Aleksandr Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 None of us know if he is sane or not. Different psychiatric reports have come to different conclusions.And who cares really? The important thing is that he's no longer at liberty, and so long as he stays that way, we'll all feel much happier about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 He is, in fact, very similar to the Islamist terrorists you so quickly rush to defend. .....rushes to search for posts from Melthebel defending Islamist terrorists. Bet I can't find any! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandr Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I hate what he did and I despair of and despise the twisted ideology that prompted his appallingly cruel murder spree...His ideology prompted him do it? Are you sure? I think it was something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandr Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I also understood it that way. I can't see any parole board ever letting him out, given his defence in court is that it was necessary for him to commit the murders.I can see it. All he has to do is be a good boy and admit that he was wrong - that's all, and he'll be out in 10 years. He'll only stay in if he wants to.

Because they have had those beliefs externally validated by others, directly or indirectly. Why do people validate these beliefs in the public sphere? Because they like talking smack with no thought to the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandr Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 .....rushes to search for posts from Melthebel defending Islamist terrorists. Bet I can't find any! An Islamic terrorist is any Muslim (or sympathiser/apologist) who is involved in planning for, or committing, an act of terrorism, and any other Muslim (or sympathiser/apologist) who collaborates in any other way, including those who withhold information from the Police, and those who give other tacit support. Does that widen your search? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, not everyone needs to believe that their actions are right and just; some really don't care, and others know absolutely that they are wrong.

MrSmith Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I am totally against censorship. People have a right to know what's going on. Then perhaps you should go and live in a country that doesn't allow censorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSmith Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Suggest one. I don't know any, but I can live with censorship, you apparently can't, and has there is nowhere for you to go that doesn't use censorship; sadly it leaves you with only one option. You will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
