The Boston bomber and the death penalty
Dzhohkar Tsarnaev didn’t just blow up hundreds of people in Boston. He also revived support for the death penalty (at least for himself), with 70% of Americans polling in favor of it in his particular case. Republicans are most in … Continue reading →
“It started right there on the streets of Cambridge”
Ruslan Tsarni, the Tsarnaevs’ uncle, gives an interview: Unless the man is a consummate actor and dissembler, he seems to be just about the only member of the family who has some sort of conventional morality and sense of responsibility, … Continue reading →
