    Would The Terrorists Behind The 1993 World Trade Center Bombing Been Executed Had They Gotten The Federal Death Penalty?

    So as you know the Trump Administration has restarted the federal death penalty.

    Now here’s a quick question:

    There were 8 terrorists involved in the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing.

    One fled back to the Middle East like a pansy and the other seven are doing life without parole on Bomber’s Row in ADX Florence.

    Here’s the question: Had they gotten the federal death penalty for terrorism, do you think Attorney General Barr would have zeroed in on them instead of the child killers?

    Cause as we know, if there’s one thing the Trump Administration hates, it’s Scumbag Terrorists

    Ramzi Yousef who bombed the World Trade Center in 1993 using a truck killed six people in that attack. Yousef was in an al-Qaeda terror training camp using bomb making materials and having bomb making manual. Yousef was greeted by Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan throughout 1991-1992 after Ramzi was in a university in Swansea, Wales, UK. After the 1993 truck bombing in New York City, Yousef descended into Asia where he met a childhood friend. That time, he would assemble a bomb that would be used to orchestrate a terrorist attack on Philippine Airlines 434 in December 1994.

    I don't believe the government would execute members of an active terrorist organization. Retaliation would obviously occur in a case like that.

    "There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche

    Timothy McVeigh who used the exact same orthodox route for a terrorist attack, used a Ryder truck full of explosives. McVeigh was a veteran of the Gulf War which resulted in his hatred that led to Waco in Texas at a gun show were 86 people were killed and the truck bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building that killed 168 in Oklahoma City in 1995.

    McVeigh was given a federal death sentence for the Oklahoma City truck bombing in 1997. McVeigh was executed by lethal injection in June 2001 under President George Walker Bush.

    I disagree. I believe that Barr would have put them on the Gurney as soon as he could.
