Lockerbie bomber returns to Libya

I cant imagine this will necessarilly go down too well in USA, Hillary Clinton in particular has been voicing her objections.

The Lockerbie bomber has left Scotland on board a plane bound for Libya after being freed from prison on compassionate grounds.

I saw this on Yahoo. He has a terminal ailment I think. I guess we could put him in front of a firing squad composed of doctors who practice malpractice.

I kinda hope he at least attempts to blow something else up, just to point out how fucking retarded the justice system can be.

Prostate cancer? Oh that poor poor man. All is forgiven!

infuriating. there is no justice. if ever there were a good time for the death penalty it would be here.

Granting a brutal mass-murderer a furlough based on "humanitarian" reasons?

Well I disagree , I think he should be freed , I dont even think he should have been jailed on the flimsiest of evidence & I think he was innocent , he was a scapegoat !!!!!

I don't know if he is really guilty or not. As far as releasing him I guess it would depend on how bad he really is. If he's basically on his death bed and will never leave it, it doesn’t really matter to me. Vengeance and revenge doesn't really interest me. Lets be honest with ourselves. This is really what it's about for some people now.


I also like what this one person said in the article.

Kara Weipz, of Mt Laurel, New Jersey, who lost her 20-year-old brother Richard Monetti, said: "I don't understand how the Scots can show compassion. It is an utter insult and utterly disgusting.

Really, think of the enormous irony of that statement. Not only to not be able to understand compassion but to get to the point where you thin it's disgusting.

My thoughts exactly... they should have put a bullet in his head if they wanted to be "humane."

 

[EwaSonnetIsGod]

They should have put a suitcase bomb on that plane and dropped the plane over lybia as it came in. Let that asshole experience the same thing those Pan am people felt.

As I recall, it was widely believed at the time that Iran, and not Libya, carried out the Lockerbie bombing....

And I wouldn't pass a death sentence on anyone unless I was 100% certain he (or she) was guilty of the crime. In the case of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, I have my doubts.
