He probably thinks he will descend upon heaven for dying as a martyr.
A lifetime in a max security prison from 21 years of age would have been the ultimate punishment imvho.

I agree. And I wonder if there is now going to be a bunch of appeals that will drag on for 15 years and cost a bunch of taxpayer money in the meantime.

I agree.


I don't see how giving him the death penalty is going to bring justice to the families because killing this 21 year old boy is not going to bring any of the victims back.

I think the only reason why they gave him the death penalty was because they felt he should have "shown" more remorse but imo just because his remorse might not have been as visible in court does not mean he was not remorseful about what he did.


However, having this attractive boy live the rest of his life in a cell causes more emotional and psychological damage versus giving him a slow painless death. What is the message that we are trying to send? What is the lesson that needs to be learned? It also would have given him more time to reflect more on what he did and how he ended up in his predicament in the first place.

He set off that bomb with pure evil ill intent. All for a "cause". I'm sure at the time he wished to kill a lot of innocent people, considering the circumstances.

F*ck him.

You wanna pull that **** here? You die as a result.

And Soul, what the hell with the "attractive boy" crap?

But life in prison is way worse.

But does that mean he deserves to die?

I definitely feel he should have some harsh consequence but I don't think a painless lethal injection is suffering.

I think he would have gotten the death penalty regardless. The case was so high profile, and public opinion was so blood thirsty, that I imagine that it would have been almost impossible to find a jury that didn't want to see him fry.
