It is so easy to feel smug and superior when you don't have any skin in the game. Perhaps if you had had friends and family killed and torturted by this bastard, you would be singing a different tune. Qaddafi was the animal. I won't lump those who carried out justice in the same category. Let's see how this revolution turns out.
Mob justice is no justice. There are roving gangs of thugs in the US who would kill Sarah or Rush if they had the opportunity.
We have a presidency aptly referred to as a thugocracy with a vice president accusing their political enemies of rape and murder. These cowards have proven their willingness to engage in mob rule.
Justice by a military court leading to a firing squad is acceptable justice. Mob rule is not, ever, under any circumstances.
There can be no closure for families who have suffered injustice at the hands of evil men when they are murdered by lunatics. Justice, meted out by law, is the only form of retribution that mitigates injustice.
