Newly released docs: Boston Marathon jihad murderer showed “opposite of remorse” when he was captured

Jan 28, 2016 7:06 am By Robert Spencer

Why should he have shown any remorse? He had just murdered Infidels in obedience to his bloodthirsty god who commanded him to “kill them wherever you find them” (cf. Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 9:5).

Tsarnaev finger

“Prosecutors: Marathon bomber showed ‘opposite of remorse,'” by Denise Lavoie, Associated Press, January 27, 2016 Updated: January 27, 2016:

BOSTON (AP) — Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev gave a stunning courtroom apology when he was sentenced to death in the deadly 2013 attack, but just after he was captured, he showed “the opposite of remorse,” prosecutors said in court documents released Wednesday.

Tsarnaev, 22, was convicted last year and sentenced to die for his role in an attack that killed three people and injured more than 260. At his sentencing hearing, he said he was sorry for the lives he took and the suffering he caused.

In newly released court documents, prosecutors said Tsarnaev expressed anything but regret when he was questioned by two FBI agents after his capture days after the bombings. They included the description of Tsarnaev in a motion to limit the testimony of Sister Helen Prejean, a Roman Catholic nun and staunch death penalty opponent made famous by the 1995 film, “Dead Man Walking.”

Prosecutors argued that Prejean’s testimony should be excluded, calling it a “thinly disguised way for Tsarnaev to offer statements of remorse” without having to make them under oath, be cross-examined by prosecutors and allow jurors to gauge his sincerity for themselves. They argued that if Prejean was allowed to testify, they should be allowed to confront her with other statements Tsarnaev made to FBI agents after his capture.

Tsarnaev’s actual statements to the FBI agents or to Prejean were not released publicly. They are included in hundreds of other court filings that have not yet been released because prosecutors or Tsarnaev’s lawyers have asked that they remain sealed. More than 600 court filings and exhibits are being made public this week, but many more will remain sealed until the judge rules on their release.

Prejean was allowed to testify. She said Tsarnaev expressed genuine sorrow about the victims of the bombing, quoting him as saying, “No one deserves to suffer like they did.”

During his sentencing hearing, Tsarnaev apologized to the victims and their loved ones. “I pray for your relief, for your healing,” he said.

But during the trial, prosecutors showed the jury a photo of a defiant Tsarnaev giving the middle finger to a security camera in his jail cell three months after his arrest….

    He knows he did the right thing in the Cause of which Allah spoke repeatedly, he obeyed his commands and is a good Moslem. When arrested the deal was sealed that he’s going to Jannat, the Islamic porno heaven to be stiff on pile for eternity. Congratulations to Dzhokhar, not only for his victory but also for taking race out of Islamophobia. After all, he’s a Caucasians, as in from the Caucusus Mountains. To bad a few people had to die and some kids lost a leg or two, but in the long run the Cause is a marathon run under very demanding conditions.

    I am guessing that Tsarnaev is heavily conflicted. His religion tells him to kill. His humanity tells him not to.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 28, 2016 at 8:45 pm

      I think that’s *far* too rosy a view, Atheist. He only started lying after he realized how much trouble he was in.

      • IslamIsIslam says

        Jan 29, 2016 at 12:57 am

        His prayer is likely in line with Islamic ideology: He has worked and prayed for Islam to conquer; so in his mind that is when his victims and their family members will find sharia-style ‘relief’ and ‘healing’.

        How can a jihadi ever have remorse for his sharia-compliant actions toward kufar–that kind of remorse is un-Islamic.

      • Atheist7 says

        Jan 29, 2016 at 3:54 pm

        Graven, Yes I agree. Too rosey. But it is difficult to say what is in a persons mind. And, for some of us, those views can change as we get more information. On reflection I would guess: 95% religion, 5% humanity.

    Strange how they find remorse, when reality hits home. Not for what they’ve done, but for the fate that awaits them.

    This piece of Muslim shyte should be told that he will be buried in pig shit when he dies. That will take the smirk off his face. Yeah, yeah, yeah–I know. What about his ” human rights”, Muslims are” just people like us “, he misunderstood Islam and should be “de-programmed” et al.

        Hey watch it with the badmouthing pigs stuff. I personally have put lipstick on pig, and it works, fashion wise. And pigs can fly, outfitted with the proper equipment. Enough already with the pig hate rhetoric. They’re not the worst. For example, every single one of my 3,000 swine are better than any Moslem on earth, and I can prove it.

          Related joke from the time when Anti Lyndon Johnson sentiment was around:
          Guy1: Guy 1 walks into a bar and loudly proclaims: “Johnson is a horse’s ass”
          Then several people in the bar get up and beat the hell out him.
          Guy 1 replies to Guy 2: “I didn’t know that this was Johnson country.”
          Guy 2: “It isn’t. It’s Horse country”

      In Russia, the corpses of the Beslan School terrorists were buried in pig skins by the Russian gov’t to help dissuade other terrorists.

    Let them publically explain themselves if they refuse.

    Executed him the exact same way Black Jack Pershing did Muslim terrorists in the early 1900’s.

    It stopped the same problem cold.

    • Atheist7 says

      Jan 29, 2016 at 4:33 pm

      Thanks Dan. Sounds like a good idea. Will it catch on? And Thank-you About.com

      One important thing to remember is that Muslims detest pork because they believe pigs are filthy animals. Some of them simply refuse to eat it, while others won’t even touch pigs at all, nor any of their by-products. To them, eating or touching a pig, its meat, its blood, etc., is to be instantly barred from paradise and doomed to hell.

      Just before World War I, there were a number of terrorist attacks against the United States and it’s interests by, you guessed it, Muslim extremists.

      So General Pershing captured 50 of the terrorists and had them tied to posts execution style. He then had his men bring in two pigs and slaughter them in front of the, now horrified, terrorists.

      The soldiers then soaked their bullets in pigs blood, and proceeded to execute 49 of the terrorists by firing squad.

      The soldiers then dug a big hole, dumped in the terrorist’s bodies and covered them in pig blood, entrails, etc.

      They let the 50th man go. And for about the next 42 years, there was not a single attack by a muslim fanatic anywhere in the world.

    “Why should he have shown any remorse? He had just murdered Infidels in obedience to his bloodthirsty god who commanded him to “kill them wherever you find them” ”

    Exactly my reaction when I read the title.

    “They included the description of Tsarnaev in a motion to limit the testimony of Sister Helen Prejean, a Roman Catholic nun and staunch death penalty opponent made famous by the 1995 film, “Dead Man Walking.” ”

    Oh, wow! This woman is still around and defending murderers?! I remember watching that horrible movie based on her life. Even the movie itself clearly demonstrates the monstrous acts of the main character that she was defending! And yet he’s made out to be the victim in the story.

    I didn’t realize it then, but it was the start of my awakening to the evil of leftism. This worldview makes criminals into victims and victims into criminals.

    This woman is a disgrace to her (supposedly) Catholic faith!

    Is this jihadi murderer still alive?

  9. mortimer says

    Jan 28, 2016 at 6:15 pm

    It was un-Islamic for Tsarnaev to pray for his victims…that is FORBIDDEN in Islam to wish well to dirty kafirs …but he would have known that…and the prosecutor should have known that and the POLICE should have known that…and the JUDGE should have known it too!

    There is no excuse that none of them KNEW that Muslims MAY NOT PRAY FOR DISBELIEVERS!

  10. Angemon says

    Jan 28, 2016 at 6:45 pm

    Prejean was allowed to testify. She said Tsarnaev expressed genuine sorrow about the victims of the bombing, quoting him as saying, “No one deserves to suffer like they did.”

    Fine, he can take his regret directly to Sister Prejean’s boss.

    Would you expect remorse or sympathy from a medieval killer from the dark ages, or a neanderthal cave dweller? Same thing. Muslims have been living in the seventh century their entire lives… they have no concept of anything else. When a nation lets thousands, or millions of muslims into its territory, it’s like turning time back several hundred years, so what can you expect? Modern sensibilities are the result of centuries of psychological evolution, evolution that never happened to muslims. They are still living in the dark ages with all the feelings and reactions that were common then.

    ……………………..

    This does not surprise in the least. This Jihadist only started showing “remorse” when it came time to fool the credulous Infidels and inveigle a softer sentence.

    Every day that this killer is able to breathe is a loss in this battle. We should really follow Dracula’s example and impale him.

    It’s a good thing the San Bernardino Jihadists were killed without ever having to go to trial. That spared us of all the mental gymnastics the liberal media played while trying to turn him into a rock star with his boyish face on Rolling Stone and fan clubs of young girls.

    This monster should have taken out like Farook and his manly-looking wife Tashfeen were. It would saved us all the media nonsense that this bastard Tsarnaev has brought.

    • Atheist7 says

      Jan 29, 2016 at 4:16 pm

      Abdul, Not only media nonsense. Another way of Muhammad is to destroy the enemy economically. How many US dollars were lost:
      1. As a results of 911
      2. Increased airport security
      3. The Boston Marathon bombing trial

    His religion imams come from Sunni or Shia Never proved that his Allah is love, is god, peace, holy n creator of this mankind.

    He Never read the whole book of coran n hadiths at all. As more than 85% of his believers Never studied n Read the whole coran before but hearing imams preachings with curses of America, Germany, infidels n his own ppl.

    So sad to see him feel no remorse.
