A poll today among Sportsman here in S.E. Pennsylvania resulted in the following suggestion for dealing with dead Boston Bomber No.1: Put his head on a stick and display it in Boston Common. Barbaric? Perhaps...Deterrent effect: Considerable. This is about where our emotions are running today.
Believe it or not, my mother, of all people expressed a very similar sentiment.
ReplyDeleteWhy waste the use of a good stick on a filthy muslim Chechen?
ReplyDeleteI am with you!!!
ReplyDeleteIt also KILLS me to think we questioned the older brother back in 2011 for potential links to extremist groups and didn't boot him out of our country right then and there....ugh! I guess I shouldn't get on my soapbox right now though, ha!
My friends who were at the finish line, and who ran the race, would be satisfied with a fair trial for the surviving suspect. Maybe I've been away from Philly too long, but I agree.
