There is going to be a lot of this going on in Iraq, for years to come.
This seems to be a case of the Government investigating and arresting a former ISIS member, but vigilantes won’t have press conferences after they mete out their justice.
Family members of victims, their tribes, and Shi’ite/Kurdish militias will hunt and kill former ISIS members - just like former Ba’ath Party murderers were hunted after Saddam was overthrown.
In Iraq, most of the ISIS soldiers, and almost all of their leaders, were local Iraqis. Folks knew each other all their lives, before ISIS empowered some to commit horrible atrocities on their neighbors.
Now many of those who former thugs are back alone in their houses, without a brutal gang backing them up - probably afraid to step out to the store, in case someone they abused recognizes them. Meanwhile, in other houses on the block, ISIS victims and their families are staying up at night trying to figure out how to best get their revenge.
The government is now dominated by the Shi’ites, who were the main victims of ISIS, so the cops are more likely to participate in executing former ISIS members while off duty, than they are to prosecute those who do.
ONLY if he is in 2 pieces-—beheaded already.
Anybody know if John McCain or Obama is asking for clemency?
Let’s hope it’s televised worldwide.....
