I just find it funny, that they haven't sentenced a single jihadist to death, but they couldn't execute McVeigh fast enough.

Why do you supposed they aren't as eager to gas the jihadists??

No martyrs.

What does his Miranda rights have to do with you hoping that he did not "lawyer up" as if the police had any choice in the matter?

Because, until he's mirandized and charged, they don't have to let him see a lawyer.

The state DA just said, on FNC that he HAS NOT been mirandized and cites the "public safety exception" and spouted off some Federal terrorist statutes. So, there!

I see... so you are in the wonderful belief that our entire judicial system is one big racist conspiracy against the christian white man. Well that's just peachy. :lol:

How are you defining a jihadist and a terrorist?

They're already heroes, for pulling off the job. It won't make any difference. Surely you don't believe that they're going to hate us MORE if we execute these dudes?

Maybe gauntanamo and the military tribunal system screwed everything up in the system.

I actually have to explain to you why McVeigh isn't a jihadist? Or, are you just trying to stir a pot of ****?

By all means, do present your verifiable evidence that the police can question an arrested person for 24 hours before giving him his attorney.

What screwed everything up is the childish notion that the bad guys will hate us more than they do if we execute these people.

What jihadists are you specifically referring to, when you seem to say that jihadists are less likely to less likely to receive the death penalty than those who are not jihadists?

On the contrary, especially for Muslim reactionaries. It's 'Shahid', or "I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." Making him a martyr only serves to encourage others.

Hate us more? No.

In evidence, the public-safety rule is an exception to the Miranda rule. The public-safety exception allows into evidence an otherwise suppressible statement made by a defendant relating to information that the police needed at the time it was made in order to protect the public.

Jihadists are MUSLIM terrorists. McVeigh wasn't a Muslim.

I bet they'll attempt to try him as an enemy combatant. That'll be a hard slog.

I'm talking about all the Islamic terrorists that have been convicted since 9/11.

I am confused who he considers a jihadist and not a jihadist. Are people fighting a war jihadists? Are they just terrorists committing acts on American soil?

Timothy Macveigh was a terrorist.

He was also an Atheist and a Pothead

Macveigh was a Left Wing Terrorist just like Ayers, the Unibomber, and now the Left Wing Obama supporters that just detonated bombs at the Boston marathon

Obama started his political career in the living room of a known left wing terrorist
