My apologies for being unfamiliar with a criminal from over 30 years ago who supposedly hasn't been forgotten by the public eye. :rolleyes:

Pio's got old photos of every black panther taped on his bedroom ceiling. I draw no conclusions.

On the one hand he argues that the guy is still remembered, then gets all huffy because you don't have a clue who he is talking about.... Irony.

I'm opposed to the death penalty 99% of the time. I just don't think the State should be in the habit of killing people. This is one of those cases where the act was so heinous it might be the only suitable punishment. If the jury pronounces death I won't lose any sleep over it. The other case that springs to mind was the ****stain that killed Polly Klaus. I was against the death penalty until he opened his mouth at sentencing and started claiming she thanked him for "saving" her and that her father was molesting her. By the time he was done talking I was ready to throw the switch myself.

In general I'm pretty wary of the death penalty... In this case, what if he becomes an idol for terrorists who kidnap other Americans and demand his release for ransom? Let's not give them that opportunity.

The sooner the needle is in his arm the better.

I am for the death penalty in extreme cases, like this one. Another type of case would be anything involving torturing/sexual abuse/killing of children.

Just force him to live in Boston.

Trying to understand this comment. Are you saying a proper punishment for him would be to force him to live in the city where he was instrumental in a horrific crime and he'd be miserable because everyone would be against him and treat him like the piece of scum that he is? Or was that supposed to be a joke because you're not a fan of the city and having to live here is such a terrible thing and ha ha ha. Because if it's the latter, it's really in poor taste.

Not a fan? This is Kepler we're talking about. He loathes Boston.

Yeah, I get that. And I have no issue with that. And if this bombing happened in any other city and he said making the bomber live here as punishment, that would make more sense. It would still be a terrible thing to say, but would be a typical type of statement we've all come to know and love from him. But this? To me it almost implies the bombing couldn't have happened to a nicer city. And that's just way off the mark and more tasteless than usual.

Guys like him are why there should be a fast pass to the chamber to see the Hangman. He ain't repentant, no good reason for him to be breathing. Move him to head of the line and give the guys who might have a legit reason to appeal their cases that much of a break.

He may not be repentant now, but what if later he breaks down weeping wondering what he had done? Is he still salvageable?

He had his chances. Fook em! scumbags should not be allowed to breath the same air that the rest of us decent folks get too.

I cannot see him being HONESTLY repentant for at least another decade. Lots of changes happen in your 20s. However, the magnitude and detail of what he did...I do not want to wait and take the small chance he actually sees the light. F him.

Re: Marathon Killers Apprehended: the Aftermath

The mental torture of 23 hours a day of solitary confinement is a better punishment than death. The idiot wants death. I'd prefer not to give him the satisfaction.

Happy Patriots' Day, y'all.

Here's hoping for a totally routine Marathon today.

Desisa from Kenya won on the men's side, Rotich from Kenya won the women's side.

Dathan Ritzenhein was the best American man at 7th, Meb finished 9th. Desiree Linden was the highest-finishing American woman in 4th, Shalane Flanagan finished 9th.
