Current Events > I can't believe Trump pardoned child killers

(+) Yeah! (+)

those soldiers literally murdered women and children.

what he do? he did a wave of pardon's and that has something to do with it.
---

Conveniently, the things they did is why the president pardoned them.

Birds of a flock etc...

Well, there IS the fact that the kids in question weren't white

Trumpers don't really care about those

I'm not defending WHOM they killed, but rather than WHY.

You send a bunch young kids to a training center designed to make them use to taking orders and good at killing.

They will kill people when you order them to.

When they "raze" cities they give insane amounts of warning to come get captured instead. Days ahead of time.

Some idiot somewhere thought they didn't have to listen and this tragedy happened.

Obviously the whole entire war over there is silly and stupid.

But it's not like these kids were genuinely going "I can't wait to shoot some children!" They were probably thinking "Oh God someone is in there, are they going to kill us all?"

thats all supposition on your part

I can believe it very easily

The FBI determined 14/17 killings were unjustified. They got orders to stop and continued. They're war criminals, they should have been executed. Anyone who'd try and justify this from a mercenary squad should have their entire character pulled into question.

For a guy named "OnlyTheTruth" you post a ton of bullshit. Hardly surprising from a Trump supporter though

We have an extremely prominent historical example for "just following orders" as a defense of atrocity, and everyone decided it was a bad one.

Considering what happened it sounds a lot more like the former than the latter. Don't know why you're giving them the benefit of the doubt.

100%

and for a president to pardon that, condone that. unforgiveable.

I'm not clear on the details - were they being trained as child soldiers and you are saying their deaths were understandable?

Because he loves Trump. Their kind don't tend to be friendly towards facts and reality

Nicholas Slatten, 30, of Sparta, Tennessee, the teams sniper, was found guilty of first-degree murder while armed in the slaying of the river of a white Kia sedan in the Baghdad traffic circle. Prosecutors said Slatten kicked off the incident when he opened fire.

The other verdicts:
Paul Slough, 35, of Keller, Texas, was found guilty of 13 counts of voluntary manslaughter, 17 counts of attempted manslaughter and one firearms offense;

Evan Liberty, 32, of Rochester, New Hampshire, was found guilty of eight counts of voluntary manslaughter, 12 counts of attempted manslaughter and one firearms offense;

Dustin Heard, 33, of Maryville, Tennessee, was found guilty of six counts of voluntary manslaughter, 11 counts of attempted manslaughter and one firearms offense.

Seventeen Iraqi civilians were killed that day at Nusoor Square, including 9- and 11-year-old boys. Fourteen of those killings were unjustified under the rules of the use of deadly force in Iraq by Iraqi security contractors.

Eighteen more people were injured.

The September 16, 2007, incident began when 19 Blackwater contractors were assigned to a convoy. After learning a car bomb had detonated in Baghdad, near where a U.S. official was being escorted, the team known as Raven 23 drove to a secured checkpoint.

Once there, in disregard of an order from Blackwaters command, the teams shift leader directed Raven 23 to leave the Green Zone and establish a blockade in Nusoor Square, a busy traffic circle that was immediately adjacent to the Green Zone, the prosecutors statement said.

Seven members of the team opened fire in the traffic circle, killing and injuring unarmed Iraqis, and Slough kept firing as the team exited the circle, killing and wounding even more Iraqis.

I'll also take this moment to remind everyone how a rich dick ran down someone in another country, fled back to the states to avoid murder charges and Trump brought the family of the victim to the states to hug it out with their son's murderer to forgive them for their crime they feel absolutely no guilt for and couldn't fathom why the family opposed this and wanted that person dragged back to their country to face charges.

Trump doesn't have any empathy for anyone, this was all done to appease the hard right who love these types of murderers

i don't think it's always about trolling and getting bites, i think people really believe what they say with stuff like this, they just know they'll get modded or hit with a bad reputation on their main. just wish people would own up to the bullshit they pull and be done with it instead of the obnoxious alt account cloak-and-daggery

You must be pretty popular on the MAGA board.

I hope someone decides to get justice for this since the system has completely failed the victims.

Thank you for the details - so the Blackwater people just opened fire on civilians to clear an intersection?!?!

Makes my stomach turn

This really puts to an end any doubts about Trump being racist and evil. If these were white kids these pardons would not have happened.

Don't presidents give their reasons why they pardon certain people? Have Trump given out reasons why he pardoned these people yet?

I can

That would require coming up with something to feed to the media to justify it. These are completely unjustifiable so they'll just do it and not say shit.
