Not referring to Demjanjuk in particular, but all this does is just legitimize the idea that you can commit a horrific crime, then hide out till you are sick and old and then get away with it.
Before and during King William's Great Patriotic War Against Serbia there were many claims of "mass graves ... mass graves everywhere ... millions of corpses in mass graves".
Ten years later, we've yet to see evidence of a single "mass grave".
This statement is true, but irrelevant. Just because someone gets away with some crime, is not an excuse to let everyone go.
If a crime had been committed against you or your property, would you want the police to say, "Sorry sir, this crime goes unpunished everyday, so we can't pursue it?"
Just looked him up.
Seems kind of odd he’s being tried in Germany. Wonder how many German soldiers from WW2 are still alive. And I wonder how many of the jurors had grandparents who were soldiers loyal to Hitler.
1) Demjanjuk is 89 years old, senile, and in very poor health. How would you punish such a man?
Easy, strap him in the chair and turn up the juice.
None of this matters. NOT ONE ASPECT.
Deport, trail, sentence. Save me the teary eyed B.S. sob stories.
Also wonder how many people could positively indentify after all these years.
Screw him. Dump him from an airplane at 20,000 ft
Does it not matter that Israel’s highest court overturned his conviction?
And not only to punish him for his crimes, but to rid this country of such a one. There is that too you know.
No it doesn’t.
If you catch a serial killer, but then find out he’s not the serial killer you originally thought he was, should you let him go?
They overturned the conviction for being “Ivan the Terrible”. They did not find that he did nothing wrong. As “Ivan the Merely Bad”, he still committed crimes triable in Germany and entered the United States under false pretenses. He is an illegal alien.
So is half of Los Angeles. And many of those aliens are committing violent crimes on a daily basis. Can we deport them? Demjanjuk is the least of my worries these days.
He was a lowly camp guard.
I would rely on the Israeli Courts before the German Courts in this matter.
If the conviction was overturned in Israel and he was returned to the US, why is he being deported now, considering his age and health? What is the purpose?
He doesn’t deserve the privilege of US citizenship.
EXACTLY! My God let it rest. This vengeance pure and simple.
Neither does BHO. But now he is POTUS!
It almost seems as if he is being passed off to another court because the Israeli Courts did not get it right.
