Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 That's Eurotrash for you, always willing to bend over backwards for people like that scum. Should have received the death penalty for his role.

First it is charity cases like this that they let out. "OOOOh he has cancer and will die soon anyway...." The next thing you know we will free Khalid Sheik Mohammed cure this guy's cancer with free government health care.

Nothing prevents a cancer patient from strapping on a bomb and becoming a "suicide" bomber.

Nothing prevents a cancer patient from strapping on a bomb and becoming a "suicide" bomber. On second thought ... I think that he should be released. I would release him and put him in a room with the victims families ... if he walks out ... he's free.
KD in CA Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Never understood the logic of giving someone a life sentence and then releasing them because they were close to death.
damj Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Never understood the logic of giving someone a life sentence and then releasing them because they were close to death. We have things backwards ... we're more concerned about giving criminals their rights and forgetting the victims.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 We have things backwards ... we're more concerned about giving criminals their rights and forgetting the victims. WE don't. The Europeans DO.
damj Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 WE don't. The Europeans DO. We could argue that ... man ... it's things like this that make me miss my M-16.

damj Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Veteran? Ohh rah! ... USMC, first Persian Excursion.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Ohh rah! ... USMC, first Persian Excursion. Sweet. I didn't get to participate in those festivities. I like to say that I took parti n Gulf War 1.5. Spent 4 months on deployment in Kuwait to "protect" the kuwaitis from Saddam when he got a bit uppity.

Spent 4 months on deployment in Kuwait to "protect" the kuwaitis from Saddam when he got a bit uppity. Semper Fi ... it's all good. I respect anyone willing to wear a uniform. As for our service, we play the cards we're dealt. First Persian Excursion was easy compared to Iraq/Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, and compared with what those guys saw, I hesitate to call myself a vet.

damj Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 If he's not verrrrry careful, he'll be dead by next Friday. Someone should shoot down the plane on the way back to Libya ... poetic justice! Never hesitate. Thanks Chef
Bullpen Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I hesitate to call myself a vet. Thread Jack Alert: I know exactly what you mean, we had a thread a few months back, where I kind of said the same thing. What I did in the military didn't have any direct impact on the greater mission. When I'm at a ballgame or something and they ask all the vets to stand up and be recognized, I normally don't stand up. Not out of shame or embarrassment, but I did what I did, I served my 8 years and I guess I don't really want to draw attention to myself. It was a job and a commitment, but I don't expect or need any ovation for it.

The people on that plane didn't get to see or call their families knowing they were going to die! fly him home. +1
