Boston in shock over Tsarnaev death penalty

15. Sorry,

I am not sure what your question is. How do I think we should respond?

Assuming that is your question, my answer is; he should be put in prison for life with the possibility of parole. Rehabilitation should be tried. He was 19 and under the influence of an older sibling that he admired and looked up to.

The human brain is not even fully mature until about 25 years of age. The possibility that rehabilitation is possible is great.

He should be punished severely. But those supermax (I don't think that's the right word but I can't recall what it is) are inhumane. It's torture plain and simple. And we claim we're better than that, condemning other countries for less.

If rehabilitation isn't possible, then he never gets parole. 30 or 40 years from now we have no idea what the world will be like.

I know I will catch shit for this. I won't respond to any. I believe strongly that a young mind can be changed as much as it can be manipulated by influences around them. And I will never advocate torture or the death penalty.
