shalom aleichem might be joking:
Court appointed lawyers, full panoply of U. S. Constitutional rights, on and on. Just hang ‘em from the yard arm! Aaarghhg!Mr. Wright is not. He hates due process for folks not Americans:
No, why are they not just “taking them out” on the high seas?The Great RJ doesn't trust the justice system.
Thereby, we avoid all these costly and unnecessary trials.
We know they did it - they were caught in the act. Shoot the bastards and let the sharks have them for lunch. Case closed.
These trials will be a joke and I expect one or more of these guys will get acquitted on some technicality and be sent home with new suits and pocket money to a heroes welcome in Somalia. I wouldn’t even be surprised if these pirates would get bail and be walking our streets courtesy of the ACLU and liberal donors.Bayan thinks a more savage America will totally solve problems:
I’d rather hang them on shore in Somalia. No trial, just take them in and hang them at the docks. A little of that and there’d be a marked decrease in piracy.And then we can bomb anyone who doesn't like it. And then bomb anyone who doesn't like that and then...
OrioleFan gets creative:
What you do with them is load them up on a plane and drop them out over a suspected pirate safehouse so they crash through the ceiling DOA just to let them know - We know where you are.Thats troubling.
Sorry Ozy,
ReplyDeleteI hate to agree with the freakers but enemy combatants do not deserve any "due process". If any ship fires or tries to board an American ship or otherwise displays hostile intent, then it needs to be sunk with all hands on board,ASAP. That is the law of the high seas and has been that way since the Barbary pirate days.
Sorry if I wasn't clear above. I agree with your position. Self defense means you get to shoot at pirates without need for due process.
ReplyDeleteBut if we do take them prisoner, at that point a bullet to the head is more of a bad idea.
I was trying to more highlight Freepers' cruel and violent plans for the current pirate prisoners.
