Any doubt the feds will go for the death penalty? Like McVeigh?

[Logical]

I think public pressure will force them to ask for the death penalty.

I am 100% against it. But many are not.

1. no doubt. zero. bank it.

2. His life is over anyway. Sick bastard.

3. There's always Gitmo

(unfortunately)

4. I've always been opposed and I'm certainly not going to change that now...

Though I'd have no problem if the threat of the DP were used as a bargaining chip to get him to talk--fully.

5. I'm Sure They Will - Though I Don't Support It

Anything less and there will be all the howling and crap about being soft on terror.

On Edit: Actually, I think life in prison with no parole would be a particularly worse hell to me than having it all ended by execution.

6. He could always plead guilty and go for life in Florence. n/t

7. Federal law violated?

McVeigh was executed because he killed federal workers.

[cthulu2016]

9. Post 9/11 there are federal laws against bombing people

"Terroristic acts"

And any bomb can count as a weapon of mass destruction in federal terror laws

[dballance]

10. Good Question. Maybe the IEDs will do it. Maybe Something in the Patriot Act. They'll Find One.

Rest assured, they will find some federal statute to apply.

8. An eye for an eye only leaves you blind.

I admit that I am 100% against the death penalty because it makes society no better then the criminal. At 19 years old, which to you really think is the harsher punishment - death or decades in a maximum level federal prison?

[DinahMoeHum]

11. Death penalty is not harsh enough for that fucker.

Screw public pressure. Go for life in a supermax with no parole.

[Ron Obvious]

12. Somehow I don't think so

I suspect he was heavily under the influence of his older brother.

[Warren Stupidity]

13. I hope not, but you are probably right.

It solves nothing, heals nobody, does not close anything, and diminishes us as a people.
