Didn't Khadaffi deserve a trial?

[Narrock]

This execution seems a little fishy.

[Spazz]

Im ok with it.

[brinstar]

i have been running around all day so i don't know any details beyond the headline

but yes, my initial reaction was that an execution without a trial is pretty heinous

and i'd say the same about the US citizens we just assassinated in yemen recently

Lol trial

Mass murderers deserve trials now?

[brinstar]

uhhh yes?

[Spazz]

We already know that khadaffi is a bad man without a doubt. I wont lose any sleep over him being gone. This is another one of those gray issues. I dont think the us govt should be killing us citizens but I dont really want to put a terrorist on trial after the execute a plot that kills a whole bunch of people either.

I dont like the idea of a preemptive strike but I dont really like the idea of another world trade center either. The world seems to be a more complicated place to me every year, I wish I had the cia info and all the answers it would make knowing if it was right or wrong a lot easier. I dont live in a fantasy world and there are some very bad people out there both in our country and abroad . I think killing bad guys has always gone on but now its a lot more in the open. 50 years ago we woulda killed the guy and never mentioned it. I think it gets a lot more press now a days when we murder some crackpot but I dont think its anything new.

I grew out of being an idealist a long time ago. Its one thing to think about what you think the world should be like but at the same time in the real world you know that sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Ya know would you kill a man in cold blood if you new it would save 1 life ? 10? 100 ? and so on.

It just seems odd that Saddam Houssein (who committed more atrocities than Khadaffi) got a trial, but this guy gets gunned down by an angry mob.

[Drem]

oh look a bunch of white people saying qadaffi was a mass murderer that deserves execution. hahahah

and mindia wonders why i dont follow politics. coming from people i know that are from that area, the dude was pretty much genuine. and the media has spun him out to be a monster. how surprising.

what does anyone really know

[Arlos]

Uh, sorry, Drem, the guy WAS a monster. Military dictator for over 40 years, sponsored terrorist bombings, including the Pan Am flight that blew up over Scotland. He would randomly arrest and torture people, and ruled with an iron fist. There are very good reasons there was a revolution against him.

As for capture/kill, I don't know the details of what happened when they found him. I have heard he was trying to resist and fight still, which could explain the need to shoot him, but that's merely 2nd-hand stories. Until I know the ACTUAL events, I am not going to comment on something I know nothing about.

Apparently, only his legs were injured, but they dragged him out and shot him to death. There was no "crossfire" he got between. It was an execution, plain and simple.

[Drem]

he did some dirt and got mostly what he deserved, but look at how nice libya is compared to before him. he did a lot for those people. he did a lot of bad, too, just like our shitty government. and the al-qaeda terrorists that inevitably take over are going to be a lot worse

[Spazz]

What the fuck drem ? Your right Khasaffi was a swell guy. I sure feel bad that they killed him im sure he didnt deserve it and will surely be missed by the rest of the world .

[Drem]

i dont give a shit either way, i just think whatever happens next for libya will probably be worse. the middle east is like a bad '80s TV show that never ends

Can't tell if trolling

[Drem]

prolly a little bit but there was a lot of facebook chatter from all the dudes from college i knew from africa about it. basically all their friends actually living in africa think this guy was a saint. sure there was a popular uprising but i think that's what sparked the foreign intervention

he increased the literacy, made housing a right, made food super cheap, etc etc. he wasn't all bad. i don't care either way but i just think it's funny when americans are all like "YEA WE GOT ANOTHER ONE" but don't really know what's going to happen next for the libyan people

Guy had the balls to tell them they're sinning.

Mass murdering, raping, torturing, and enslaving people is cool by him though.

[brinstar]

listen toons i'm not calling him a damn saint, i'm just saying everyone deserves a trial

well christians think they're tight but look at the crusades. there's bad shit everywhere. how do you weigh it? a purely pacifist approach garners nothing but people spewing your quotes everywhere (ghandi). i dont think it's okay to be a lunatic, but the american people acting like they're somehow better than someone who admits their mass murdering and torturing compared to living under someone who tried to hide it (george w. bush) are in no real position to pass judgement imo /shrug

[Arlos]

Uh, Gandhi led the revolution against British control of India. The DID use complete nonviolence, and it worked. Look it up sometime.

on a very vaguely related note.. is his only daughter really a daughter? i mean, she has lots of chitlins, but that lady look-a like-a man.. and what woman (especially one as smart as she is) wants a mermaid shaped gold couch? /baffled
