NYC terrorist was happy as he asked to hang ISIS flag in his hospital room. He killed 8 people, badly injured 12. SHOULD GET DEATH PENALTY!

[renegade000]

1. then he shouldn't go to GITMO...

Let a jury in a federal civilian court decide that...

[ghostsinthemachine]

2. I'm at a loss for words..

[spooky3]

3. Donald is going to send the driver a nice muffin basket

For providing a distraction at just the right time.

[Xipe Totec]

4. We should change the law to make stupidity a capitol crime

And no, that's not a typo.

[maryellen99]

5. Where was the anger over the Vegas shooter

Oh that’s right he was in all likelihood a trump supporter.

[RandySF]

6. He just fucked up the entire case.

[highplainsdem]

8. He really doesn't care. He's playing to his base again, and the deplorables love it.

[OliverQ]

11. Yup,people saying his comments can taint the entire jury pool and force a mistrial.

Trump's own stupidity could lead to this terrorist walking free.

7. Sounds like a good defense to me.

He should ask that his trial be moved to Antarctica!

Much akin to "lock her up".

[Takket]

9. why give him the satisfaction of thinking he's getting 72 virgins?

let him rot in a cell for the next 50 years or so.

23. +1000s

n/t

[spanone]

10. he's so 'presidential'

this isn't a president...

he's a fucking maniac

[Kablooie]

26. To his base this is presidential

They think the president should be a total dictator.
That's who they want

[Calculating]

12. To be fair

Is he wrong? I wholeheartedly agree in this case. I'm just sad that the cops didn't finish the pos off in the street. The pos killed innocent people in an intentional attack and he's openly happy about it

[RandySF]

13. The point is

A sharp defense attorney can use Trump’s tweets as basis for a mistrial.

[highplainsdem]

14. Exactly.

[SCantiGOP]

16. I dont care how many mistrials might occur

This fucker will never, ever get out of jail.
See how happy he is when that sinks in.

[SCantiGOP]

15. You dont kill people

To show that it is wrong to kill people.

Especially not in this case. He is convinced he goes to heaven as soon as he dies, but he can’t suicide. Let him sit in a cell for the decades he has left.

[exboyfil]

17. He is the President

He is not Cliff on the bar stool.

[uppityperson]

21. You want to kill someone to show killing is bad? Or for revenge?

[exboyfil]

18. Want to see how a real President responds to this type of tragedy

President Clinton on Oklahoma City bombing.

[ProudLib72]

19. I went to his twitter

the bots are super busy churning out anti-Islam crap. Playing right into his base's mindset.

[Freethinker65]

20. Being judge, jury, and executioner is so easy for Trump on social media.

[highplainsdem]

22. "Trump just gave Saipov the legal justification for decades of appeals. Amazing."

By putting his finger on the scale of justice,Trump just gave Saipov the legal justification for decades of appeals. Amazing.

I've posted Wilkie's CNBC article about this in LBN.

[Dorian Gray]

24. It's unbelievable

that our president is so stupid.

Bc of his big mouth, this could potentially happen.

Didn't he see what happened with Bergdahl?

[Not Ruth]

25. The death penalty is so wrong that it should be criminal to sentence it

[Laxman]

27. WWPD.....

what would Putin do? Yes this is problematic. I think the U.S. Attorney in charge of this case just started banging his head on his desk.

[GoCubsGo]

28. Is he projecting his fear that this will be his own fate?

After all, the punishment for for treason in this country is usually death.
