Will there be another scholarship?

village_person — Sun, 17 May 2015 01:01:21 GMT

The Australian Catholic University has revealed that it intends to offer scholarships, in memory of the Bali duo, Chan and Sukamaran.

Will the Australian Catholic University announce a scholarship in memory of Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev if he is given the lethal injection?

Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s father Anzor says ‘We will fight until the end’ after death penalty

ANZOR Tsarnaev, the father of Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, says he will “fight until the end” to save his son from the death penalty.

Mr Tsarnaev told US ABC News by phone from Dagestan, Russia that the family was devastated by news that a Boston jury had decided on the death penalty for their son for his role in the Boston bombings.

"Will the Australian Catholic University announce a scholarship in memory of Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev if he is given the lethal injection?"

That is a totally warped question. How anyone could arrive at that from reading that article beats me.

1. The Boston Bomber is NOT an Australian

2. He went out that day with a direct intention to murder multiple people.

3. "Three days later, the brothers murdered MIT police officer Sean Collier."

4. There is nothing in that article that even vaguely relates to scholarships for anyone, let alone bombers/terrorists.

I feel sad for him in a way too. Imagine waking up every morning with a hatred for another people.

Hey Village. Perhaps you should apply for the scholarship.

They should have a Menzies or Howard scholarship to commemorate our invasions of Vietnam and Iraq.

I am against the death penalty: anywhere, any time, for any reason.

Havng said that, I don't see how scholarships in memory of convicted criminals can ever be appropriate.

Notice there's no uproar from the usual suspects. I wonder why??? Why are we not boycotting American TV, food etc etc.

The OP has tried to make a connection between ACU scholarship for two AUSTRALIANS executed in Indonesia (drug offences) and an American terrorist bomber. FAIL.

Who said I hate the RC mob? I might even be an RC for all you know. And learn what at an RC Uni? I wouldn't fit in at Uni because my T-shirt says "Che is dead; get over it".
