Honestly, I didn't read the article just the excerpts neumdogg posted.

Dying guy who committed terrorism was denied a compassionate release while he was dying? Sounds like torture to me, especially since he served his original sentence.

Poor terrorist guy

From reading just a little bit… it seems his release date was scheduled for 2025.

The point is don't stoop to his level, even in principle.

It's why I'm against the death penalty regardless of the crime committed.

The fact that he even has a release date is more compassion than I can muster.

The DCCC raised $45.4 million in the first quarter of 2024. It's the DCCC's best quarter of the 2024 election cycle.

To compare, the NRCC raised just $12 million.

The DCCC has $71.1 million on hand. The NRCC has $45.2 million on hand.

Economy is so bad for Republicans they can't donate? Or Democrats have more enthusiasm to vote?

You choose.

So......going from the Jewish schools with all the lunatics threatening them to public schools with the daily fear of guns violence.

Being a parent in 'Merica must cause a loss of sleep.

Note to self: don't be a terrorist

I think I can successfully do this

That must be for an extension of his sentence. Or a new one. The quote neumdogg posted said he'd already served his original sentence.

Still, it's not as if the guy was actually going to be free without significant restrictions, and he was dying.

I don't think I could do it. There's the financial side of it that is just impossible at this point for me, but even if I was in a relationship and thought it was affordable to start a family, my environment would need to change. Living in a city is not fucking it.
Lots of statistically safe places around the country and obviously world.

definitely a good mantra
although it's probably not that simple...

I like the restrictions where he stayed in prison and died like the dog that he was after killing a 19 year old and abusing his corpse.

He died where he should have died.

How did Boston do this? Lib city. Makes no sense.

NATION'S LOWEST INCARCERATION RATE: The number of people in Massachusetts' prisons has nearly been cut in half in less than a decade. We asked how in our newest Wider Lens segment.

What's going on here? Harder to find a more lib state than Massachusetts.

For me the Daqqah thing falls very squarely into the "can see both sides and wouldn't care either way" category.

Would it bother me if he was released (assuming that "release" means largely being homebound and having access to loved ones while still under surveillance) given that he was dying? Probably not.

Does it bother me that he wasn't released? Also no, not even a little.

Yup! Fun little place we have here, America.

Is this not jury tampering?

https://x.com/AaronBlake/status/1780970065552113792

Fox News host Jesse Watters on Tuesday broadcast extensive biographical details about Juror No. 2 -- her neighborhood, occupation, education, marital and family status, and what industry her fiance works in.

He concluded by saying, "I'm not so sure about Juror No. 2."

He claimed last night that "undercover liberal activists" are trying to get on the jury -- comments Trump promoted.

That juror has now asked to be excused, saying people had asked her if she was a juror.

To be clear though, he was not given the death penalty or put to death.

Only if you believe the Jewish prison space laser didn’t give him cancer.

RIP Dickey Betts. One of my favorite musicians/songwriters of all time.


Bummer.
