I guess sorta in the sense that they aren't really similar.

:mellow:

They are similar in that the suspect's looks are apparently important enough to certain people that they feel the need to mention it almost as a mitigating factor in their guilt.

Oh well, I've not actually heard anyone say that re: Hernandez.

Ah, you missed the link and/or thread.

Enjoy...

Dunno who Aaron Hernandez is, but again, it's not about how cute Tsarnaev looks or not. It's about how young he is. At least for me.

Cute, sweet-looking-- same thing IMO.

I am pretty HOTT, but females and gays still give me shit over here.

Is it because I'm jewish?

Because I am definitively hotter than any muslim.

He looks like terrorist to me.
No difference from the ones I have seen in the wild.

He doesn't look a damn thing like Menachem Begin.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

He plays for the Patriots.  Also I think he might have killed some people.

Oh, him. Didn't know he'd killed people. Suppose I should read up on that, eh?

According to my quick analysis of the 2012 sentencing guidelines, he's eligible for 190 years plus death.

That seemed kind of secondary compared to playing for the Patriots.
