He was 18 in 1940 which in this country makes him an adult, which also makes little difference since they can try him there as an adult. If there was ever any reason to try a "Juvenile" as an adult......this would be it.

But it is not about "this country", it is Germany.
I didn't write the article...

That's right it isn't, yet they will prosecute him as an adult. All this means is that the defense (which there is none) will try to use a Juvenile defense.

And any way you slice, he's still being prosecuted and he's getting a better shake than his victims ever did.

Yup....

Summary Execution vs. Prosecution

and this boys and girls is a classic example of why so many are doomed to repeat history.....ignorance and apathy.

It's already been repeated since then...a few times. We didn't really do much about it--humanity in geneal, I mean. Stalin. Mao. Rwanda. Iraq. Indonesia. Bosnia. Uganda.

You forgot Cambodia.

Brenda is spot on here. The only reason this old man is being prosecuted at this point is not because he may be guilty, but because some useless sack of sh*t prosecutor wants to make a name for himself.

OR it could be yet another perpetrator of a heinous crime. He shot 10 human beings! Does that not count for a trial?

I've shot more than that. Should I be tried?

Dayseed Dayseed:

Knock off the glory-angle for the Crown. I dare you to name the Crown that's prosecuting this. Hell, I dare you to even name one Canadian Crown period. When you slip off to Google.com to find one, you'll know in your heart that I was right.

Dayseed, in the midst of your accusations of my purported ignorance you made my day. Thanks!

Had you bothered to actually read the story you'd know that the prosecutor in this case is German. As in, he is a German prosecutor for the German government prosecuting a man who is a German citizen living in Germany.

But you went off half-cocked thinking that this was in Canada.



Feel free to apologize now.

Were they defenseless civilians? Then yes.

Yah, I can admit when I fucked up. I fucked that up.

You must spread your reputation point to other users before giving to the same user.

Well, I tried to +1 you on that. Seems I already did that recently.
