How is that even remotely preferable to dying. For the first few thousand days, you'll be fine, sure, but what about when you're 10,000 days into your permanent sentence?
You adapt and find ways to entertain yourself. Like I said: reading, exercise, education, etc. It's not like he's going to be sitting in solitary confinement for the rest of his life.
That's implying that he'll get books to read, access to education, and any more exercise than the absolute bare minimum you need. Do you think that many people are going to be kind to the biggest terrorist since 9/11 and the biggest one in custody since the Oklahoma City bombing?

There is no evidence to suggest that the Death Penalty is an effective deterrent though.
Not to mention the astronomical costs the taxpayer has to bear the brunt of to try and get someone convicted for the death penalty. Bureaucracy isn't cheap funnily enough.
It's about punishment, not deterrent. I think Tsarnaev deserves to be executed for his participation in the bombing.
As for cost, while the trial for the death penalty is more expensive than a trial for life in prison, when you factor in the actual cost of incarcerating someone for life, it far exceeds that of the trial.
Regardless, justice shouldn't be meted out based on cost.
60 years of rotting in a small prison cell is worse than death.

But anyways, do you *really* think that Dzhokar will have free education, entertainment, and exercise other than the bare minimum? It doesn't mean that just because he gets life in prison, that he'll get access to all of those things. The US is gonna become a shitstorm if they give them any of those things.
Well yeah, of course. It depends on what prison he goes to, but he'll have access to the basics.
So what if he has access to the basics. 60 years of prison comes out to a total of around 22,000 days. 22,000 days of waking up, doing nothing all day, eating 1 or 2 meals a day, doing nothing some more, and then going back to sleep. How is that even remotely preferable to dying. For the first few thousand days, you'll be fine, sure, but what about when you're 10,000 days into your permanent sentence?

Recognition of his guilt, which he shows no signs of currently.
No, I meant what I said. FFS he's like 21 now. Explain to me how being locked in a maximum security prison for 50-60 years is lighter than being quickly and (close to) painlessly executed.
Regardless of all but the most extreme circumstances (Federal prison no being one of them), life is always preferable to death. I don't think living in prison is more of a punishment than death.
Then how come you have many inmates stuck in those situations either committing suicide or being placed on suicide watch? Clearly, the prisoners actually in that position think otherwise.
Okay, and there are people outside of prison that commit suicide, too. That doesn't mean death is better than life. Tsarnaev is more than welcome to kill himself in prison.

Regardless of all but the most extreme circumstances (Federal prison no being one of them), life is always preferable to death. I don't think living in prison is more of a punishment than death. He'll live relatively comfortably, he'll have access to free education, healthcare, reading, entertainment, food, and exercise. I'd rather not see the guy responsible for hundreds of ruined lives get that treatment.
Then how come you have many inmates stuck in those situations either committing suicide or being placed on suicide watch? Clearly, the prisoners actually in that position think otherwise. And do you really think that Dzhokar will actually have access to any of those things other than healthcare?

Life in prison with a plea of guilty, death penalty otherwise.
Why should he get the death penalty to begin with? And why should he get a lighter punishment for not pleading guilty?

Okay. How is it then? If you don't want to see the gore/porn, then don't click on the spoiler. End of story.

I'm all for life in prison without parole. There's no reason to give him the quick and painless way out of his having to face his crimes. It'd be all sort of stupid to just kill him right there.

>implying I have any rights living in the communist reich of Europe
But in all seriousness, I never had to do much flexing of my rights. Never met any police officer that was in any way trying to intimidate me or keep me down. All of them seemed like genuinely good cops and were extremely friendly to me.
Thanks for the info, Flee!! *takes Flee's statement into my fridge to gobble it all up later*

yeah, my 'parents' if I can even call them that can go fuck themselves. They disowned both me and my sister because she's lesbian, and I helped her out after my parents cut my sister and her girlfriend off leaving hem with about 10k worth of tuition left, and both of them without a home.
Oh god, that's disgusting. Shit like that should be illegal.

I wonder what will happen to the balance of power/religion over there if the Houthi's take full control and are recognised as such. There's just so many sects and ethnicities there that makes it very confusing and kinda hard to follow what's going on in the Middle East currently...hell, all the time tbh.
It always seems like this there:
The Houthis won't be recognized since the West are at war with them. It's very rare for an internationally recognized Government to be completely toppled and have the successor Government be internationally recognized in turn. Especially if that toppled Government is/was an ally of the West.

When you see a picture of yourself, do you see yourself, or just someone else?
Also no
Yeah, you're fucked in the head right now, LOL.

I think eventually they will
The first Mass Effect is the only one that really should be remastered. Mass Effect 2 and 3 still look great.
ME1's engine is so clunky though... It'd feel really weird if it were remastered.

So this is probably the most under reported country in the whole Greater Middle East proxy war which has been starting up recently between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Green are Houthis, Red is what's left of the Yemeni Government, and Black is AQAP (al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula)
Just some basic background on it, there has been an insurgency going on in Yemen's North from the minority Shi'a Houthis going on for about the past 15 years. Since the Yemeni Revolution "concluded" in the start of 2012, the Houthis have been making steady gains in acquiring more territory.
Fast forward to 2015, and now you have have the Houthis with a solid 30% of the country's landmass (entirely in the West), and the vast majority of the country's population (probably 85% or more). This leave the other 70% of the territory and 10% of the population split between the remnants of Yemen's Central Government and al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
What makes this conflict so significant regionally is that the Houthis are being backed directly by Iran, and Saudi Arabia has already launched open military intervention on the side of the Yemeni Government. This marks the first direct military conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran (though they are only Iran's proxies), while they previously only fought eachother through proxies on both sides.
It's pretty much inevitable that the Houthis are going to take the entire country, since they're kind of rolling all over the Yemeni Government and AQAP....
So discuss Yemen, and if you think you have anything to contribute, go ahead and put it in.
