Now that Tsarnaev has been sentenced to Death, could you "flip the switch" ?

No.

But, then again, I cannot even pull teeth. #worstdadever

Couldn't and wouldn't. Lives aren't ours to take and people who seem eager to scare me

From my perspective,

if I would have been legally justified in shooting POS in order to prevent his mass murder and maiming, then I have no problem being a year late.

No, I could not kill someone who has done nothing to me personally.

I doubt that I could kill someone in self-defense.

For me being a runner has nothing to do with it, he did nothing to me personally, nor to anyone that I personally know. I have no connections to the city of Boston so that further removes me from having a strong connection to the crime.

Why would I want him to be dead, that does nothing for me or for the victims of his crime.

Just face it, the death penalty does not solve anything.

Whoever administers the lethal injection may not be a murderer but they are still a killer.

Nope. I don't think anyone should have the right to kill someone, not even the state. It's barbaric.

sure why not sign me up

Just wanna be clear here:

Psycho starts shooting every single person you love in front of you.

You have a loaded shotgun pointed at psycho.

You just. . . sit there?

Scum Bag Tsarnaev should be dispensed with "Kim Jong Un" style.

genuinely curious as 2 answers wrote:

Genuinely curious what people will say. Maybe the "benevolent dictators," could leave this thread up, this time.

I think the assumption is that most "runners" here would say "yes," but I think there are also anti death penalty, Christians, or others here, who can provide interesting commentary...

What say you?

Yes. I have in the past served as a witness to judicial executions and they were very solemn, serious events. I still remember it quite well. No one celebrated the proceedings, but it was handled swiftly and in a dignified manner.

I just took another look at the photos of what this person did [note: very graphic]...

Don't forget the cop he murdered in cold blood.

Yeah, sign me up.

If you are compassionate, you would flip the switch.

The alternative is waking up every day in a prison cell, regretting who he is, thinking about what he cannot undo.

If you want to save him from this misery, flip that switch...

It should be noted that there are many stories of how hardened career killers struggle and cry like babies before they are executed.

If the guy gets to eat food and eat until he dies then that is lame.

He just made a gesture like he had two guns in his belt after the verdict was read . . . you think he feels bad?

Corrected

^this

And I would happily pull the trigger of the anti-aircraft gun.

Obviously don't condone what he did, but the death penalty is against my core values and beliefs.

So is abortion.

I'm not religious, BTW, in case that's a pertinent variable in your data analysis.

Note that there is a huge difference and that it is not a matter of being a year late. It IS a matter of being able to prevent "mass murder and maiming" - This would have been possible prior to the act. Killing him now does not save any lives.
