Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Gets Death Penalty In Boston Marathon Bombing

mpicpp writes with a link to the New York Times's version of story that a Boston jury earlier today returned a verdict of death in the Boston Marathon bombing. From that report: A federal jury on Friday condemned Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a failed college student, 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.

Fuck it. If you're going to kill someone. It should be in the most obscenely horrific and painful way you can possibly think of.

Death by giant mechanical grinder.

Death by giant belt sander.

Or go old school. Vlad Tepes had it right. Sit them on a spear. And let go.

You want to deter people from doing things that'd get them the death penalty?

Make the death penalty something nobody in their right mind could think about without shitting themselves in fear.
