I think it is the supermax in CO and that warden said it is worse than death. I wish that had been the sentence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2182239 Mon, 18 May 2015 18:51:19 +0000 psw27 2182239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: @yogirunner :heart: I have heard of the resiliency center, they are doing great things. Luckily my issues are emotional not physical but it's still hard as I'm sure you both know. I'm sure the trial has been draining for you both as well.

I was also at the finish line when it happened, and while I healed pretty quickly physically (very lucky to just suffer some hearing loss), the memory of that day is still very raw and real and frightening. I have been torn about the death penalty and honestly don't know if I could have made the decision. All I know is that when I heard the news, I was at peace.</p> <p>@PSW27: I'm with you on never getting answers, and the hope that his face and the headlines just fade away. I'm sorry you suffered because of him... sending you healing thoughts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2181971 Mon, 18 May 2015 14:32:44 +0000 psw27 2181971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at the finish line and I have suffered in a fairly significant way over the last 2 years because of his actions. I was surprised at the verdict, but I think the jurors saw images and pictures that will horrify them for the rest of their lives.</p> <p>I know that regardless of the sentence, we will never have the answers that so many people affected want. I don't think 100 years in prison would provide me with all of the answers I need. </p> <p>My biggest hope is that he fades into obscurity. I'm so sick of seeing his face and hearing about what a nice, normal guy he once was. People change, sometimes for the worse. If he actually is repentant, then perhaps he will do us all a favor and not appeal his sentence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2181926 Mon, 18 May 2015 13:56:33 +0000 littlebug 2181926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I could find the story, but there was a story floating around while waiting for the jury's decision from a guy who worked in the supermax prison where Tsarnaev would have been sentenced to life. Prisoners spend 23 hours in solitary. A single 4x4-foot skylight is their only light. They get 1 hour of time in the yard, which is walled in, so they still only ever see the sky. The guard said it's a harrowing, miserable life, and most of the prisoners end up going insane - banging their heads against the walls, scraping their fingers raw. If they're educated, they can lose themselves in books, but most of them aren't educated enough to do that, so they just...rot. That seems a fitting end to Tsarnaev to me. </p> <p>Death row is long, expensive, and filled with appeals...it takes decades to finally put someone to death. It is cost-prohibitive. And each time he is up for an appeal, the families of the victims will have to relive it. We hear about Charles Manson every time he is up for appeal/parole, so I have no reason to believe we won't hear about Tsarnaev. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2181889 Mon, 18 May 2015 13:41:21 +0000 Cherrybee 2181889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: So perfectly put.

But I do hate that the appeals process will drag on and on and on, when we should be able to turn away and move on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2181722 Mon, 18 May 2015 11:30:29 +0000 rachiecakes 2181722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: call me naive, but I thought with a life sentence for such a young person, he would have years and years to speak about the questions surrounding it - who pulled the trigger on Sean Collier, what did his brother do/see while in Russia in 2011, details on the Waltham murders and Todashev - when you have all those years to yourself.<br /> now I'm afraid with a death sentence he'll spend whatever years he has fighting his appeal, ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2181711 Mon, 18 May 2015 11:16:02 +0000 jedeve 2181711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: "let us be better than that." This exactly.</p> <p>And I'm glad your brother is okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2181122 Sun, 17 May 2015 19:42:26 +0000 mrs. bird 2181122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: I don't see anything wrong with @jedeve: 's belief that life is sacred. Not my kid, but my brother was running, he was stopped just before crossing the finish line where his wife was waiting for him. They're both okay, but easily could have met a different outcome. This hits close to home for me, and I don't have religious doctrine that tells me I need to forgive him, but I, too, believe that human life is sacred, even when it's commited acts of evil. Shut him up, keep him from spreading his evil, protect humanity from his evil acts, but don't let him become the martyr he seeks to be, show him compassion he doesn't deserve, show him we are not the evil he thinks we are, let him be wrong, let us be better than that. </p> <p>I was beyond shocked that here in MA they found a group that would go for the death penalty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2180984 Sun, 17 May 2015 15:53:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2180984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I was actually really curious about this too. I don't have a formed opinion on death penalty; while I have a hard time believing it's in humans hands to choose when life ends - I also don't like the idea of free food/shelter on our dollar for the rest of his life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2180974 Sun, 17 May 2015 15:11:42 +0000 jedeve 2180974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: the death penalty is more expensive. Also many victim's families oppose the death penalty because they don't want to be dragged through appeal after appeal. </p> <p>@NovBaby1112: yes, it's one of the central tenets of my religion. It's not always an easy belief, because of situations like this. Yes, I believe some people are scum, but I don't believe it's for me to decide who lives and who dies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2180945 Sun, 17 May 2015 14:22:15 +0000 Foodnerd81 2180945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I primarily thought of the victims families too. At least one of them was against the death penalty for the sake of having closure, since the appeals process with be so long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2180936 Sun, 17 May 2015 14:10:59 +0000 Chaosmaven 2180936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Death penalty, in many cases, has been found to be more expensive due to the costs associated with the appeals process. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2180931 Sun, 17 May 2015 14:07:51 +0000 looch 2180931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just out of curiosity, and I mean this in all seriousness, which is more costly, life in prison or death by lethal injection?</p> <p>I often wonder about the victim's family and the effect of their sentencing on them. Is it them we want to punish? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2180869 Sun, 17 May 2015 12:11:26 +0000 NovBaby1112 2180869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm fine with it, some people on this earth that commit horrific and brutal crimes just don't deserve to live. Life in prison is no fun at all, but I think it's worse sitting on death row knowing someday in the near-ish future you are going to die. </p> <p>@jedeve: all life is sacred, really?? Someone who kills children and innocent lives? Their life is sacred? Sorry...just no. I highly doubt you would be singing that tune if someone killed your child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2180858 Sun, 17 May 2015 11:51:21 +0000 erinpye 2180858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am against the death penalty. It makes no sense to me to kill someone, for killing someone. With terrorists, eye for an eye thinking vindicates their feelings, and like a hydra, more will pop up because of this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2180832 Sun, 17 May 2015 10:35:40 +0000 jedeve 2180832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe all life is sacred and strongly oppose the death penalty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2180749 Sun, 17 May 2015 07:34:16 +0000 MrsBrewer 2180749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I support the decision fully. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2180686 Sat, 16 May 2015 23:38:25 +0000 SupernovaJ 2180686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i struggle with it mainly because of my faith. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2180652 Sat, 16 May 2015 21:17:20 +0000 MenagerieMama 2180652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artsyfartsy: agree completely, well said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2180640 Sat, 16 May 2015 20:51:50 +0000 daniellemybelle 2180640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: As @Mrs. Jacks said it just makes him a martyr. Terrorists are not afraid to die for the cause. </p> <p>I am against capital punishment. I also feel that life in prison with no chance for appeal would have been more closure for the families - and a worse punishment for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2180637 Sat, 16 May 2015 20:46:15 +0000 rachiecakes 2180637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artsyfartsy: I love that quote.</p> <p>I actually did cry listening to the sentencing and I'm someone who's currently/continually in therapy as a result of his actions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-sentenced-to-death/page/2#post-2180636 Sat, 16 May 2015 20:42:24 +0000 artsyfartsy 2180636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think anyone should have the authority to take a human life.

This is one. </p>
