I didn't feel sympathy for Tsarnaev because of his cute face. I felt sympathy because his case is under the jurisdiction of Carmen Ortiz, and from Aaron Swartz we know what happens to people who cross Carmen Ortiz.
- cookiecaper 13y ago>we know what happens to people who cross Carmen Ortiz. They get prosecuted, kill themselves in angst, and then are unjustifiably made into martyrs by the tech community?
- Decade 13y agoNo. From his friends' improvised performance art piece, "How Not to Destroy Evidence," I'm guessing that Dzokhar deserves to have the book thrown at him. It's just that it should be the book that's thrown at him. Legally. Ortiz has a history of trying to win at all costs, even if it would destroy the lives of harmless people. I don't really care about Dzokhar. I worry about the continual erosion of civil rights. Used to be that being an American citizen meant something. It meant having the rights guaranteed by the 5th and 6th Amendments to the Constitution. If the Bill of Rights does not apply to Dzokhar, then it doesn't apply to anybody.
