This is the 'price he pays' for being a pirate ? You're right: we can't have that silly "law" stuff getting in the way of your personal concept of justice. We ought to just summarily execute anyone you don't approve of; particularly if they're dirt- poor, stupid, or black. Of course, if we're going to start executing people for stupidity you're likely to have bought into more trouble here than you really wanted. My advise would be to either forget your notions of justice or invest heavily in bullet-proof clothing and a really really secure bunker.

He wasn't taken in for being stupid. He was arrested for kidnapping and theft. He SHOULD BE shot or hanged, as should any person trying to kidnap and hold innocent civilians. Maybe then, those like him would get the message.

I think the situation and court records show that he was a bit too young to really understand the gravity of what he was doing. I say give him 7 years with no possibility of early release, and if his behavior is OK get him to focus his life in another direction. He'd be 25 or 26--not too old to pursue a college degree or do something useful. Shot or hanged? He was just running with the wrong crowd. Datesfat

His buds got taken out by snipers. That's probably a strong enough message. The argument seems to be that we should short circuit our constitution, laws and rules for trials, but only for people who "really deserve it". Once you decide that's OK, it opens an awful wide door. Just on the off chance that I or somebody I know was picked up on suspicion of something, whether I did it or not, I think I'd want a trial.

Well, given that by the U.S. military's own admission, most of the POWs they kidnapped and then tortured at Gitmo were innocent, you're advocating the shooting and hanging of U.S. military and government officials... -- "Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance." -- Albert Einstein. http://911research.wtc7.net http://www.journalof911studies.com/ http://www.ae911truth.org |
