MSNBC's Wagner: Tsarnaev Middle Finger Was Just Him Being A 19-year Old
Truth Revolt ^ | 4/23/15 | Caleb Howe

Posted on 04/23/2015 8:52:18 PM PDT by absentee

On Now with Alex Wagner today, the host and her guests were discussing the Boston bomber trial when they touched on the photograph that has been shocking and angering people around the world since it was revealed. Wagner notes that the photo was shown during the sentencing phase, and the panel discusses the relative fairness of the image as a true representation of the murderer.

"In arguing for the death penalty. prosecutors in the Boston marathon bombing trial on Tuesday used this image to argue that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was quote 'unconcerned, unrepentant, and unchanged'," says Wagner. "But surveillance video released by the defense just one day later provided more context. It shows the teen standing in his jail cell three months after the bombing fixing his hair, looking into the camera and flashing a V sign before making the brief offensive gesture."

Note the softening words: he's a teen, the gesture was brief, it needed more context. Wagner then turns to the panel and asks "this, Irin, is like one of the situations where context is everything, right?"

The OK fraternity guys weren’t any older, and all they did was sing a song, and this same media wanted their heads on a silver platter.

I suppose the bombs he placed at the marathon were just his being a 16 year old.

No, it is just arrogance, disrespect and thanklessness typical to his tribe.

I don’t necessarily disagree with her. What the heck does any 19 year old really know. Yes, he can never be out of prison for what he did and maybe he does deserve the death penalty. In 10 or 20 years he will wake up in prison and relalize how he threw his life away.

I may be wrong, I've been told that here more than once, but I don't remember normal American 19 year olds blowing up innocents in the name of a child rapist, that's the thing I have a problem with, not the flippin the bird thing.

If he was a “right-wing domestic terrorist”, I bet he wouldn’t say that

He killed 3 people and injured 264 other people with an Improvised Explosive Device. Boys will be boys I guess.

Maybe the little puke needs to have his legs ripped off. Another one, like Holmes, being overly babied by the “justice” system that completely disregards and disrespects the victims and makes sure the creep gets lots of TLC.

Why did the media devolve into an entity that makes excuses for scumbags? Or is it easier than actually working and performing real journalism? Have they been rendered impotent through inaction, or weren’t they taught how to do that in ‘journalism’ school? I know they attack the right relentlessly, but it’s not the same as old-school journalism of [many] decades past.
