Trump pardons murderer/soldier

wow....
He was convicted of murder.



Actually he was found not guilty of the charges levied.  In a real (civilian) court of law he may very well have been set free.  But - as this was a court martial - Behenna was able to be sentenced on a lesser charge.  Served just 5 years of the initial 25 year sentence after info that had been withheld surfaced.

Ooops - sorry - we will reduce the sentence

Oops - sorry - we will reduce it again

Ooops - sorry - you are free now........

Should be pointed out this was yet another soldier who did not get proper psych treatment when needed.  No easy answer, I know
People get convicted of lesser included offenses in civilian courts all the time. It is still a conviction.

What exactly is your argument, Kid?  That he wasn't convicted of murder and thus can't be called a murderer?

Not in civilian court

Unpremeditated murder is what he was guilty of in the court martial

Prosecution withheld evidence.  What is wrong with these people?

No and no.

For the record Behenna disobeyed orders to drive a released suspect home, drove him instead into the desert, stripped him naked, questioned him at gun point, and then shot the naked released suspect in the head and the chest, claiming he thought the guy was making a move for his gun. Fuck him. While I understand combat related deaths, what Behenna did is nothing short of a war crime. In a civilian court, kid, you would not be allowed a claim of self defense for killing someone you had kidnapped. Any killing in the commission of a felony is first degree murder.

Alcohol is poison, and addictive...ruins lives.
That's why Trump doesn't partake.
Wise man is Trump.

He's so wise he's now telling China to get out of Arctica.

This is partly why the mosque attacks in NZ happened...the shooter said so.
"Sydney gang rapes" and "terror attacks" he said he was taking revenge for.
Terror attacks...no genius needed to see which ones...9/11, Bali twice, London multiple times, Europe multiple times....etc.

London Bridge terror attack inquest opens with words from victims' families

Photo:Julie and Mark Wallace are in London for the inquest into the London Bridge terror attack, which claimed their daughter Sara. (Supplied)

With his daughter gone, her life snuffed out in the worst imaginable horror, Ken Boden told a stuffy London courtroom nothing would be the same again: "There's a hole in our heart that will never heal."

Key points:
•Eight people were killed and 48 injured in the attack on June 3, 2017
•The inquest will determine the details of how each victim died, and the response from emergency services
•The inquest will run until mid-July

Just 28 years old, Australian Kirsty Boden's life was brought to end on the night of June 3, 2017, along with seven others, the victims of a terrorist outrage.
Three men mowed down pedestrians on London Bridge and then stormed the popular Borough Market wielding kitchen knives they duct-taped to their wrists.

ISIS later claimed responsibility for the attack, which also left 48 people injured.

ISIS will tell you the same crap about our conduct motivating their attacks, you stupid, stupid man. I reject that pathetic asshole's self justification for his hatred and murder for the same reason I reject.ISIS's.
