I'm going to throw out a question, one that's been lurking on my mind for a while now, it's not a very popular question, but it's one that does, in my opinion anyway, need asking.

Aside from the method of killing and location, what is the difference between the killing of Lee Rigby, and the killing of the injured un-named insurgent shot by Royal Marine Sergeant Blackman?

This is by no means condoning either act, but I see a lot of people campaigning for Sgt. Blackman to either have his sentence reduced or removed completely, and yet the same sort of campaign does not occur to the two men who are currently in court. Naturally, I would be rather surprised if anyone in the UK took up their cause, most of the people who would publically do so are currently in Syria, the Khyber pass, or somewhere in Northern Africa.

Just a question to ponder, and reply in a non-emotional way if people are able.
