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.
Screw him. Dump him from an airplane at 20,000 ft
He doesn’t deserve the privilege of US citizenship.
Professor Explains Why Germans Anxious To Prosecute Demjanjuk

My grandfather had the experience of dealing with ‘lowly camp guards’ in Buchenwald (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchenwald), with men similar to Demjanjuk. I’m sure any of those surviving ‘lowly camp guards’ are old, senile, and pathetic men today.
These ‘lowly camp guards’ went above and beyond the call of duty of what was required of them, and found pleasure in torturing, murdering, and raping other human beings.
These ‘lowly camp guards’ ultimate judgement will come eventually, but before that takes place, they ought to have judgement passed on them by man, regardless of how old and pathetic they have become.
Nice of the Germans to round up a Ukrainian as the guard responsible. Did they try all the German guards already?
Actually Israel dismissed charges that he was at Sobibor or any camp.
