Nidal Hasan found guilty on all counts, 13 times murder

[eddie]

He's been sentenced, and gets the death penalty.

Now lets see if we can actually execute someone this century.

Actually I would prefer we didn't. At least not for about 20 years or so... Let him be forgotten - instead of made into a martyr

[Tchocky]

I don't see much chance of a speedy execution changing anything.

Anyone who chooses to see him as a martyr has already made up their mind.

Thinking like this gets an awful lot of people in an awful lot of trouble.

I suppose you're qualified to make that judgement? How arrogant.

We have not seen a lot of signs of radical Muslims overseas, or even domestically being a follower of him.

He did not have a following, he was a follower.

Death is too quick of an out for him. I say stick him in a supermax jail cell forever. This sounds terrible:

Hopefully he'll sit in one of those for 20 years or so until his appeals expire before he finally gets to be a martyr.

In this case of Nidal Hasan, almost everybody in this forum is qualified to make that judgement. Claiming one is not means to imply that 13 times murder means nothing.

And a "thinking like this gets people in trouble"? I do not buy into this socialist concept that people should be given what they want or need, and not according to what they deserve. I do not want mercy, but justice. And I prefer freedom over equality (the curse of the French revolution is that it made it appear exactly the other way around). If that is arrogant, then I hope my arrogance springs into everybody's eyes at first glance, for I cannot be arrogant enough then. It's an expression of man's reasonability and sense of fairness, then.

Reading about some people's idea of punishment, I see bloodthirst and cruelty rank high again today.

Unfortunately that does not turn him into a better being, but it makes you a worse one.

Determination is sufficient. Cruelty is not needed.

Give him a bullet, burn him to ashes, delete the record, forget him, turn to next item on the agenda.

I don't think anyone needs to be lectured on morality by a guy that advocates deliberately targeting the wives and children of enemy leaders.

Yet it does mean nothing in your little world.
You can't have it both ways.
This murderer claims he was fighting a war, you say there should be no rules to cover war and slaughter should be done without restriction, by any means, until the war is finished.
You have disqualified yourself from giving judgement by you own twisted ideology.

Doesn't look like that will happen anytime soon, the military is slow to do that!

Should I take moral advise on how to fight in war against enemy leaders from somebody who has witnessed his nation living through three major strategic defeats?



Ach nöööö... Preferably not. Maybe you fight politely. But you lose beautifully nevertheless a bit too often for my taste.

Perhaps in your Skytopia you could just cast him out, but since that is little more than a fanciful dream fueled by personal hang-ups, I would say, yes, you could stand to benefit from him lecturing you on morality.
