I'm not even lying, that looks like the dude who mows my lawn. Kid can mulch like a mother****er. I'm getting him a giftcard for Christmas.
If you do not see the difference between drone strikes as targeted means of war - to prevent further murders of innocent people - and a vengeful lynch mob after someone has already been captured...well, what can I say.
Surely you don't mean to include the survivors of the victims of the Lockerbie bombing, ordered by Gaddafi, in the second part of your post, do you? If so, I ardently disagree. If anyone outside of Libya should be cheering now, it is them. They have waited a very, very long time for justice, and they finally got some.
i completely agree with this. The double standard is glaring. The ****ing animals that kick and mutilate dead bodies are just as bad, sorry but I stay out of issues there isn't near enough knowledge about. Of course there are enemies on either side of issues like these that will do stuff like this but I'm still surprised by some of the responses on here. Juan Valdez said it best. I choose not to celebrate the death of a man.
And I, on the otherhand, choose to vibrantly celebrate the death of a murdering b*stard that caused unimaginable pain, If for no other reason than the fact that relatives with dead kin and raped daughters feel a little bit better today... Kick the punk's dead body. Drag it to China and back...
50% dictator, 45% terrorist, and 5% Michael Jackson. Nope, it's going to be tough for future African warlords to live up to his legend. Let's hope they put his suits on display in Vegas, right next to the stuffed white tigers and Liberace's chariot.
Yes. I am including the families of the Lockerbie bombing. While they suffered horribly under Qadafi's policies they didn't live under his rule. As I have said here on several occasions I am not comfortable with the idea of glorifying bloodshed. Even in the case of Osama Bin Ladin's death I didn't cheer. I am not going to stop anyone from cheering though I am just expressing my own opinion and admittedly as someone who never suffered because of Qadafi.
QFT. People like to talk on a message board about what they would do. I'm surprised that Gaddafi didn't go to venezuela or exile somewhere. I mean even gortari went to ireland, you would think chavez would accept him, or somewhere he can give a few billion to. It's weird Gadaffi must have been pretty damn stupid or that deluded and blind to walk into that situation. He still thought he was the dictator even as he was being walked down that freeway to his death. To go from billions to putting yourself in the middle of a freeway with a angry lynch mob seems like a far jump. Let's hope if anything .01 percenters like him know that there is consequence. Of all the french revolution style dictator endings, this gaddafi one was pretty damn abrasive and real. I mean the dude was walking down the street in one video ,and on the back of a truck ,then on that same truck a few minutes later with a bullet in his head. They had it plastered all over cnn and every damn place I looked. totally as brutal as any of the worst gore sites I have ever seen. Thanks cnn. Which by the way brings me to my earlier point of, when the heck can we see the bin laden dead pic?
War crime?: Calls for inquiry into Qaddafi’s death By Reuters Published: October 22, 2011 GENEVA: The United Nations and human rights groups called for a full investigation into the death of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi and voiced concerns that he may have been executed, a war crime under international law. Images filmed on mobile phones before and after Qaddafi’s death showed him wounded and bloodied but clearly alive after his capture in his hometown of Sirte on Thursday, and then dead amidst a jostling crowd of anti-Qaddafi fighters. “If you take these two videos together, they are rather disturbing because you see someone who has been captured alive and then you see the same person dead,” UN human rights spokesman Rupert Colville told Reuters. Asked whether Qaddafi may have been executed, he said: “It has to be one possibility when you look at these two videos. So that’s something that an investigation needs to look into.” “If Colonel Qaddafi was killed after his capture, it would constitute a war crime and those responsible should be brought to justice,” Claudio Cordone, senior director at Amnesty International, said in a statement. Peter Bouckaert of Human Rights Watch, interviewed by CNN in Sirte, said: “We are calling for an autopsy and an investigation. This is a blemish on the new Libya that he died under suspicious circumstances,” he said. Meanwhile, Qaddafi’s body lay in an old meat store on Friday as arguments swirled over his burial and the circumstances of his death. http://tribune.com.pk/story/279459/war-crime-calls-for-inquiry-into-qaddafis-death-back-page/
What possible difference does it make that they "didn't live under his rule," when they had loved ones, friends, and/or family members murdered because of him? In the quote, it was said that they were "overjoyed." Cheering was my word. If I knew a ruthless dictator was responsible for the murder of someone close to me, in some cases, several someone's, I would be overjoyed that some sort of justice was finally exacted, and I wouldn't be dancing and cheering. More likely, I'd weep that the b*stard ultimately experienced at least a part of what 270 people endured. I suspect that those survivors aren't dancing a jig.
War Crime? There are no war crimes in revolutions, among irregular troops. There is no Unified Code of Conduct, no oaths, no hierarchy of rank. Some kid in a Yankees cap, adrenlined up from rushing into live fire in the back of a Toyota truck got close enough to the Devil to grab his golden gun. Boom MF'er!
whats the real difference between Gaddafi and degenerates like the ones in lybia that kick and mutilate bodies? Sorry I fail to see the difference.
That's what happens when you put someone in a box. People tend to be more complicated than they usually let on here in our magical BBS. -
I don't really feel sorry for Gaddafi, but I feel uneasy about the circumstances of his departure from this planet (lynch mob after he was already captured). As to his son Saif...I'd probably feel even less sorry.
