BOSTON - A man who became a symbol of the Boston Marathon bombing when he was wheeled away, ashen-faced, his legs severely injured, testified Thursday that he locked eyes with one of the bombers shortly before the explosives went off. "He was alone. He wasn't watching the race," said Jeff Bauman, who walked slowly into court on two prosthetic legs.

Jokhar Tsarnayev should be sentenced to be placed in stocks , in an open common area in Boston , and simply left there , until his rotting corpse is removed and thrown to a herd of pigs .

I was an EMT for more than 20 years and never saw injuries as horrific as these. Even a fatality car accident with a following fire and a small girl mauled by a cougar pale in comparison to these photos.

That these brothers deliberately inflicted this carnage and death and thought it to be an act of religious piety sickens me. This POS deserves the death penalty. Sadly his execution may be a decade or more away. He will be executed humanely...just put to sleep. Yet bleeding hearts will be lamenting whether he felt any pain or suffering when he was executed. Far more fitting would be a public hanging on Boston Commons.

The Marathon passes about 150 feet from my front door and it's a tradition for the neighborhood to line the street on Marathon Day...at least when it's a nice day (which isn't always the case).Last year I saw the National Guardsmen who police the event packing sidearms.I approached a Staff Sergent and asked him what the story was.He said “orders” and that it was the first time the Guard had been armed for that assignment.

This is Boson we're talking about,not San Antonio.Don't be surprised if he doesn't get the DP.Having lived here all my life I'm willing to bet he doesn't.

Or that he has a tragic fall from the 5h Tier of his cell block.

his defense is a hail marry “I only drove the getaway car at the bank robbery”.

problem 1: he is over 18
problem 2: he planted a pot next to children on purpose
problem 3: if one participant does a bad thing all are equally responsible under the law.

Yes,they are.But we *both* know *exactly* what they'd say..."life in prison,thinking every day about the suffering he caused,would be *much* tougher on him than the DP".

How does a guy get both of his legs blown off below the knees and not bleed out and die in a matter of three or four minutes? Seems impossible. I have never even heard of such a horrific injury where they didn’t die of blood loss or at least pass out. I think I’ve seen a photo of this same guy riding in a wheelchair fully conscious. I bet he wasn’t even treated by EMT’s or any medical personell for 5-10 minutes, and probably didn’t make it to a hospital before at least 15, right? Miracle?

In one picture you can see the guy in the cowboy hat that was helping to carry him pinching the femoral artery off with his fingers.

The heat of bomb blasts cauterizes a lot of the flesh, arteries too.
