#dzhokartsarnaev

Seems like the idea of being innocent until proven guilty no longer exists in this country. Where are the freedom and the rights that we grow up hearing about? I'm reading page after page and tweet after tweet of hate in response to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (Jahar). Comments like "rot in hell," and "Islamic terrorist," are very common responses. It absolutely sickens me.  This is a 19 year old boy who, just weeks before being arrested, was tweeting about his future course of study, hamburgers, TV shows and pretty much all the regular stuff a 19 year old guy would tweet about. Fast forward a few weeks, and he is arrested as a SUSPECT in a horrific bombing in Boston.  His brother is killed in the process of being arrested and the city has a hard time finding a place to bury him. There is such a ruckus raised by cemeteries refusing to accept his body for burial. When did we become savages in this country? We don't even bury our dead anymore? Bodies of Timothy McVeigh and even the Sandy Hook shooter who killed 20 innocent children, were accepted by cemeteries and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was only a SUSPECT at the time of death, didn't have a place to be buried? I did read today that someone came forth and finally laid the body to rest. Kudos to whoever stepped up and took charge. Seems the rest of the country had gone to savages meanwhile. Jahar is sitting in a prison cell where he is apparently in solitary confinement for 23 hours of the day. For five minutes, just imagine that he is innocent. Just do it. Look at what he has had to see and deal with in the past few weeks as a 19 year old kid. I GET that he is a suspect in a horrific case and I get that there is a trial up ahead but there is no need to crucify this kid over a crime that he has yet to be convicted of.  All the hate being spewed at his family and the name calling is unnecessary. People even hate on the people that support the idea that maybe Jahar is innocent. If you have a right to think that he is guilty, then you need to understand that other people can have the right to think that he is innocent and fight for that. Unless you witnessed firsthand that he placed that bag there which blew up then you can not go around saying he is absolutely guilty. In this country, from what I've learned all my life, you are innocent unless proven guilty without a reasonable doubt.  If you sit there and accuse this kid without proof, then you are going against the foundation of this country. Wake up America. CNN gave conflicting stories through the night as the whole fiasco with the Tsarnaev brothers' arrest was going on. I was up the whole night, glued to the TV, watching and continuing to be baffled by the constant contradictions in the news.  If you can honestly sit there and say that you know for a fact that this kid is guilty because you have some kind of 6th sense or proof, then share it. If your heart says he is guilty, that is fine. You are entitled to that. However, that does not give you the right to hate on those who believe he is innocent. Me? I don't think he did it. My heart says no and the lack of evidence strengthens that conviction. Jahar didn't do this and I pray that justice is served and this kid gets his life back. For the record, I'm no "fangirl." There are people that are following this case and actually believe in his innocence. 

I'm astonished to read that various cemeteries are refusing to accept Tamerlan Tsarnaev's body. Yes, I get the sentiment that people may be apprehensive about being buried next to a SUSPECTED terrorist but I didn't see all this animosity toward a dead body when Adam Lanza was being buried, despite having killed 20 children. Nor did anyone raise such a fuss when terrorists such as Timothy McVeigh, who killed far more people, were being buried. The Boston Strangler, who killed and raped many in the 60's was stabbed in prison and then given a proper burial in Massachusetts. Why was there no brouhaha raised over these burials? Why were cemeteries ready to accept their bodies?  Protesters have staked out the funeral home in Worcester where Tamerlan's body lies, some carrying signs that say things like, "bury this terrorist on US soil and we will unbury him." I read one status on Facebook saying "let's come up with creative ideas? We should put his body through a wood chipper..." Outrageous. Where has human decency gone? No matter what torture one may want to inflict on his body, do people not understand that it is merely a body? It will do him no harm. You will only look like an idiot sitting there trying to punish a body!  I'm Muslim. My faith teaches me that everyone deserves a proper burial. I keep reading that there has been no precedent like this in history where cemeteries are all refusing to accept a body for burial. Hmm. This despite the fact that there are many known CONVICTED terrorists buried in American soil as we speak and Tamerlan has only been SUSPECTED! The only difference...Tamerlan was Muslim.  Oh America. You disappoint me. 

I am very happy that we caught that little shit. However, I am turbo concerned. Is this the beginning of the "social" terrorist? Consider how famous these fucks are now because of their actions? Prior to social, a murderer and his actions could be squelched. How many did they inspire and how can we argue against the next "terrorist" becoming just as "internet" famous?!?
