When you're white, it's not terrorism but a 'mental illness' ?

    Yes it is illuminating to see how many leftists who are traditionally and ardently against the death penalty suddenly sound like the average pro death penalty conservative whenever it is a White who's in the dock awaiting summary judgment. I recall a goodly number of them mysteriously becoming pro death advocates immediately after THEIR Mainstream Media decided that Brown skin-toned George Zimmerman was actually White and Barack Obama issued his race-baiting-agitating announcement of, "If I had a son he would look like Trayvon." Wow! Instantly so very many 'good' leftists became pro-death advocates, and all it required was a faux skin tone lightening.

    Now basing their value judgement in such matters almost exclusively on skin tone value as the primary criteria and then secondarily on whether or not the perpetrator is also a Christian might seem like cheesy leftwing values, but at least they ARE values. Just think that if such values left of center did not exist then so very many of them would have . . . no values at all.

    Yeah, because it's almost as if this is a political forum.

    Actually, most "liberals" (real folks, not the imaginary ones about whom some alienated folks obsess) are opposed to governments being allowed to kill people in cold blood. MOD EDIT - Rule 3

    Specifically, what progressive movement is advocating the death penalty for anyoneMOD EDIT - Rule 3? MOD EDIT - Rule 3.

    MOD EDIT - Rule 3

    "Many rightists proclaimed that the liberals in Boston got what they deserved when a bomb was detonated in their midst, and their opposition to Tsarnaev being issued a death sentence, including the grieving parents of one of his young victims, proves it."

    MOD EDIT - Rule 3

    Some deranged young men are susceptible to ideological extremism, whether based upon religion, race, or some other pretext, and they commit depraved acts against humanity.

    Why some, in their own ideological fervour, need to pretend that terrorists are sane or that the insane cannot be terrorists is inexplicable.
