Boston Bomber - Execute or let him rot?

If only. However, the real comfirmation is that of necessity. When choice is less than an option, what we kick off the plate goes to zero.

 

So long as the rope is made out of braded pig intestine and this fact is published. Solves multiple problems, he is dead, not a martyr and it is a deterrent. This should be the standard method of punishment for Islamic terrorist.

Edit / Add Cremate their remains in a pig skin bag.

 

The murderers are murdered, fine. But are the rapists then released, as they've since been punished? Same with molesters. I'm thinking more than a few would enjoy it.

 

As far as this guy, I think he should be cut, pushed over the edge of a ship somewhere off the coast of Australia, never to be seen again.

 

Fry him in bacon grass up to kneecaps.

 

Then some ragheads grab some Americans and want to barter for him. Kill him, sooner the better.

 

Grease ... Bacon grease. Stupid autocorrect.

 

Well shit, I was on the web looking for bacon grass for the front yard. You're such a buzzkill.

 

To the original question..... Both... Execute him then let his body be on display till it rots away.

 

Let the appeals begin. Only 15 more years to go.

 

I think I've changed my opinion of what should happen to him. Maybe death is too good for him. A 7x12 cell 23 hours a day with a 4" window that doesn't show the outside may be harder on him. One of the news anchors also pointed out that with life, he would just disappear never to be heard from again. Now, we (and the families) will have to hear about him from time to time.:down:

 

We are assuming he is going to survive before he gets to the chair/table/firing squad/Justin Beiber concert.

 

They'll probably put him in the the same place they kept McVeigh and the others like him - that super high max uber prison in Colorado, so yes, he'll survive. He'll have virtually no interaction with anyone but the guards who will escort him 2-1 the very few times he leaves his cell.



Edit: It's called the "ADX": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADX_Florence

 

I believe they said he was going to Terre Haute.

 

CNN had a write up on their web page within the last couple days. The thrust of the article was that it was worse than death - tiny cell, very limited contact with other humans...no view of the outside other than sky in the exercise cell.

Whoops...Mike may be right...they were describing the cell he would have gotten with a life sentence.

 

It'll be the same experience regardless. He'll be locked up 23+ hours per day, never interact with other prisoners, and all interactions with staff will be 3 to 1. His court appearances will likely be video. His lawyer visits will be non-contact. Then one day they'll stick a needle in him and he'll be no more (although I'd honestly expect his sentence to get commuted at some point).


I think I'd rather die than live that life for the next 60+ years. Can you imagine, waking up, going through the same exact routine, 22,000 days in a row?

 

Thats the misery I was talking about. Except he wouldn't have his appeals to look forward to. Sounds worse than death.

 

I'm with Dave.

Especially after reading this article.

Until he's executed, put him in a dark cell for 23 hours a day, feed him Spam for every meal and only let him out for 30 minutes daily at high noon so he has NO idea what direction is East so he cannot properly pray.

Execute him by covering him in pigs blood and feeding him to the pigs like Mr. Woo did in the HBO series Deadwood. Let the dirty animal be consumed by another dirty animal.
