There should never be a statute of limitations on those involved in the Nazi death camps

this. hunt those nazi SS pigs down and feed them to the hungry lions. I don't give a shit how old they are or if they are on life support.

I heard we had a war or two with the British once. Why aren't we still slaughtering them? Maybe there is such a concept as putting !@#$ behind us. For what other reason than sadistic bloody vengeance, do you continue to pursue this?

I will not quiver over old men in their beds. They are of no concern to me, and thus I have no logical reason to attack them. It does not protect society to follow this action. It does harm any families they might have. Cause new damage, open old wounds or start fresh ones.

I am conserned with the mob standing before us now. Turning their wrath on whomever they desire. That is the real threat. I see a pack of jackals ripping apart a wounded animal, am I to be pleased with this? No... it merely cautions me that there are plenty of rabid dogs out there and none of them are carrying swastikas. This is 2014 and the dangers out there are not from the 1940s.

One of us fights for peace, the other for vengeance. Tell me, really, which of us is likely to sanction another genocide?

Wut?

British?! Man, if you can't figure out the difference between the American Revolution and the Nazi holocaust, you are truly lost. Not to mention there is no one alive anymore from the Revolutionary War that could be pursued even if we wanted to...

Ah well. I tried...

Old men on their death beds who, far as we know, lived good lives after the war and can't harm anyone. Yeah, I'm sticking with that comparison. You are sadistic.


Sadistic doesn't mean what you think it does.

Seeking justice for murderers is not sadistic, you dope.

No one here attacking these men want justice. You want vengeance and are using collective punishment to get what you want.

I happen to care about both; unlike you, many people have a sense of justice that isn't limited to what's in today's headlines.

Our sense of morality isn't so anemic as to fade and wither simply because we can't remember what happened yesterday.

And defending Nazi War Criminals doesn't exactly put you in a position of being taken seriously regarding your "outrage" over what you perceive to be some sort of injustice in Benghazi anyway.

WW2 is yesterday? Now we know what's wrong with you.

I'll be sure to direct you to the nearest nursing home. I'm sure they'll have an opening for Chief Inquisitor. Just tell them Joe McCarthy sent you. Sounds like you two would be good friends.

But anyone of them might know where Hitlers secret base is in Antarctica that he escaped too. Adolph Junior is surely just biding his time and must be stopped before he attempts to raise the next Reich!

I know the US Marshals policy is to keep a case open until the person reaches the age of 99, is captured, or confirmed dead. This means the case file of the 3 Alcatraz escapees is still open and assigned to someone for example.
