Default The Boston bombers

I'm grimly amused that the younger brother is blaming everything on his older (and deceased) brother.

"Throwing him under the bus."

Which is something I think he is okay doing, since he allegedly did that very thing to kill his own brother. He ran him over with his car as he escaped.

There's going to be a big movement to "save" this kid. Too cute. Too young. Hair too wavy. Has nice friends. Has hung out with liberal NPR families. Brainwashed. Not his fault. Government conspiracy. Don't we care about redemption anymore? Isn't forgiveness an American value?

Choices matter.

In the end, he will imprisoned for life or possibly receive the death sentence. It is posturing but those sentiments being expressed should be expected.

Quote:
. By depicting a terrorist as sweet and handsome rather than ugly and terrifying, Rolling Stone has subverted our expectations and hinted at a larger truth. The cover presents a stark contrast with our usual image of terrorists. It asks, “What did we expect to see in Tsarnaev? What did we hope to see?” The answer, most likely, is a monster, a brutish dolt with outward manifestations of evil. What we get instead, however, is the most alarming sight of all: a boy who looks like someone we might know.
