The Lying Nun

The defense has rested Monday in the Tsarnaev Boston Marathon bomber trial after anti-capital punishment opponent Sister Helen Prejean testified on his behalf. She stated that Tsarnaev is genuinely sorry about the victims he killed and severely wounded in his jihad. In all, 3 people were killed, among them a child, 260 were wounded and of those, 17 lost limbs.

She failed to refresh the jury's memory about how he "flipped off" the courtroom camera, but I suspect she's hoping they either didn't know this tidbit of information or simply forgot it.

I believe that Tsarnaev is not at all sorry for what he did, and I suspect Prejean is committing a bit of a venial sin, according to the way that the Catholic Church defines sins of that nature. It's possible that he told her he's sorry, but Prejean needs to read about Taqiyya in Islamic scripture.

 Now comes the punishment phase for the jihadist scumcrumpet. Will it be life in prison or death?

I believe that the death penalty should always be used with great caution, but it should be used in the Dzhokhar Tsarnaev case. It should be used not to serve as a deterrent for other Muslim jihadists, but to serve as a deterrent for Tsarnaev. 

If capital punishment is properly administered DzhokharTsarnaev would never be able to inflict harm on any human being in the future. Dead jihadists don't blow infidels up or behead them anymore.

But Sister Helen Prejean does not agree with me and is totally against the death penalty in all cases. She has expressed sorrow for the victims Tsarnaev and his brother killed and maimed with their pressure cooker bomb, a device they set down next to a young child. She agrees that, "No one deserves to suffer like they did." 

I agree with her. No one deserves to suffer.

No one, including Tsarnaev, should have to suffer and spend their entire life in a small prison cell watching their youth fester and rot away. All of Dzhokhar's plans, perhaps to make another appearance on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, or whatever, gone. The only thing he would have to look forward to is 3 Halal squares a day, a cot, and a glove-handled Qur'an, untouched by the dirty hands of us infidels.

 Executing him would ensure that he wouldn't suffer such a horrible, lonely fate. And if Prejean actually believes in the afterlife, she should believe that Tsarnaev will get what G_d has in store for him. Why make him suffer for so many years on earth?

Prejean said that she could hear "pain" in Tsarnaev's voice when she said he told her that he regretted what happened to the victims of his carnage. "I had every reason to think that he was taking it in and that he was genuinely sorry for what he did," Prejean testified.

Of course, she had every reason to think that he is sorry--it's what she wants to believe. It supports her agenda of opposing capital punishment--she even admitted that she is considered to be one of the leading death penalty opponents. 

So, like Al Sharpton, who sees everything negative that happens to blacks in this country in terms of racism, Prejean sees violent jihadists and other criminals as repentant, sorry for their actions, and thus, worthy of saving.

At trial, Dzhokhar's teachers painted him as a sweet, hardworking boy, who wept as he watched "The Lion King." 

Oh that poor, misunderstood jihadist boy. How can we do this to him?

His sweet mom

If Tsarnaev goes to prison for life, he would be going to Florence, Colorado in their special security unit of the Supermax prison. The warden of this prison, John Oliver, said that inmates there can earn a college degree, write a book and send and receive unlimited number of letters.

Prison privileges would include 30 minutes of phone calls per month, at least 10 hours of recreation per week [where he can learn to use a pressure cooker for peaceful purposes, perhaps]. 

Oliver's testimony was to show that life for Dzhokhar would be less than harsh if spared execution. I still believe that life in prison would be too harsh and that death would be the most merciful thing to do for this young Muslim man.
