[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel bad for Dzhokhar too.  I live in Massachusetts and have been going through every emotion since the bombings.  What happened was a cruel and senseless act that has permanently changed hundreds of lives.  Maybe if I knew someone who was directly affected by the bombings I would feel differently towards Dzhokhar.  When I see his picture, he looks like a little baby-faced kid.  Hearing stories about him from friends and people that knew him, you would never think they were talking about the person responsible for the bomings.  What he did was wrong and he should/will be punished for it, but knowing what his life will be like if he doesn't get the death penalty is sad.  At 19, you aren't thinking clearly about your actions.  We all do stupid things as teenagers and looking back wonder why we did it and wonder how we may still be alive.  I'm not saying he didn't know what he was doing, but I don't think he really thought of what the consequences would be.  I feel horrible for his family and friends.  They lost two people they love, no matter if is a killer, they did not know that person.  I just hope Dzhokhar receives a fair trial and he can somehow live with what he has done.  I am only human, so it is natural to have caring emotions.  I know I don't like to see people suffer, no matter what they have done.  People should be punished for what they do but I don't agree with the 'eye for an eye' response. [/quote]

Extremely well said. Thank you for being a caring human being. I too feel sympathy for Dzhokhar. I think he will get a life sentence, rather than the death penalty, because he was coerced by his brother. I hope he finds peace in penance and enlightenment.[/quote]
