Gary_Yngve Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 I don't see why everyone's so pissed off at Scotland for releasing him (I will agree that Libya's hero's welcome for him was insensitive). Let him spend time with his family as he dies from cancer. The family didn't get convicted/sentenced for a crime. Don't all the WASPs remember that Jesus forgives? Quote
StevenSeagal Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 They should let the Green River killer out this Xmas too so he can spend the holidays with his family. It's not their fault he slaughtered all those women...why punish them? Quote
Kimmo Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 you guys ever read the original evidence against him? just wonderin.... Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted August 24, 2009 Author Posted August 24, 2009 there was some messed up stuff in that trial and subsequent appeals.. evidence not shown to the defense, people being bribed to testify, etc. seemed like the intelligence agencies were arm-wrestling with the judicial system to get a conviction.

I've been familiar with this nutcase's posts since before he was allowed to use knee pads to ease his teacher's assistant duties. Quote

Gary_Yngve Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 Seems like you bumped your head when you fell off the idiot truck. Don't you think it's a bit odd that families of the British victims are not opposed to his release, while the families of the American victims are? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/scotland/6021327/Lockerbie-bomber-victims-split-over-decision-to-release-him-within-days.html The problem is with American culture. When something bad happens, we want to see someone fry, especially if that person is different from us. We don't even truly care if it's the right person, just as long as "justice has been served." As an example, 60% of convicted rapists/murderers who were later exonerated by DNA were African-American or Hispanic. http://www.innocenceproject.org/Content/351.php The notion that his release further emboldens the terrorists is laughable. If they're already willing to kill themselves in terrorist acts, there's not really any repercussions we can exact to act as a deterrent. Furthermore what happens is the American people latch on to a few emotional sticky points that get repeated ad nauseam by the talking heads on FOX, and then the pollsters produce evidence that everyone else in politics must mirror the same behavior for their own survival.
