More than 2 years ago, the usually fun Boston Marathon made headlines not because of the runners who made it to the finish line, but the casualties which was brought by the bombing. To date, what are the recent updates about the case, about the perpetrator and the families of the victims? One of the bombers, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, has already received a death penalty. If you can remember, the bombing has killed 3 persons and hundreds were hurt during the ungrateful incident.
For some people, the verdict strongly implies that US is evidently anti-terrorism and that they do not tolerate such wrongdoings. But experts believe that even with the death penalty of the young bomber, terrorists will not stop.
If you must know, Tsarnaev already made the covers of Rolling Stone. This started a heated debate. It gained him young fans which believed that he is not guilty. But with the death penalty, we are sure to hear more from his supporters once again. There are also speculations that the fans will start an online petition to free Tsarnaev.
Meanwhile, those who believe that Tsarnaev should be punished was disappointed that a death penalty was given. Most of them think that life imprisonment is a better option for him to suffer the consequences of his actions for the rest of his life. What do you think about the verdict? Should he receive death penalty or life imprisonment?
After receiving the news that her son is given a death penalty, the mother of the infamous bomber sent a message stating that US will eventually burn. As a mother, many people understand her remorse over the decision. However, many innocent people got hurt because of her son's actions.
What do you think about the Boston Marathon bombing case? Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev receive a different verdict, or death penalty is the best decision? Do you think his mom has a point? Let us know your thoughts.
