Prosecutors portrayed Mr. Tsarnaev, who immigrated to Cambridge, Mass., from the Russian Caucasus with his family in 2002, as a coldblooded, unrepentant jihadist who sought to kill innocent Americans in retaliation for the deaths of innocent Muslims in American-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The bombings transformed the marathon, a cherished rite of spring, from a sunny holiday on Boylston Street to a smoky battlefield scene, with shrapnel flying, bodies dismembered and blood saturating the sidewalks; three people were killed outright, while 17 people lost at least one leg. More than 240 others sustained serious injuries, some of them life-altering.
“After all of the carnage and fear and terror that he has caused, the right decision is clear,” a federal prosecutor, Steven Mellin, said in his closing argument. “The only sentence that will do justice in this case is a sentence of death.”
With death sentences, an appeal is all but inevitable, and the process generally takes years if not decades to play out. Of the 80 federal defendants sentenced to death since 1988, only three, including Timothy J. McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, have been executed. Most cases are still tied up in appeal. In the rest, the sentences were vacated or the defendants died or committed suicide.
The Tsarnaev verdict goes against the grain in Massachusetts, which has no death penalty for state crimes and where polls showed that residents overwhelmingly favored life in prison for Mr. Tsarnaev. Many respondents said that life in prison for one so young would be a fate worse than death, and some worried that execution would make him a martyr….
Yeah, that might provoke the jihadis. Mustn’t do that.
miriamrove says
Good. I was hoping for this. Had he been sent to life, it would have cost the tax payers millions of $$$$. Once the execute him, they should wrap him in white cloth and dump the f… out in the ocean just like they did Bin Laden!! M
Alissa says
I think that would be an excellent way to rid our countries of a lot of muzzies. Load them on to a plane with a trap door and fly over the Atlantic ocean.
Jerry says
Better still, execute him,
Cremate him,
Pack the ashes in an
uncleaned pig intestine
and dump into a particularly
oil and waste polluted remote
part of the ocean where
no edible fish or seafood survives.
cs says
I thought the same thing. I must say there are loads of morons crying over the sentence of this goat abuser on the NYtimes. I am appalled by it, he does not deserve any tear, we are actually doing the guy a favor, he will be reunited with the 72 virgins in paradise.
Kepha says
No, MR, no. Don’t you know why Al Qaida conceded that BinLaden actually was killed? Some of them tracked the US helicopter and took a small boat out into the Arabian Sea to follow it, they watched it land on the Navy shiip, and some time afterwards, they saw a white-shrouded thing tipped off the ship–and an hour later a huge cloud of dead fish and crabs floating to the surface.
I don’t want Joker Tsarnaev destroying anyone else’s fishing grounds in like manner.
Thomas says
Will he appeal his death sentence?
If his goal is to get to his heavenly rewards ASAP, he should just let them execute him without an appeal.
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
YAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God these jurors got rid of him PERMANENTLY.
Had they allowed life, he’d have been proselytizing 24/7 while living on US-not just you and I, but the USA he tried his best to bring down.
As for his funeral rites: They should wrap him in a pork-impregnated shroud and THEN dump him into the ocean. But first they should tell him they’re going to do that. So he could eat his own liver thinking about ‘no virgins’ in muslo-heaven.
A good day’s work was done today.
Mirren10 says
I totally agree, miriam. Justice has been done.
The thing that *infuriates* me, however, is that no doubt this scumbag pos toerag’s lawyers will now tie up the system with endless appeals. He may very well spend *decades* on death row, with American taxpayers footing the bill.
If that turns out to be the case, let’s hope one of his fellow inmates does for him, preferably after he’s been raped a million times by big Bubba.
miriamrove says
You have a great point here. I did not think about the appeals. Does he have the right to appeal? M
JamesonRocks says
Yes… I understand that the first appeal is automatic…
Georg says
Let it be known: Anyone wanting shaheed can find it here quick. We’ll make you famous.
Westman says
Unless they keep him seperate from the rest of the prison population, he’ll never survive until execution. He’s a child-killer, an anti-patriot with violence directed against all Americans, and also an embarassment to US muslims. What prison segment will tolerate him?
When it sinks into his mind, he’ll be on suicide watch.
Ed says
Wrong! Fellow musslim prisoners will protect their hero tzarnev.
Peggy says
He is a source of price to the US Muslims, especially the ones in jail.
They should not have him anyhwhere near the other Muslim in jail. He will be their prophet in no time at all if allowed to be with them.
epistemology says
Yep, Mirren you’re right appeal is an automatic procedure and might cost the American taxpayer a lot of dough. But first of all justice has been done, and you’re also right on the other issue. He’s gonna be raped by his fellow inmates. I wish him a lot of fun in jail. Fuck Islam, the Western world must get rid of muzzies
Wellington says
At least 14 years of successful appeals, Mirren. That’s my prediction. And the entire appeal process mess exists because of the people against the death penalty who then turn around shamelessly and say that one of the reasons why we shouldn’t have the death penalty is because the appeal process is so long and costly.
Meanwhile, yes indeed, it would not bother me one bit if this young SOB becomes a “girlfriend” to many. To hell with this bastard. But I think it should never be forgotten that he is, after all, a good Muslim and has many fellow sickos in the Islamic world on his side. Just as the ultimate cause of 9/11 and the London bombings and the Fort Hood masscre was Islam, so is it the case with the Boston Marathon bombing. Islam in all of these heinous endeavors was the “but for” cause. But for Islam none of them and some 25,000 other acts of terrorism just since 9/11 would have occurred. Islam is so horrible—and so costly—and so deadly. Screw it.
Mirren10 says
Agreed, Wellington.
What also concerns me is this excerpt from the article:
”Judge O’Toole did not set a date for formally sentencing Mr. Tsarnaev. But at that point, some of the survivors will have a chance to tell the court — and Mr. Tsarnaev — how the bombings had affected their lives.”
Is this actually part of the sentencing process ? By allowing Tsarnaev to sit in Court and listen to these poor people’s anguish ? He’ll revel in every minute, and shouldn’t be allowed to do so.
I wish someone would just shoot his evil head off.
gravenimage says
Yes, Mirren, this actually *is* part of the process in the US, although it is of fairly recent vintage. It is intended to give the convicted felon a real sense of how he has hurt people.
But in the case of many offenders they will not spend this phase ruing their crimes, but gleefully re-living them—and in the case of Jihadists like Tsarnaev, this is virtually a given.
There *are* some few felons who actually regret their crimes and want to atone for them—but even in these cases I don’t believe this is a particularly useful phase.
It is also intended to give victims a voice—but I think this makes sense only during the trial and the sentencing phase itself, where the audience for this should be the jurors, and not the perpetrator.
Mirren10 says
Thanks for that information, graven.
You say this horrendous conception is of fairly recent vintage.
”It is intended to give the convicted felon a real sense of how he has hurt people”
It seems to me, this is yet another example of how the PC/MC lefty brigade is far more concerned with the feelings and welfare of the **perpetrator**, rather than those of the **victims**. Never mind **their** agony, one must give the vicious scumbag who assaulted, raped, murdered, an opportunity to expiate his own (purported ! ) angst.
As you say, the majority of perpetrators, and **especially** the scumbag Tsarnaev, will simply revel in this opportunity to relive their crimes, and to wallow in the agony of their victims.
I would love to know, who, exactly, are the people responsible for these grotesque parodies of ‘justice’. Are they subject to any scrutiny, at all ? One wonders if they are at all capable of any empathy whatsoever, and their position if they, and their loved ones, were ever to be in the position of the victims they so blithely throw overboard, in favour of the ‘redemption’ of the evil perpetrators. They and their ilk **sicken** me. Blech.
Wellington says
Gravenimage, MIrren, has already adequately and accurately responded to your query about loved ones of a murder victim having their “day in court” with the sentenced murderer and so I need not add to this except to say that I too think it rooted far more in emotion than reason, though I don’t give this particular matter much thought. What I do object to is the lengthy appeal process. Were I to have it my way I would give the appeal process a maximum of one year. If no reversal by then (and I would as well make the possibility of a reversal almost legally impossible), then execution would proceed.
I might also add that NOT having the death penalty is immoral. I concede no high ground whatsoever to those against the death penalty and would point out to anyone against it that a convicted murderer who then murders again, whether it be a prison guard, a fellow inmate, a medical staff person attending him, someone outside the prison because of escape, etc., means that those against the death penalty have blood on their hands. Death penalty critics always like to put those for the death penalty on the defensive on moral grounds (and other grounds too) but I flip them on this and say, in complete Zola mode, “I accuse.”
Kepha says
Wellington, I’m shocked at you. You’re leaving the door open for every Jihadi terrorist to plead innocent on the grounds of insanity! [sarc]
The guy who assassinated Anton Cermak when he was trying to get FDR exhausted his appeals process in about two or three weeks, then went to Old Sparky. That’s why I also take a pretty jaundiced view about those anti-death penalty types who draw out the appeals process, and then complain what a long and costly process the appeals process is (as if someone won’t come along, wave Chekhov’s story about “The Prisoner”, and complain that life imprisonment is also cruel and unusual). My guess is that even after a dozen years, an execution is still cheaper than maintaining a sociopath for forty or fifty years.
The jury did the right thing in this case. The Joker needs to go.
But it bothers me that this smugly Leftist court can abandon its aversion to the death penalty (Boston, after all) when there’s something politically high-profile about the case. The run-of-the-mill non-ideological thug who skills a robbery victim because he doesn’t have enough money on him and other such lowlifes should also be executed.
Vote for Uncle Kepha for Grand Dictatorial Poo-bah! I’ll empty the prisons of America by getting the half million or so most violent criminals now doing life and have Chinese progressive-style people’s courts try them on the Washington Mall and then summarily execute them (and bill their families for the bullets used).
gravenimage says
Yes—his lawyers will be appealing for years. But this is to be expected—I doubt they overturn this verdict.
duh_swami says
How many appeals is he entitled to? How much will those cost?
During the Civil War, my 2 gg uncles were captured by the Confederates, given a 10 min military trial, found guilty of resisting with arms, and hanged immediately…No fooling around. No appeals…If death is the penalty it should be done within the hour…The virgins are waiting…
Angemon says
I’d say I hope he fries, but it’ll probably be by lethal injection. All the same to me – he’s getting what he deserved. And I wished the guys who decided to ignore the warnings from the Russians were also punished in some way, from the person who decided to ignore them to the person whose policies made ignoring them possible.
Michael Copeland says
There ought to be some action over another matter: the handling of the 2011 Waltham triple homicide now thought to have been committed by Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The Boston police described the victims as “stabbed in the neck”, and put the crime down to some drug dispute. More recently, when the murders were being looked at again, the police said the victims had had their throats slashed so severely that their heads were almost severed, “It was like something out of Al Qaeda”.
That was a very heavy clue, and it was missed.
Had that been investigated, leading as it did to the Tsarnaevs, there would have been no Marathon bomb.

gravenimage says
Very true, Michael.
Alan says
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
revereridesagain says
They made the right choice morally. Death is what he deserves. Being locked up in a cage for the next 50-60 years is also what he deserves. But it is going to be difficult for the victims facing years of appeals.
The initial coverage reported that “the Djoker” as he’s called around here in the Boston area raised two index fingers at waist level when the decision was read. Isn’t that the ISIS sign? If so, I wonder how long it will take the dhimmedia to catch on.
Kepha says
No, the taxpayers of America don’t deserve to support the Joker for another 50-60 years.
Lee Hicks says
Yes, a truly just sentence. He will have plenty of time for repentance and the chance to accept Christ, as the process of execution takes years.
Hopefully he will see how duped he was by the false god, Allah, and will turn to the one, true God before his execution.
Regardless as to whether he does or not, the execution of the just sentence should take place without fail. A change of heart would not negate the death sentence that he earned.
RG says
@LeeHicks.
Not for nothin’, but don’t hold your breath, this guy has earned his reservation next to his brother in HELL!!
revereridesagain says
If he decides to “accept Christ” will that mean he’ll go to Heaven, but any of his victims who happen to be atheist will go to burn forever in Hell?
How nice.
abad says
Lee: Precisely, but whether Zohak renounces the evil of Islam and accepts Christ as his Lord and Savior…ultimately it has to be his decision, yes, the less-than-tolerant Muslim community would put a fatwa on his head and IMHO I am not sure Zohak even has a conscience left to find his true salvation. But at least justice on this earth has been done, as all moral and ethical people have the responsibility and obligation to do so whenever crimes like this take place.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Many of his co-religionists…
Co-Moslems might be a better term, because Islam is a government and military in addition to a religion. That’s why the mass murder by the Tsarnaev was the right thing to do by the lights of the Holy Ko-Ran.
Here’s a fundraiser for the victims of the Boston Marathon Bombing: raffle off the right to be the person who pulls the trigger on Dzhokhar to execute him. Televise the raffle drawing on national TV, and then do a remote interview with the winner in his home. His face pixellated for anonymity, of course. Don’t want anybody else to suffer the predations of Islam. I bet the event would get top ratings and bring in tens of millions in raffle ticket purchase dollars.
But there’d be a catch. The execution would be televised just like the raffle, and the guest executioner would be required to give the dying Dzhokhar the finger as he gags and spasms, like he gave America the finger.
JamesonRocks says
He gets an automatic appeal… But here’s the question I’m wondering about: In his f**k-up moozie belief system, is he eligible for the 72 virgins once he dies from the lethal injection?
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Yes, upon execution he becomes a holy martyr and as a Mujahidin he will ascend to heaven and be admitted to the porno heaven Jannat. He’ll probably be greeted with a handshake and congrats by the Prophet Mohammed himself.
That’s the bummer of this story. After he’s dead, I’ll be getting up at 5AM and riding with a scowling Somali cab driver to the airport to go see a customer somewhere. Meanwhile, Dzhokhar will be sitting on his throne, gazing over his stock of 11 yr old houris, nonchalantly deciding which one to hop on and Allalhu Akbar!
They say you can’t win for losing, but, if you’re a Moslem, you *can* win for murdering. That’s why it’s such a high growth resilient belief system.

I’m sure Rolling Stone will be broken up about it.

Rolling Stone and its followers will be so sad!! Morons! Will they publish his glamorized picture again so as to start a movement of tweens to spare him the death penalty!
vox populi says
I would rather make sure it’s a lady who will push the button to eliminate this has been jihadist.
If one thing is for sure, “man killed by a woman = no paradise/no virgins”.
Women as executioners would be the most powerful deterrent ever, for those chaps ….
abad says
I am a woman and more than happy to push the button on Zohak. Ah well I can dream…
Stu Tarlowe says
It might be more fitting had he been sentenced to have his legs blown off. Then give him a couple of tourniquets and say, “Good Luck, Asshole!” And if he survived, let him crawl around with no legs the rest of his worthless life.
Paul says
This arrogant little prick is so sure he’s going to get his 72 virgins
in the afterlife (could be “72 raisins”, a mistranslation from the
Arabic – one for the scholars that), purportedly granted to him by
a pagan rock and repackaged version of the false god Baal,
whose worship we are explicitly warned against in the Bible.
If he’s lucky he might at some point get to see his dead
Muhammadan wannabe Arab brother – in hell.
Richie says
Obama will pardon him, just watch
Alan Fontana says
Ugh, you could have spared me that thought.
I checked out this link:
http://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/articles/2/essays/89/pardon-power
Presidents have reasons for pardons, often to prevent public outrage or to stop prolonged strife. Examples are given in the link. What reason would 0bama give for such a pardon?
If 0bama pardoned this guy, it would be premature, as there is no mitigating feeling or circumstance — including the ‘youth card’ if it’s played. 0bama would be putting a silver stake in the heart of every Democrat who has ever stood by him. In civilian life he would be as popular as OJ, among an ever smaller circle of friends, until his own dog won’t lift a leg on him.
By pardoning Tsarnaev, 0bama approves of the bombing, plain an simple. Let him try.
Champ says
“This is richly deserved.”
Indeed!
Richie says
Moonbat liberals in MA upset with the sentence are already lamenting ‘He’s just a kid’!
Isabellathecrusader says
Unfortunately, after he exhausts all his tax payer paid appeals we probably won’t actually get the taxpayer relief shot until he’s 57.
Alan Fontana says
Perhaps my fellow Americans are beginning to understand that if we do not hand out the death penalty for crimes such as this one man committed, then our country is doomed at the hands of legions of such people.
Too many Americans have thought for too long – in the words of Frank Zappa – “It can’t happen here,” Well it did.
Don McKellar says
In order for this to have real “teeth” for Islamic supremacists, he should be subject to a full castration and de-peckering before he dies. To deny him any pleasure with his 72 virgins. That would scare them more than anything.
Mirren10 says
”That would scare them more than anything.”
I doubt it. Suicide bombers turn into flying mince, but they think they’ll be reconstituted in jannat.
Don McKellar says
This is just another contradiction in Islam, isn’t it? They are terrified of mutilation and desecration of the body because they think that’s what they’ll be stuck with in “paradise” — and yet they blow themselves up, losing their sex organs, and think they’re going to get 72 virgins in “paradise”. That’s Islamic Logic for you.
Don McKellar says
The difference is that they lost their willies while murdering infidels, while those mutilated by infidels are in a different boat when they meet the Moon God. Islamic Logic.
Mirren10 says
Yes, I’m sure ‘allah’ appreciates this nuanced difference ! 🙂
Kepha says
No, strap him with a pressure cooker bomb laced with lard-coated nails, ball bearings, and glass shards between his legs and detonate it by remote control.
revereridesagain says
This is what I heard about the hand gesture:
http://www.wdsu.com/national/urgent-tsarnaev-death-sentence-hand-gesture/33046910
I’ve been watching coverage for a couple of hours and haven’t heard it repeated. But Tsarnaev’s hands were cuffed in front of him so he could not raise them. I don’t think this was a “pistol” gesture, I think it’s the ISIS raised index finger salute.
A raghead a-O to the bitter end.
Ed says
What we all really deserved was to let this jihadist bleed to death.
abad says
Good. Zohak needs to be made an example of.
Our borders should have been shut completely, to EVERYONE, IMMEDIATELY following 9-11. When I say everyone I mean everyone, not just Muslims. Any remaining Muslims on American soil should have been interned just like FDR did with Japanese-Americans following the Pearl Harbor attack.
vlparker says
The head prosecutor said this was not a religious crime. So now the prosecutor knows more about why Tsarnaev committed his crime than Tsarnaev does. How do such brain dead idiots attain such positions?
Linde Barrera says
The reality of the Boston Marathon bombing hit home for me when on May 2, 2013, I called my childhood friend in California and she told me her neighbor on her block came back from the Boston Marathon minus a leg. As far as The Joker is concerned, he got the verdict he deserved. I have been praying that the Holy Spirit speaks to him about Jesus Christ, but whether he accepts the Lord or not, does not change his earthly conviction. The Joker deserves to be shot by a firing squad as soon as possible. I salute the prosecution team and the jury for their astuteness. Their efforts and decisions were not “politically correct”,
thank God. And Mr. President would not dare to pardon this premeditated murder, for fear of being impeached, in my opinion. And Don McKellar, I love your suggestions!
gravenimage says
I’m so sorry to hear about your friend;s neighbor, Linde. This vile Jihadist has a lot to answer for, and now he will.
Linde Barrera says
Hi graven- Thank you for your kind thoughts. I was chatting with a local buddy of mine who, when I asked her if it could be possible that “Joker”‘s death sentence be commuted or pardoned by Mr President, she said, “The US doesn’t deal with terrorists, so why should any president pardon him?” I didn’t say anything after that, but I wanted to tell her how the US gives money to those ISIS terrorists to fight the Assad regime in Syria, which I learned from various contributors to this site. Take care, gravenimage. Keep strutting your stuff—your artwork. You are, in my opinion, awesome.
weavo2 says
They should chain him to a pressure cooker, like the one he designed for the Boston bombing. Then when all are clear it can be detonated remotely. An eye for an eye and all that.
Marty says
I understand your feelings.
However, a more civilised punishment would be for him to be executed by a woman.
No paradise, no 72 permanent virgins, no eternal supply of halal hamburgers.
David says
I totally agree with Marty. In addition, I think his mouth should be stuffed with tasty bacon, just to make sure he gets to where his “god” lives.
Bantheburka says
Finally the liberal left have come to their senses. They just saved the taxpayers almost 4 million dollars to keep this punk in jail for the next 50 years +. Lets hope they execute quickly.
Ashley says
“Many of his co-religionists, meanwhile, are plotting now to give the death penalty to a great many more Americans.”

This young immigrant man had everything. He was in the US with the opportunity of an education and a future. Working in immigration law, I know so many who would be grateful for this opportunity and so many who are begging for same.
What a waste of so many human lives owing to this event, including this young man’s.
The defense will appeal, of course, which is its right. It may take years for the sentence to be realized, if at all.
Perhaps, during those years, this young man may reflex upon his actions and show some remorse for the innocents he murdered and those of whom he maimed.
Lu says
Well -,during the years of his incarceration America may become so Islamized that he can be released as a hero in 30-40 years. Hence – death for this beast; he is a representative of the murderous ideology and as such the penalty he received is fair: the nazis got death in nurnberg and he is the same: these are crimes against humanity and civilization must protect herself …
Neutronium says
Not if he’s incarcerated in a supermax.
Sorry but IMHO the death penalty is a merciful cop out. I would have punished him by leaving him in a dark cell or even sensory deprevation tank with a feeding tube.
celtic warriarcanada says
Hallelujah ! NOW THAT’S THE AMERICA I REMEMBER ! A DEFINITE SIGN OF HOPE . Congradulations MRS. TSARNAEV . The son you brought into the world , who you dedicated to your WAR DEMON ALLAH , will now go to THE MUSLIM HEAVEN . NO 70 VIRGINS to RAPE over and over .NO young boys to dominate and SODOMIZE . ONLY DARKNESS, HOPELESSNESS , DESPAIR, WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH, for ALL ETERNITY .HIS only HOPE NOW? TO turn to the SAVIOR of the people YOUR SO CALLED HOLY BOOK ,TAUGHT YOUR SON TO HATE AND TO DESTROY . THE TRUE GOD, IS WILLING TO FORGIVE. BUT IN THIS LIFE THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES for OUR ACTIONS . I TRULY HOPE YOUR SON REPENTS OF HIS EVIL AND TURNS TO JESUS CHRIST . BUT I WON’T HOLD MY BREATH. IF YOU TRAIN UP YOUR CHILDREN TO BE EMOTIONLESS SAVAGES EXPECT THEM TO ACT THAT WAY !
David says
He should be executed immediately. I think he should be hung at sunrise tomorrow morning. It’s ridiculous that the death penalty phase took this long.
Godwin says
Yes. after wasting so much of tax payers’ money. Millions of Muslims are dying to go to America to have a comfortable life. And this idiot busted it due the influence of his elder brother n his religious teachings. Instead of getting his 72 virgins, he will descend into hell fires for sure.
He should be given the firing squad to warn others not to do the same to America.
TheBuffster says
Unfortunately, the jihadist mentality isn’t put off by such things as firing squads. They’re just as happy to be killed as to kill.
t. says
I 100% agree that he should be executed immediately, especially given the abundance of evidence of his crimes and stubbornness! His kind is the mother of all mother f*ckers.
gravenimage says
Godwin, most Muslims aren’t coming to the West to have a “comfortable life”, but as a form of Hijira—that is, to impose Shari’ah law on us. And this is true even of most “moderate” Muslims, who leave it to their more devout coreligionists—like Dzhokhar Tsarnaev—to actually wage violent Jihad.
David says
Absolutely, the execution should be carried out within 30 days. To allow these fiends to live 10-15 years at our expense makes the justice system a mockery, and gives them plenty of time to find a bleeding heart judge, who will commute his sentence, allowing him many more years to convert the poor devils in the prison to his damnable cause.
Bezelel says
He can indeed repent at some point prior to his execution and there is no way of knowing anymore than accepting that as a possibility. Whether he does or not he is still getting off easy compared to his victims. Realistically we don’t have provision for cruel and unusual punishment so the method to use to kill him will be limited to what the state will permit. His treatment prior to and his remains after the execution are subject to numerous variables. I should hope that in what is left of his existence he will experience events that will assure him that he has absolutely no hope in allah and also assured that his remains will be in such a vile condition that his own mother will refuse them.
Ringolevio says
What we prohibit is cruel AND unusual punishment, not cruel OR unusual punishment. So blowing Tsarnaev’s legs off and letting him bleed to death might be cruel, but it’s hardly unusual because that’s precisely what his victims were subjected to.
Richie says
I hope he kills himself in his cell. He’ll be a welcome addition to Hell, and it would save the taxpayers a fortune
bernie says
In Russia, they would have poured lard on him and wrapped him up in pigskin before burial, as they did to the carcasses of the Beslan terrorists.
TheBuffster says
There’s something that might make some jihadists think twice.
Bezelel says
bernie, It’s understandable why they buried them that way. I would even understand if they dug them up and repeated the process annually.
Ernie says
Hahaha! You make me smile Bezelel , yes , a very nice proposal !
Richie says
I cant get over the cowardice of this piece of shit- he deliberately placed a bomb behind a child,
Muslims think they are such brave warriors, but their many examples of cowardice are stunning
bernie says
In Canada last year, there was the Islamist terrorist who shot an armed soldier in the back before being killed by an old man.
I also think of the young kids who were killed in Belsan by the craven islamist savages.
voegelinian says
No worries: as longtime Jihad Watch reader Wellington assured us, there is only a “living blueprint” of our mass-murder afoot — not “actual mass-murder”. So we can operate business as usual, apparently; and certainly ought not worry that the “living blueprint” reasonably portends our actual mass murder on a scale that should move us to take robust pre-emptive action against Muslims, such as total deportation (as opposed to the chest-beating partial deportation of a Phillip Jihadski who apparently has a magical key that can determine which Muslims are dangerous, and which ones are not).

An example of doubling down on stupid. How perfect.
voegelinian says
Western Canadian’s terse comment is ambiguous, if the “stupid” I was “doubling down on” was in the object of my criticism. If however he meant that my criticism itself was stupid, he might be able to persuade reasonable people of that, if he actually made a case. But it’s so much easier to slap on a label, isn’t it?

Reading that, one might get the impression that voeg would surely and certainly meet any criticism with a detailed analysis meticulously explaining why said criticism was unwarranted. However…

Thanks PGuud. If any of the complaints about me are warranted, we’ll never know until someone produces an adequate argument demonstrating that (and with some of my detractors, even just any old argument would be nice).

Like I said: never an adequate counter-argument (only — at best (and rarely at that) — blustery appearances of one).”
So much easier to slap on a label indeed…
Angemon says
And once again voeg does what he does often: misrepresenting and lying about counter-jihadis. It’s especially egregious in Wellington’s case, since Wellington pleaded to PJ cut voeg some slack. So voeg asks for people to come and defend him from PJ, and when someone does just that, that’s the thanks he gets. As the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished.
As for the allegation regarding PJ, it’s an absolute reversal of the truth. It is also a textbook case of being hoist by his own petard. See, 8-10 months ago there as an argument going on, and PJ and voeg were on opposite sides. Voeg concluded that there was no way to tell dangerous from harmless muslims, and PJ replied with “yeah, you can’t tell dangerous white, non-muslims from harmless white, non-muslims. You can’t tell who’s dangerous or not simply by looking at someone”. And yet, voeg is here telling us that PJ claimed to be able determine which muslims are dangerous and which are harmless. That is the part where truth is reversed – PJ never made such claim, much to the contrary.
The textbook case of being hoist by his own petard is this:

The Amish look is the Islamic look, at least for their front-line mujahideen:
One of the two attackers looked “Amish” —

It could well be that the police Vicki is asking about were simply being rationally suspicious of anyone there with a beard and no moustache (one hopes for the day, nonetheless, when profiling will be more rational, and granularize the physiognomic factor — not eliminate it, just fine-tune it; since we already know (cf., the 911 hijackers) that Muslim attackers can also try to blend in appearance-wise).”
Voegelinian, who tries to ridicule PJ by lying and saying that PJ stated he could tell dangerous muslims from harmless ones, hopes for the day where… simply looking at people will tell us who is an attacking muslims trying to blend in – a.k.a., telling dangerous from harmless muslims.
Katnis says
I am haunted by the same thought. He paused twenty seconds behind the children before placing the backpack bomb behind them. The action was planned and deliberate. He said the killing of innocent people is justified by the kuran.
gravenimage says
Very true, Richie. The “Lions of Islam” and “brave Mujahideen” are the most craven cowards imaginable.
fido says
This tsarnaev roach should get an instant trip to satan, but he won’t. He sit on death row for years as he continues to eat up tax money keeping this useless lump of carbon alive to stick his middle finger in the face of every American citizen. What a contemptible and disgusting excuse for a human being.
William Lucas Harvey Jr. says
VERY Excellent Decision, the Jurors did the Right thing on this one, and I think that him giving them the “Finger” sort of Blew away ANY possibility of a Defense that he may have had ANY “Remorse” whatsoever.
However it IS a shame that an IGNORANT U.S. attorney had to soil this decision by implying that Islam had nothing to do with this Islamic terrorist attack, which is essentially supporting our “Inperial Potus” Obama, with HIS Islam, Muslim Pandering “Sympathies” and”Denials” .
jo says
Carmen Ortiz, the lead federal prosecutor, announced after the death penalty was decided in this case that we should “Make no mistake. This was not a Muslim crime.” I don’t think it was a Methodist or Eskimo crime. Who should we believe her or the jihadis?
Talk about politically correct!!!
Moderate Muslims should be crawling under their prayer rugs and asking their leaders to please come out and dissociate establishment American Islam from these murderous jihadis.
I would love to see a group of Muslim leaders from CAIR surrounding an American flag pledging allegiance.
If you walk into a Sons of Italy lodge you will see a photo of the officers of that lodge pledging allegiance. Italian-Americans wanted to make a point in the Fascist era before and during WWII:we are Americans first ready to fight and die for this country not fascist Italy.
Moderate Muslims: pledge allegiance. Dissociate yourselves from these…murderers.
Lu says
Very good point : pledge allegiance to the Republic. They won’t. If they are citizens and born here, they do not have to. If they are naturalized, they falsely pledged their allegiance as theirs is only to the Ummah. In sum: traitors of the country giving them good life and freedoms they could not even dream of in the hellholes where they or their parents came from … Fascism on the rise. We haven not learn anything from WWII?
Seth says
As Drudge says, Allahu Akbar!
Anthony says
I’m not usually a supporter of the death penalty but for Tsarnaev I make an exception. It’s hard to think of a more deserving case.
Rob says
But again the barmy US official commenting on the decision says it’s not an Islamic crime.
Why is it necessary for any official comment to be made about religious motivation?
It was tried as a civil crime in a civil court. She has to comment on the civil outcome which presumably would be along the lines of ‘I believe the Court came to the right decision today’
Carlos Malleum says
These jihadis think they are soldiers. The problem is we try them as civilians.
Military war crimes tribunal followed by hanging within 3 days. A la Nurenburg
Personally I’d be happy to throw him in solitary for the next 50 years and George him. Those who have been jailed in max security solitary usually prefer death after 20 years or do.
They should bring back the oubliette dungeon only instead of darkness keep a flickering neon on 24/7 and keep the temperature at a stuffy 20 degrees C all the time, no fresh air, constant flickering light. No human contact whatsoever… Ever again. He’d be eating his own fingers within a 6 months and a gibbering drooling lunatic. Then just leave him like that.
Or get him back to his Persian roots by the ancient Persian way of execution of the most heinous criminals, Scaphism An Ancient Persian method of execution in which the condemned was placed in between two boats, force fed a mixture of honey and milk, and left floating in a stagnant pond. The victim would then suffer from severe diarrhea, which would attract insects that would burrow, nest, and feed on the unfortunate victim. The unfortunate victim would eventually die from septic shock.
Records show it would take about 3 weeks to die, typically the mixture of milk and honey would be force fed daily and the boats would be hollowed out trunks allowing his arms, legs and head to stick out of holes, holes which didn’t fit too tight to allow the flies, centipedes etc access to the heaving, fecal infected mess of a body but to keep out mammals, reptiles and amphibians which would kill him too quickly. usually the arms legs and head would be coated in honey as well. It works best in warm tropical climates. When the regicide Mithrades was executed this way it took 14 days, when they opened the boats up there wasn’t much left that would he recognisable.
I think this would be appropriate for daesh
Rita says
I think that nasty piece of islamist female who spawned him should go with him.

Andrew H. says
Too much fuss, too much expense. One more bullet when they found him hidden in that boat would have done the job and saved the taxpayer a small fortune. But this is not closure by a long shot. He had supporters and they need to be found and eliminated. The mosque he attended incubates his kind. It needs to be blown to bits.
Ashley says
Andrew and others…I agree. It is a misfortune this terrorist didn’t expire in that boat. He was in such critical condition and wanted to die.
The cost of restoring this bastard back to health is staggering. The cost of trying this bastard is staggering. The cost of maintaining him will be staggering. And the emotional toll this has taken on all involved…the victims, the jury, etc. is immeasurable.
He should have been put of society’s misery when the time was ripe and opportune. Better yet, left to simply pass on his own.
Just my opinion.
gravenimage says
I see your point, but I believe it is actually important to know that we can try and convict Jihad terrorists. This case shows that we can.
voegelinian says
Jihadists should be put on trial at all; they should be treated as enemy combatants killing us while waging war against us in a war they have declared against us — i.e., they should merely be forensically determined to be the aforementioned, then dispatched militarily (only temporarily sparing their lives should we need to creatively interrogate them for valuable intel to save innocent lives).
voegelinian says
Major typo:
“Jihadists should be put on trial at all”
should be
“Jihadists should NOT be put on trial at all”
Isabella van der westhuizen says
I am sorry but this is the Wests fault
Why did the let all these Muslims into western countries in the first place
The horse has bolted a long time ago
One hundred and fifty years ago you could take in a starving Irish man a Jew fleeing the Pogroms and an out of work destitute Italian or German and be confident you could integrate them
Why because beneath it all they were Christians
Taking in Muslims is just storing up problems
They will never integrate and then they will demand Sharia and Halaal
It is time for the west to catch a major wake up
rcourtemanche says
Past experience indicates he might spend years in jail before he’s actually executed which, in the case of Muslims, might be more difficult since they live to die.
lacey says
this is one evil sicko .haveing a horrible childhood is no reason to kill .he can stick his finger up his ass ,
Leith Wood says
The Boston bombings were all about Islamic Terrorism. To say otherwise is politically correct garbage. Russia warned America about the brothers, but the FBI blew the investigation and never even visited their mosque to learn what they were being taught. That would not have been pc. Death penalty is justice.
Alex says
I disagree with the sentence. They are giving him what he wanted, ie to become a martyr. Life in prison would’ve been worse for sure.
Xero_G says
Smug, supremicist, looking distracted, not a shred of remorse… Adios muthafukka, happy decomposition.
profitsbeard says
Only by rendering him ritually-unclean can this sentence deter future maniacs.
Pigskin nooses are tough and cost-effective.
del eggert says
why waste time cooking the issue and printing a lot of comment from supporters who would never be fair about this. Get the firing squad out on Monday morning.
bernie says
If you use a firing squad, make sure that all the shooters are women. Also, grease the bullets with pork lard first and publcily declare this, and bury his corpse in pigskin.
Vijay says
As a last meal they should force feed him unhalal tasty bacon and roast pork with a threat to squeeze his testicles with a nutcracker if he refuses. Threatening him with anything else will be useless as he wishes to die a martyr anyway.
Rick Spencer says
I saw on the news that the judicial spkeswoman stated that the crime was POLITICAL, not ‘religious”. What PC crap that is! Of course it was for RELIGIOUS convictions, carried put by brainwashed Mohammedans! But, yes, ISLAM is more of a socio-political system than a religion! There is far too much PC in the West and the Mohammedans are taking advantantage of it in a big way!
cathy says
It costs nearly triple annually to keep an inmate on death row.
if he is put in general population he would be killed long before he would be on death row, and in a more appropriate manner…..more like the suffering he did to those innocent people.
Peggy says
A death sentence should only be given in extreme cases such as this one so the sentence was 100% right. Why keep this evil in jail and allow him to breath the same air we do?
Some say that a life sentence for him would be worse than death but a life sentence would be worse for us because he would never stop trying to get out.
What could happen is that maybe some decades from now laws could change and some naive parole board could give him his freedom. Do we really want to risk that? You never know what the future brings so let’s get rid of this evil now and nobody can grant him any freedom in the future.
So when people say that he should stay in jail for live instead of get the death penalty, I don’t think they are taking the possibility of him getting out one day. Even stamped never to be released might not mean that in 30 years time. Best be sure and kill him.
Fred says
No death penalty = no justice. Simple fact. Life in prison is not worse than death… just bcoz he will stay alive and unharmed, and probably will hope that we will be released by Obama… like he released “taliban five”.
I really really want this murderous bastard dead. I hope that America will not go sharia compliant way and will execute him eventually.
p.s. good wishes from country that have no justice.
Paul Miller says
I disagree with Fred say….Dzhokhar Tsarnaev earning to kiledl 8 years old boy are innocent. He is a stupid to be a TERRORIST and pride himself. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev earning penalty to do evil thing.
Paul Miller says
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev got psyback then why he do this in first place.
Amokles says
Why do we care if we’re making ‘martyrs’ out of them? Oooh, they get to go to their imaginary brothel in the sky and live out their debauched fantasies for all eternity. Come on. If we don’t believe that’s their fate, then why do we care about executing them? Let them become unpleasantly disappointed when they find themselves gargling Satan’s cock in hell.
Life inprisonment runs the risk of them escaping or them proselytizing others to their sick faith. Death stops them permanently.
