When we follow the plan (as directed in that silly old thing called The US Constitution), it seems like we always end up better off for the effort.
Sometimes, it doesn't feel quite right - we don't always get the exact results we're hoping for - but on average, the system works for us when we let it work.
So, when the news came out that about half of the local Justice System was convened in Jahar Tsarnaev's hospital room yesterday, and they read out the charges against him; and they informed him of his rights; and they made sure he understood them; and that he was properly "lawyered up" - I just felt better. There was something kinda normal about it, and I'm exceedingly relieved that John (Get-Off-My-Lawn) McCain and Lindsey (Huckleberry Closetcase) Graham didn't get their wish about turning him into a super villain straight out of the comic books.
This guy is nothing special. We should be looking at how his brother got riled up and a little crazy; and how Jahar got caught up in it, but that's a different thing altogether. What we don't do - what we must never allow - is for anybody to make him out to be anything more than the punk-ass little shit he chose to be.
