Breaking: Tsarnaev Sentenced to Death

Massachusetts doesn't have the death penalty so the feds handled the case and tried the Rolling Stone Magazine cover boy, the Boston Marathon bomber. The sentence was delivered today at around 3:30 pm--death.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev didn't bat an eye, shed a tear or say a word. He stood there as the sentence was read, hands clasped in front, head down and scratching something in his hair as he faced the jury.

He will receive a painless injection that will put him gently to sleep for eternity--a hell of a lot less painful than the pain he inflicted on those who lost limbs, families who lost loved ones, and the four people who lost their lives. 


The jury reached their decision after 14 hours of deliberation and found his role in the bombing "heinous, cruel and depraved." The scumbucket placed his pressure cooker bomb next to an 8-year-old child. They agreed that he committed an act of terrorism that was premeditated and planned.

The execution will probably take years before it's carried out. Oklahoma bomber, Timothy McVeigh spent four years on death row before he was put down in 2001. Tsarnaev will be joining him, hopefully in the near future.

It may take longer for this human waste product to receive his reward since the average length of time is somewhere around 15 years, but there is a chance that he will go sooner. He was convicted on all 30 federal charges, 17 of which are death penalty eligible. In all, 3 people were killed and 260 seriously injured at the Marathon site, and a police office, Sean Collier, was killed days later. 

Attorney General, Loretta Lynch said in a statement:

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev coldly and callously perpetrated a terrorist attack that injured hundreds of Americans and ultimately took the lives of three individuals: Krystle Marie Campbell, a 29-year-old native of Medford; Lingzi Lu, a 23-year-old Boston University graduate student from China; and Martin Richard, an 8-year-old boy from Dorchester who was watching the marathon with his family just a few feet from the second bomb. In the aftermath of the attack, Tsarnaev and his brother murdered Sean Collier, a 27-year-old patrol officer on the MIT campus, extinguishing a life dedicated to family and service.

We know all too well that no verdict can heal the souls of those who lost loved ones, nor the minds and bodies of those who suffered life-changing injuries from this cowardly attack. But the ultimate penalty is a fitting punishment for this horrific crime and we hope that the completion of this prosecution will bring some measure of closure to the victims and their families. We thank the jurors for their service, the people of Boston for their vigilance, resilience and support and the law enforcement community in Boston and throughout the country for their important work.

This is not the end of Islamic terrorism, they are at war with us and our ways, but at least this gives closure to one piece of it. 

We cannot allow Islamic terrorism to make us into cowards. We need to express ourselves bravely and not let those who try to intimidate us into staying silent win. We can say what we want, draw whatever we want about anything we want--in a free society. 

There are no "but[s]" to the First Amendment, in spite of what progressives would like us to believe.
