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.

I've always felt that the death penalty is far preferable to a life in a cage. To me the cruelest thing they could do is stick him in a cell with a 300 pound faggot named Bubba and let them play house for the rest of his miserable life.

let's use the ultimate punishment...

Make him use nothing but Windows 8 for the rest of his life.

This is slashdot - the correct question is "Does he blend?"
