I say this meme and thought, yeah let's take a deeper look at this story. The two parallel pretty well. If the difference is that we want to kill Muslims but not Christians who commit similar acts, what does that say about us? What does that say about us to the world? Does this drive a narrative that helps recruit young middle class Muslims to terror organizations? What do you think?
Yep that POS should be taking a dirt nap too. Of course there are double standards in the criminal courts as well as everyday life, but admitting that would be whining, so lets just ignore it.
It's definitely a double standard comparing it to today, but it also happened with a different generation. That generation that convicted Rudolph was more pro-life IMO and that is an area where Christians can relate to (not necessarily approve of) as a reason for his bombing. The Marathon bombers basically attacked because we are Americans. So basically if you compare the number of dead and injured with each and just use that comparison, yes, there is a double standard. However if you start to look at the reasons behind both of them, they are distinctly different. And for the record, I think Rudolph should have been executed as well.
Tsarnaev is "white" too, so the race-baiting attempt falls flat immediately. Timothy McVeigh was executed, and is routinely cited as a source of "white Christian terrorism", so your narrative suffers even more from that fact. But I suspected that some would have a tough time dealing with Tsarnaev getting the death penalty for his crimes. With his image, he's a rock star to some:
Yes, there are double standards, the courts treat people differently. Law enforcement can get away with all sorts of things that normal citizens would get a long prison sentence for, even if the law theoretically applies equally to both.
I am sorry you missed the point of my post. Perhaps you should see a doctor about your seeing things that aren't there.
How did I miss your point? You're trying to make the argument that white Christian terrorists are held to a different standard, yet I gave examples of how they faced the same fate as the "rock star" Tsarnaev that you are defending in this thread.
No I was asking if there is a double standard at play here. A bigger issue. But that is okay.....I don't want to have to make you think too hard.
