Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

The appeals process should be kept by people who have a reasonable doubt to their crimeWho determines what standard of reasonable is used? This guy was seen, videod and admitted in court that he was involved in the murders and mutilation of many people and injury to over 260 people. You are repeating something I have already addressed. Video evidence has been wrong in the past, due to grainy footage or bad angles. Eye witnesses are wrong quite often. Admissions can be (and have been) coerced out of innocent individuals by the police. I am not claiming that he is innocent, because I really, truly do not believe he is. But our legal system is meant to protect the innocent first and foremost.He needs to die. He is a useless human being.He does not need to die. Killing him will do no good. I agree that he is useless, but putting him in a maximum security prison will save money (whether you believe it should or not is beside the point), keep him from committing any more crimes and remove him from the populace, all without setting a precedent that could harm innocent people. To make a point as to what will happen to the ones in the future who try this sort of thing,The death penalty has never been proven to act as a deterrent. he should be stuffed with pig entrails, wrapped in a pig's skin and cremated and thrown out where no one knows.That is just pathetic. You want to lower our justice system down so far that it would remove all semblance of legitimacy. You would have us act as petty children acting out revenge fantasies concocted by anti-Muslim bigots.

String him up high! If he thought it apt to take others lives then why is his so precious? Tit for tat I say. Let it be a warning to all Muslims who try and make an enemy of the civillized World.

Side: Life Sentence

Do you believe life is a precious thing?
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

Whether life is precious or not and how much so is relative to whose life it is. The life of a sick monster is worth nothing.

I was just wondering what you thought. Thanks for the reply.

Why don't you ask that to Dzhokar? he clearly doesn't so he needs to be treated with the same distain!
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

Why do you think that?
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

His view on life is very cheap that's why he did what he did, so in my view he should be treated with the same attitude!
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?

I believe you are trying to incite the discussion of Justice vs Revenge and what factors that determine the value of a life (specifically human).

I had something like that in my mind, but I really just like to hear people's opinions.

Side: Life Sentence

Tsarnaev's life isn't precious. He gave up that when he MURDERED innocent people and injured over 200 who will have to live with what he did the rest of their lives.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

Then you are insinuating that lives are not equal. If he didn't do it, but only planned to, would you judge him the same way? Do all lives start precious? How do we agree on who's life is more precious than someone else's? Is it right to view people's lives in that manner?
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

You honestly think executing him is going to be a "warning" that deters radical Muslims? More likely his death will be treated as a PR boon by extremists to radicalize more disillusioned people.

The solution to this problem is simple. Remove all Muslims from the Western world and we wont have to worry.

Islamaphobic extremism and Western isolationism - ah, yes, what a practical counter response.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

There is no such thing as islamophobia. A phobia is an irrational fear. Fear of Islam is rational. Typical left-wing Yogurt-Knitter. Hates religion apart from if the religion is almost entirely comprised of ethnic minorities.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

You know very well what I meant by the term "Islamaphobia" (targeted discrimination), but nice attempt at avoidance. Even if you think Islam is scary, discrimination against Muslims is hardly to going to make its adherents less prevalent or extreme.For the record I am categorically opposed to religion regardless of its ethnic demographics, but violently attacking religion or engaging in discriminatory practices has rarely created fewer adherents which was my original point.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

It's not the religion it's self that there afraid of but more the common actions made by the people because of the religion, Muslims haven't exactly given us a good reason to not be afraid. I mean I don't really think you see jews , and Christians flying airplanes into buildings and bombing a marathon to please a god do you?

http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/terrorism-2002-2005/terror02 05#terror05sumTry looking at the actual numbers. Islamic terrorism in the United States is a serious minority.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

Literally every religion of note has had radical extremists who have perpetrated acts of violence and/or terrorism against others, including both Judaism and Christianity. The simple fact that we distinguish these extremists as radicals underscores the reality that they are not representative of an average adherent.With respect to radical Christians: The KKK is Christian-centric organization recognized as a domestic terrorist organization and is responsible for countless documented acts of violence. The Army of God is a formally recognized Christian terrorist organization operating within the United States since the 1980s and is responsible for multiple terrorist attacks. Countless other individuals engaged in acts of violence and terrorism in the U.S. have done so in the name of the Christian faith (e.g. Scott Roeder, James Kopp, etc.). Anders Breivik killed 77 people in the name of Christianity and Islamaphobia in 2011 in Norway. The Lords Resistance Army responsible for multiple massacres and other acts of terrorism and violence is heavily influenced by Christianity as well. I could go on, but I suspect my point is clear.With respect to radical Judaism: The Jewish Defense League, Jewish Defenders, and Jewish Direct Action are three recognized terrorist organizations operating since the 1970s within the United States responsible for multiple bombings and religiously motivated terrorism. Where there are larger Jewish populations there is more notable Jewish extremism. For instance, Israel is/has been home to Gush Emunim Underground, Bat Ayin, Brit HaKanaim, and numerous other violent, extremist Judaic groups. I could go on, but again I suspect my point is clear.People are not afraid of Islam because it is predominantly violent and extreme. People are afraid of Islam because they are ignorant and too lazy to do some very basic research, preferring to swallow the alarmist nonsense of whatever mainstream media they are beholden to.

Side: Life Sentence

He shouldn't even have a trail in the first place he is terrorist, he should have been put to death a long time ago
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

If we do as you propose and begin to eradicate the founding principles of this nation (i.e. innocent until proven guilty), then radical Islamic terrorism will have succeeded in its larger objective. People like you have become so angry and afraid of terrorism that you are willing to throw away the legal system which secures our rights and liberties for an illusion of greater safety.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

So you believe that if someone is accused of being a terrorist, they do not deserve an actual trial?That is the definition of guilty before being proven innocent.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

No I do not he isn't an American citizen doesn't get that right and he isn't innocent we all know it so why are we wasting tax payers money on this coward's trail.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

First off, he is an American citizen. Just because someone is naturalized does not mean they are not a citizen.Second, "we all know" is not due process of law.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

I agree. He is an admitted multiple murderer. Why should he have an appeal? What are they appealing?
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

He should have an appeal because it is permitted to others within our legal justice system, and to introduce subjective variation into who can appeal and who cannot undermines the legitimacy of that system.I do not know what they are appealing but it is hardly surprising that they are doing so. It is unlikely that he will win upon appeal, but his attorneys are ethically required to exhaust all means at their disposal to provide the best possible defense to their client. This is how an adversarial system works, and while it does lead to some blatant inefficiency sometimes it is also what keeps prosecution accountable overall.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

The death penalty seems to suit his crime. If you don't use it in this case, you might as well abolish it. Unfortunately either way the jury goes, Tsarnaev will spend the next 10-20 years appealing their decision, must likely at taxpayer expense. But finally he will end.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

An eye for an eye is what I say! so death is what he has earned himself, and if I had my way he would die a very slow lonely death, no food or water alone in a sound proof cell, wasting away with only the thoughts of why did I do this!! anyone who chooses and plans to take another persons life has to pay the ultimate price for their actions, because not only do they take the persons life they effect anyone close to that person for the rest of their life, I know this because im having to suffer this myself!
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

An eye for an eye is what I say! An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Why should we lower ourselves to his level? If we decry these people for their atrocities, why commit atrocities in revenge?
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

Lowering ourselves has nothing to do with it! and taking his life is not an atrocity its justification for his action, in life there needs to be consequence for your action!! otherwise why have law?? To deal with extremist takes extreme measures, we all only have on life to live and to take someone's away with them is the worst thing you can do, so why should you not have yours taken away! it makes no sense to lock these people up for the rest of their lives!

Lowering ourselves has nothing to do with itLowering ourselves has everything to do with it.and taking his life is not an atrocity its justification for his actionKilling someone slowly and with deliberate malicious intent is most certainly an atrocity.in life there needs to be consequence for your action!The death penalty is not the only possible consequence. To deal with extremist takes extreme measuresWhy? That simply makes us extremists as well. it makes no sense to lock these people up for the rest of their lives!It makes perfect sense if you want to be better than those you are decrying.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

Lowering ourselves has nothing to do with itLowering ourselves has everything to do with it. explain?? because if we enforce the law are we lowering ourselves to criminal?? same thing isn't it?? and taking his life is not an atrocity its justification for his actionKilling someone slowly and with deliberate malicious intent is most certainly an atrocity.my point of view is extreme, but justified to me personally and not what he will receive!in life there needs to be consequence for your action!The death penalty is not the only possible consequence.No nut its the most appropriate for his actions! To deal with extremist takes extreme measuresWhy? That simply makes us extremists as well.yes it does but the old saying is you need to fight fire with fire sometimes, were seen as soft targets because of our soft stance and approach, extremist are beyond reason and convincing there brainwashed and prepared to strap bombs to themselves and kill innocent lives, you try stopping that with a conversation?  it makes no sense to lock these people up for the rest of their lives!It makes perfect sense if you want to be better than those you are decrying.I don't care about being better than them, im already there! im not the one going round planning on killing innocent people!so what's your form of justice then??
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

explain?? because if we enforce the law are we lowering ourselves to criminal?? same thing isn't it??Slowly and deliberately killing him would actually be unconstitutional and therefore the exact opposite of enforcing the law.and taking his life is not an atrocity its justification for his actionAgain, deliberately killing someone slowly in a way intended to cause suffering with malicious intent is an atrocity.No nut its the most appropriate for his actions!In your opinion. It is quite clear that I disagree. This is not an objective issue.es it does but the old saying is you need to fight fire with fire sometimesWhich simply makes the fire bigger. A silly saying.were seen as soft targets because of our soft stance and approachWhat do you mean by "soft targets" and where is your evidence that we are often seen as such?extremist are beyond reason and convincing there brainwashed and prepared to strap bombs to themselves and kill innocent lives, you try stopping that with a conversation?When did I say I wanted to try to stop it with a conversation?I don't care about being better than them, im already there!Not if you are in the process of slowly killing someone for no reason other than to satisfy your own desire for revenge. Well, maybe somewhat better than him, but not by as much as you think.so what's your form of justice then??I don't think legitimate justice can be obtained in these types of situations, even if you were to kill him or torture him to death. I think at that point all you can do is lock him up for life without parole in a maximum or super maximum (probably not necessary for him) prison and try to prevent future attacks.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

You keep referring to my method of killing him, that's not what awaits him? that's just my personal opinion, but I support them executing him how they choose to.If fighting fire with fire makes the fire bigger than shall we disband the British and US army's then??I served in the armed forces and the term soft target is the public, they can target our public with ease due to the infiltration they have, unlike a white man in Iraq who stands out like a sore thumb.You didn't say anything about stopping them with a conversation, but that's all you left with without force?Killing him for no reason there's one big reason?? and to satisfy me, it will satisfy far more than just me!! Justice can never be fully obtained because you cant bring the deceased back, but in my view you can send the perpetrator to where they belong 6ft under.

Side: Life Sentence

You keep referring to my method of killing him, that's not what awaits him? that's just my personal opinionAnd my responses were in regards to your personal opinion.If fighting fire with fire makes the fire bigger than shall we disband the British and US army's then??While the inner tree-hugging peacenik wants to sing kumbaya and laud that suggestion, of course not. We should, however, work on avoiding "fighting fire with fire" sorts of military tactics, which both military's tend to do already.I served in the armed forces and the term soft target is the public, they can target our public with ease due to the infiltration they have, unlike a white man in Iraq who stands out like a sore thumb.Then wouldn't the entirety of the Western world be a soft target?You didn't say anything about stopping them with a conversation, but that's all you left with without force?I never said we could not use any force, I simply took umbrage with the death penalty. That is not the only use of force out there.Justice can never be fully obtained because you cant bring the deceased back, but in my view you can send the perpetrator to where they belong 6ft under.But that doesn't bring justice. That doesn't make anything right. That is pure retributionism, and in my opinion, is counterproductive.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

The reason we have army's is to fight fire with fire because that action is what it takes sometimes, and yes the whole western world is a soft target mixed with hard targets which are government and military buildings.So your view is Counterproductive, this is my point about army's and fighting fire with fire, if its counterproductive then why have them??? going into Afghanistan was retribution do you disagree with that?
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

The reason we have army's is to fight fire with fireWe almost never combat an enemy's tactics with the same tactics, which would be fighting fire with fire. That's just not sound military strategy.this is my point about army's and fighting fire with fire, if its counterproductive then why have them??? going into Afghanistan was retribution do you disagree with that?Because there are very real and productive reasons to have armed forces. I agree that going into Afghanistan was more based on retribution than the stated justification (preemptive self defense), and it was also a very bad idea.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

We have special forces who fight wars we don't here about, and there tactics are purely fighting fire with fire, clandestine is the term as most of there action are deniable and secretive. so you agree we need to fight fire with fire sometimes??
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?

And how, in your opinion, are they "purely fighting fire with fire"?
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

there sole purpose is to be inserted behind enemy lines to attack terrorist targets that's fighting fire with fire?
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

How so? They are specifically targeting enemy combatants, something that most of the targets of special forces do not do. Now if the military was employing terrorism in order to combat terrorism, I would agree with you.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

your knowledge of special forces is clearly limited, and you don't employ a terrorist to fight a terrorist, you fight fire with fire, force with force, you don't bring a knife to a gun fight,
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

and you don't employ a terrorist to fight a terroristThat would be fighting fire with fire.you fight fire with fire, force with force,This conversation really is pointless. You are simply repeating the same antiquated phrase over and over without any sort of specific explanation that could lend any sort of tangible meaning to the disagreement.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

im having to repeat myself because its a simple point which doesn't require an in depth and detailed response, so ill say it one more time, we have army's, navy and air force, to fight fire with fire because that's what it take to resolved a situation sometimes, we humans have always been violent and will always be violent!
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

Again, you keep saying "fight fire with fire" without explaining what you mean by that. It is essentially meaningless with how vague it is being employed.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

WOW! how are you not getting this! fire with fire is the same as fighting force with force, guns against guns, knife against knife fist against fist, meeting violence with violence, if you want an example, riot police using batons and water guns to stop rioters throwing petrol bombs or stones at police, police using a Taser gun to stop a sword wilding maniac, a sniper taking out a suicide bomber in a car! how much do you need to understand this perspective???
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

So you have made that term so vague so as to encompass just about anything.
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Death Penalty

its very difficult to argue with stupidity!! and your a prime example! and if you think that's vague then wow your not worth debating with as you will never understand!
Debate: Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev get LIFE or DEATH?
Side: Life Sentence

How is "force with force" and "violence with violence" not vague? You claimed that a sniper shooting a suicide bomber is fighting fire with fire, which is nonsense. Fighting a sniper with a sniper would be fighting fire with fire, or a suicide bomber with a suicide bomber would be fighting fire with fire.But go ahead, employ personal insults. That will elevate your argument.
