Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Gets Death Penalty In Boston Marathon Bombing

Posted by timothy on from the what-say-ye? dept.

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.

    The Tsarnaev exemplifies how FUCKED UP the American government has become

    The Russian intelligence agency, - the FSB, - had given the American government the dossier of the Tsarnaevs, prior to the Boston Marathon bombing

    Along with the dossier, which includes an interview with a distant cousin living in Dagestan, another region in Russian, who said that Tamerlan had visited and sought an introduction to Islamic fighters, the Russian FSB had warned the Americans that the Tsarnaev are ticking time bombs

    But what the American government did? Nothing!

    That's right, not . a . mother - fucking . thing

    According to the FBI, which is being led by a bunch of moslem loving liberals, "the FBI investigated Tamerlan in 2011 for terrorist connections, but found he had none"

    Yep, the FBI "FOUND NO CONNECTION" even after the Russians had given them the dossier and the interview --- and what we got after that?

    THE . BOSTON . MARATHON . BOMBING

    That is how fucked up the government of the United States of America has become --- and we should thank the Liberals for such a _marvelous_ performance !
