Good point.

Sloww thinks Hitler's not responsible for the Holocaust.

Cross post.
I agree with Wiggy. Given your line of thought, why is Charles Manson in jail?

I would like to take your **** eating green grin and shove a steaming piece of **** in there. I have dealt with your kind before...you watch trendy shows like The Daily Show and you get all your news from Wikipedia because "Anyone can edit it that's the wave of the future." Things happened son and sarcasm will not take them back, and you can't edit the holocaust away with your alternate realities or anything.

[Lorizael]

If it is a ****-eating grin, don't you think I'd want a steaming pile of **** to fill it up?

[Wiglaf]

Now you have just gone too far.

[Lorizael]

Christ, Wiggy. I'm Jewish. Distant relatives of mine died in the Holocaust. It's kind of a big deal.

I also changed my opinion on this guy when more facts came to light.

Please have sex with your girlfriend or something; you are clearly too stressed out.

Actually, Hitler was a decorated veteran of WWI, so that's probably not true.

Please. This is not a thread to discuss Hitler.

(You make a good point.)

I think Lori's on drugs and needs to be excused.
Excuse Hitler. he never killed anyone.

A) That's bull****.
B) The Nazi curse. Congrats. You killed the discussion before it got started.

That was the plan. I'm trying to make Wiggy so offended that he leaves in a huff. He's criticizing me for things I've already recanted in this thread. It's kind of annoying.

Originally posted by Lorizael What's your line of reasoning for this? If a person does not intend to kill someone, does not kill someone, and does not help someone get killed by what line of reasoning are they guilty of murder?

Accomplace AFTER the fact. If you knowingly help the actor after the crime, you have willingly ratified his acts and become repsomsible for them. Been the law around much of the world for longer than the majority of nations have existed. It does tend to rather harsh results, and has been modified to various extent is many jurisdicrtions. The usual way to avoid it is to roll and testify against the triggerman; if you say '**** you prosecutor, I won't talk" the prosecutor will shove it in to the hilt.
I am, however, a somewhat dubious that the "specfic intent" requirement for "capital murder" was present in this case, there was, however, conflicting testimony and evidence (you will have to read a record of the evidence to get any real facts, not the .001% of such presented in news stories and lying biased blogs), and the jury was free to choose the credibility and weight of such evidence as between the prosecution witnesses the (lying theiving murderous scumbag gang banger*) buddies of the defendant. It does not tke a whole lot of prosecution evidence to tip that balance.
That the victim was the son of one the more prominent and popular criminal defense attornies here in town probably did not help his case either; it at least shrank the available pool for his choice of counsel.

*Yeah, all these 4 were gang bangers from years before this, with long histories already in just their 20s, and no one on any jury here would believe any lie about one of them not knowing another one was carrying. Any one of them would rob any one of you if they had the opportunity.

Texans just like killing people.

[SlowwHand]

Were the killers born in Texas? I didn't check that part.
If they were born somewhere else and came here, they're Texan wannabes. Your statement is then certainly invalid.

It should be, "Texan wannabes like killing people".

I have a taste for it, but lawful and socially acceptable outlets for my peccadillo were constrained by being medically unfit to join the military and kill commie scum is SE Asia in 1970s.

Here's an interesting point to be considered. After the Scottsdale murder trial, in which several black men were executed for the rape and murder of one white woman civil rights advocates in a number of southern states managed to get legislation passed to prevent such a travesty from re-occurring. In Virginia the state can only execute one person for the murder of a victim and that person must be the one ultimately responsible for the death of the victim. I know that similar legislation was passed in North Carolina and a number of southern states, I guess that Texas wasn't one of them?
