Pan Am bomber released from prison..

[caff]

The convicted Lockerbie bomber has been flown home to Libya after being freed from a Scottish prison on compassionate grounds.

Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, 57, was jailed in 2001 for the atrocity which claimed 270 lives in 1988.

The decision to release Megrahi, who has terminal prostate cancer, was made by the Scottish Government.

US president Barack Obama said the decision was "a mistake" and some US victims' families reacted angrily.

Some 189 Americans were among those who died in the explosion.

the story goes on..

He's chillin at my place...... ^^^^^ her and her friends bout to roll through.

 

[dead4life]

shit isnt right.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

He's about to die, big woop.

Not all governments lock up people for ever like the US, Mr Obama should STFU and respect other foreign governments decisions.

 

[ColdBlooded]

Wow Scottland has some humanitarian standards? Well, Fuck Them for that!

I mean it's not like we killed Khadafi's baby dropping bombs on his house or anything right? I mean that's some shit to be mad about.

Hey Obama was this guy locked up in the U.S.?

No?

I heard about this on Kiro radio today earlier.

And I thought, "wow, he's dying, and he's fucked. and these people STILL hold a grudge."

Now, don't get me wrong, I'd probably still be mad too, but they need to LET IT GO cause they can't do shit about it. Harboring those negative feelings and energy is only making their lives shittier. And I'm willing to bet a lot of those people are Christian, just a guess....hypocrites.

Props to the Scottish Gov't. That's where a lot of my family comes from.

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

Why did it take 11 years for this to even go to trial? That is CRAZY long.

Terrorists have no rights. I thought you knew. They are NOT people, they are terrorists.

Of course, I'm not being serious.

That dude isn't necessarily going to die. My grandpa had prostate cancer in the 90's and is still here. Prostate cancer is highly treatable if caught in soon enough.

The motherfucker killed 270 people though...he shouldn't be a free man. I don't care where he's from or who he's associated with. If that was my own blood he'd still deserve to die in jail.

It's "terminal."

They gave him like 3 months to live.

I think it's a little late to be treatable man.

But in the next breath "Burn In Hell Robert Novak - Your Death Was Not Painfull Enough"

Robert Novak deserves a painful death and to burn in hell but a mass murderer deserves compassion?

What logic did you use to arrive at these seemingly polarized conclusions?

---------------------

I can't believe I am reading some of these responses.

Is this crazy day or something? All you guys have sympathy for a guy who killed over 100 people (no one has yet to argue or suggest anything about him being falsely convicted)

What does someone need to do for you to eliminate the possibility of sympathy if killing over 100 people is not enough.

As far as I am concerned when they found out he had cancer someone should have pissed on his face and told him to shut the fuck up.

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

I think because some of the people agree with the act maybe? Im not saying i do, but I kind of get a chuckle every time a foreign country, which is mostly likely filled with brown people that the US has fucked over or bombed, gives a little "retaliation" back.

Sometimes, an eye for an eye is the only way to feel SLIGHTLY better about being fucked with.

 

[Rossibreath]

I bet the victims family members exploded upon recieving this news.

 

[ColdBlooded]

But in the next breath "Burn In Hell Robert Novak - Your Death Was Not Painfull Enough"

Robert Novak deserves a painful death and to burn in hell but a mass murderer deserves compassion?

What logic did you use to arrive at these seemingly polarized conclusions?

So because it is the United States and it's allie it is ok to blow up a leader of a foreign country's 15 month old baby and drop bombs on 40 other people? And they are supposed to sit back and take it like nothing happened?

He's a soldier fighting an asymmetric war. What he did was fighting back.

Don't like the results don't pick the fight.

It is the same fucked up attitude that causes Obama to complain about how some other country chooses to pursue justice. Just shut your mouth and mind your own. He's got enough fucked up problems to deal with in his own damn country that he shouldn't be runnin his mouth on how the fuck Scotland wants to spend their time.

When's the last time you heard anyone in the government of Scottland trying to tell the United States what it should do with it's own business?


As for Robert Novak . . .

Robert Novak hurt more people and did more damage in his evil hate filled plague of a life than the Lockerbie bombers EVER did.

 

[fillyacup]

fuck that dude, but thats like saying a murderer is worse than some white collar crime guy who stole millions from hella people an ruined they lives.

fuck selfish people anywhere

 

[L.D.S.]

The ultimate irony would be him dying in a freak plane explosion. I'm sure Blackwater can make that happen.

 

[coondogg26]

Why did it take 11 years for this to even go to trial? That is CRAZY long.

because Libya was protecting him, it took years of economic sanctions to force them 2 release him for trial.

And no, this fool did not deserve to be released. He was sentenced to life in jail so he should have died in jail. Obama and anyone in the US government has the right to voice their opinion on this issue, given how many Americans died in the bombing.

 

[NAMO]

 

[TaxMan]

The ultimate irony would be him dying in a freak plane exploision.

LOL!! I'd die from laughing if that happened.

Were the people on the flight any more responsible for their country's "asymmetric war" than Khadafi's baby was responsible for her adopted father's actions?

Was the killing of 1 year old Elise Owen from England or 2 year old Warran Rattan from Michigan somehow more acceptable and forgivable than the killing of Khadafi's daughter because of this percieved "asymmetric war" ?

Children causalities are acceptable on one side but deplorable on the other?

Were the 90 people on the flight not even from the US somehow accountable or expendable for the US's actions?

He's a soldier fighting an asymmetric war. What he did was fighting back.

Don't like the results don't pick the fight.

You are passing judgment not down logical but ideological lines.

Kill someone against the US = forgivable
Kill someone in the name of the US = deplorable

You are compromising the integrity of an objective perspective by allowing your opinion to be so heavy influenced along your ideological perspective.

Innocent people were killed in both situations that had nothing to with the perceived motivation for the killings.

Just because someone "thinks" the US is doing something to negatively impact their life or liberty does not give them any more right to take innocent lives than the US has in the name of it's protection.

As for Robert Novak . . .

Robert Novak hurt more people and did more damage in his evil hate filled plague of a life than the Lockerbie bombers EVER did.

So you are arguing not that everyone or no one is entitled to compassion, but only those that fall within your acceptable ideological parameters?
