    The guy is responsible for bombing a school and killing 150 young girls. We execute people for less in the US.

      I think it’s the boats that will get him. I think they ended up killing several hundred at random. Iran was a war-not-a-war so that may give him some cover as a failure.

        I’m not so sure… is the American public even aware of the boat strikes?

        2/3rds of the senate is a big hill to climb, especially when many of the R’s that survived are from far right states.

        He should be “executed” on live TV, but the guns just “shoot” out a flag that’s says “prison for life”.

        He needs to think he’s actually being executed though: he’s fine with it.

            I hope you’ve been (and are) able to deal with that trauma in a healthy way.

            Come to think of it, I’m not sure I wish that on anyone, no matter who they are.

            He’s possibly barely suffered a consequence in his entire life, so probably even the thought of there being any consequences is terrifying (enough) to him.

            Yeah, this is one of those times where the punishment is more to tell others “this is what happens when you do this BS. So don’t do this.”

              Like I said, I get it. If you want to say he should be executed or sent to prison for life, I won’t argue with you. But the Geneva conventions don’t have a “we need to send a message” clause.

                Agreed, punishment should fit the crime. We have lately been pardoning people and sending a message that you can get away with things if you know the right people or have celebrity privilege, though. So time to get back to people not getting away with things.

              Yeah I honestly don’t think I’d be able to see that if I weren’t pacifist. I do understand their anger but I do wish people could differentiate between what’s based off their anger and what should actually be done once the anger is filtered out and processed by our analytical side.

                There’s also that a lot of people conflate justice with revenge.

                Distance oneself from wanting vengeance and then discussed what consequences justice requires.

        Normally I’d agree. But conservative traitors who commit atrocities in public view while celebrating and bragging are my exception.

        These cockroaches need to suffer the same torture they have inflicted upon their victims. If they survive CECOT for a year, then we put them in a fishing boat and take bets on how far they get before exploding.

          It’s definitely conflicting. He’s committed so many atrocities and it really makes emotions flare up. I understand where you are coming from but I just don’t want to see humanity further fleeting into barbarism by doing eye for an eye. Plus, death frees him from the shame of having to live with who he is and what he’s done.

            I want vengeance, but if the system actually moves forward with actual justice and real convictions and prison time, I’ll be more than satisfied.

            You are a kind soul. I like where you’re coming from. Conservatives are biologically unable to experience shame, though, so you’ll need to come up with a more creative punishment.
