U.S. soldier sentenced to death

[Staga]

Eh guy admitted to his fellow soldiers what he had done and actually bragged about it?
I'd be quite surprised if anyone could had walk away from that one...

Not my problem but I find it a bit odd that Ronghi got life for killing and raping a child and this one gets death sentence after killing two adult soldiers.
Which one is bigger crime?

[Staga]

Heh what a stupid question; your martial court already answered to that one.
Guess raping and killing childrens isn't that big deal in US than killing two adult soldiers.

Let me spell it out for you.


Try a capitial case=not a sure thing.

Taking a guilt plea for murder= Sure thing.


He could have walked if things went wrong in the case.



But all this really is to you is another reason to be the poster child for the amerihaters.

From what i understand so far, the military has it's own judicial system in place, and it is somewhat different from the normal judicial system that is in place for the rest of the country.

My question is, what are the main differences, and how does this effect the outcome of trials that are of a simular nature? What are some of the plusses and minuses to the military sytem?

Maybe someone who is or has been in the military could clarify this.  There is a difference between looking at a car and taking one for a test drive.

I remember when I was in the 101st how many American GI's (predominantly African-Americans) who were turning to be Muslems.  I knew there would be trouble if we ever went to war with a Muslem nation.  And that was 1990-96

One of the soldiers killed was from my old unit.  I didn't know him though.


FRY THE F*&^%&.

You look so cool and adult when using that world "Amerihater"  

[GtoRA2]

It is fitting for you.

I think you are the only one I have used it on.

GTO,

Staga isn't the virulent spewer of hate for America. He's a troll, nothing much else. If you want to see the actual poster child of the term you used for staga you have to look no further than gsholtz.

Actually, if I remember correctly, Muslam is the same as Christianity in most respects. The differences being that they beleive that Mohammed was a prophet and that Christ was also a prophet, but not the son of god. Other than that, the philosophy of both religions are pretty much the same.

I disagree that that are pretty much the same.

Mohammed was a prophet and didn't like the Christianic slant of the Holy Trinity.  It reeked of polytheism.  There should be only one god, he reasoned, not three and after visiting Mecca he soon relocated to Medina due to difficulty of attaining believers.

After a successful stay in Medina, Mohammed soon returned to Mecca and so it began in earnest.

I also remember (but can't locate it anymore) that somewhere in the Koran that Mohammed said that it was okay to lie to Christians because they weren't worth telling the truth to.

Glad to see at least Rino is supporting this rapist and killer.

     Musta missed that part of my post.  I also don't have a time
machine so I can't go back and fix mistakes.  I thought you
Euro guys were almost all anti-Death Penalty.  I guess it's
different if it's only an American being killed.  

     Of course that whole trial thing is so...inconvenient.  A nice
trial by public opinion and beheading is alot more immediate.

You're talking as if someone here had any say on this staga.

Question for anyone: Who feels that the rape murder of an 11 year old girl merrits the death penalty?

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess most people's response to that Staga. Most people are going to go for the death penalty on that one. So, what you're actually finding odd is why a group of 12 people that do not post on this bbs felt otherwise, or why a prosecutor decided waive persuing the death penalty in lieu of a plea of guilty.

We recently had a man near here rape and murder a 14 year old girl. While everyone was still searching for this girl, he then raped and murdered her best friend. He was finally caught and tried to pretend to be insane (as if these were the actions of a sane man) but phsycologists weren't getting on board with that. When he realized the insanity plea wouldn't work, he plead guilty to avoid the death penalty. I don't know a single person that didn't want this guy to fry. It doesn't speak for the people in the state and it doesn't speak for the country when things like this turn out the way they do.

Read up on the Ronghi case and see what the findings and actions against the unit were. Then you'll understand how seriously the military took this. Maybe then, you won't have to throw it out as if there's any significance to it other than your tendancy to point at something really horrible and pretend your not implying anything by doing it. Hell... maybe then you and nuke wouldn't have so much in common.

Wow, MiniD.  Good post.

Wished this would have been the second post in this thread.
