Dzhokar Tsarnaev, part 2:
Here's a question:
Had Rolling Stone held off on that cover pic of Dzhokar &
instead maybe used the police pic of him bloody & wounded, would he be any
less popular in a certain set? Any less the rock star? Get any less mail/email?
I suspect not.
Those who want to cuddle him would have wanted to all the
more, seeing him in pain, seeing him wounded.
Bigger question:
Why can't people hold 2 discordant ideas in their minds at
the same time?
(I think the true neurological limit is more like plus or
minus 8.)
Re Dzhokar:
He was cute
& a monster
He looked good
& was a killer
He was hot
& may he be punished to the full extent of the law
He was sweet
& such a sociopath
WMDs?
We invaded Iraq due to the alleged super-abundance of WMDs.
None were to be found in Iraq, that fractured country.
Now they reappear, in the form of undeniably murderous home-made

Lol.
I mean no offense to those injured or to the memory of those
killed in that attack.
On the contrary, I hope the charge against Dzhokar Tsarnaev
of having been involved in WMDs does not compromise or complicate any of the
real charges to be made against him.
Let it be said, that prosecutors seem to get off on making
over-the-top charges.
They seem to crave surges, want to be General McChrystal or
General Petraeus, want to lead a War on Terror, not merely serve a circumscribed but
necessary legal function.
Re Zimmerman: No, neither murder nor manslaughter were remotely
provable beyond reasonable doubt.
Why, in the midst of all this anger about the verdict does hardly any one direct any disapproval
toward the prosecutor, Angela Corey, for pressing only charges that could not
stick, and overlooking those that might have — such as, perhaps — I’m no lawyer
— negligent homicide?
In all the talk about the Zimmerman trial, all the anger
aroused, all the chat and furor, few think to raise questions about the
prosecutor. One who does, is someone to whom I generally do not look for counsel
and instruction, and yet this time he has one or two things to say:
