The mother of Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev said the U.S. "will pay for my sons and the sons of Islam, permanently!!!" in angry, threatening messages after Tsarnaev was found guilty of the Boston Marathon bombing last week.
Zubeidat Tsarnaeva sent messages to Vocativ on Wednesday, soon after the verdict against her son was announced. Full of capitalized sentences, emoticons, and exclamation points, the messages threaten revenge for how her son is being treated.
“MY SONS ARE INNOCENT, AS INNOCENT AS ALL THOSE WHO ARE BEING KILLED BY YOUR COUNTRY,” Vocativ quoted one message. “TODAY THEY ARE KILLING MUSLIMS, AND TOMORROW WILL COME YOUR TURN AND HE, WHO DOUBTS THIS IS DEEPLY MISTAKEN!!!!!”
Tsarnaeva, who lived in Massachusetts before being sent to Russia after being arrested for shoplifting in 2012, sent the messages in Russian, Vocativ said. The website put the entire text, translated, on its site.
Judge Jeanine Pirro, of the Fox News show “Justice with Judge Jeanine,” said she hopes Tsarnaev gets life in prison, just to spite the bomber’s mother, whom she called a “jihadi mom.”
“Well, if you do want him to die, then I want him to live. I want him to live the rest of his life in solitary confinement,” Pirro said, directing her comments to Tsarnaeva. “I want him to know the world is passing him by, to know that he can never be a part of the human race again. Now, I believe in an eye for an eye. I believe he should die because of what he did to so many ... but because you [Zubeidat Tsarnaeva] want him to die and be a martyr, I want him to live.”
