I think so; I didn't think we would ever see it! Looks like I'm wrong. Love it!!! Get those bastards!
Finally.
Looks like those fannies are going to be fucked at long last! ;)
They didn't look outside the window; this is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass.
NAIL THE BASTARDS!
They all should end up being someone's bitch in a maximum security prison... with no chance of parole. Greedy pricks. There's lots of other shady dealings going on in the states that are currently "legal"... it's all a house of cards. Push the right buttons, and the world could collapse. Just the fact that the federal reserve is privately owned, and LENDS money to the rest of the world is fucking scary. Guaranteed inflation. Capitalism is just a shiny version of evolutionary survivalism, weighted in favor of the one percent...

Woh, there's a lot of blood in the water here. I think we should all see them take account of their actions and their consequences, but wishing them such harsh ills is... well, that's not cool, man :)
I can't say I have much faith in the justice system overall, but I think justice is often misguided in many societies. Sometimes the best way to solve such problems is to reach out to people make them repentant, not to lash out at them. Capital or corporal punishments are crimes in themselves. If it's wrong to kill, it's wrong to kill a killer still. No one deserves to beaten or raped, for any reason. That's not helpful, and it's not dude :P
I was of the opinion that killing Saddam was a mistake, as he went to his grave believing he was right. I would have rather we'd kept him the rest of his life and brought him round to our opinion. I think maybe a madman like Gadaffi would never have caved, but a beaten, cowed man like Saddam was at the end might just have shown a single glimmer of remorse, and that would have been worth staying the executioner's hand for.
I understand hurt and a desire for justice, but I simply can't understand retribution. An eye for an eye is part of the religions that are often harshly badmouthed around here, so why go along with it?
Crime and punishment, yes.
Hurt and vengeance, no.

I hear you dude, and there are people that will respond positively when given the opportunity to rehabilitate. We speak partially in jest - it's easy to do. So, not to spill blood in the water intentionally, I have to say that there ARE the psychopathic megalomaniacs who actually take joy in others pain, crushing anyone who stand in their way as they rise to power, whether it's a country, or a financial institution. We're not all nicey-nicey; there's a lot of greedy, sick shits in this world who would crush you and I in a heartbeat. For them I have no compassion. IMDO, they get what they deserve when put in jail.

Yeah, there are some sick people out there that are beyond help, for sure. Some people are beyond help, redemption (moral, not holy) and reasoning. I think as long as we never stoop to the level of those we seek to condemn for their actions, that's justice. Killing a killer is not just.
That said, I'm all for putting these guys int he stocks and pelting them with rotten tomatoes for a week, as well as bankrupting them, seizing their assets and banning them from being employed with a financial institution for life. You take on the responsibility, you bare the cost of your actions. That's justice :)

Couldn't agree more.
Nuff said.
