Good. Nothing to cheer for. But good.

[NAB]

Pretty much as expected.

[jimmyz]

Why can't we "cheer" for this man's killing at the hands of the US government? It's justice IMO. He laid the bomb at the feet of an innocent family with a young child watching a foot race.

[spacemonkey]

He was guilty before the expensive judicial fiasco even started. A mob, rope and tree limb would save taxpayers a lot.

I'm also pleased that that bitch mother of his has a new sorrow to endure. Schadenfreude all over me like a warm jacket on a brisk day.
