Je suis Omar Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 I think Khadr should also win an all expenses paid trip back to his home country, for life. You obviously believe the consummate liars that I referenced in the post before yours, Shady. Why would that be? Quote

cybercoma Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 Khadr deserves to be punished by the rule of law, nothing more & nothing less. He was 15 years old when he threw the grenade and made bombs to fight the Western insurgency. That needs to be punished, but he was also 15 and therefore a child at the time. The Harper gov now wants Khadr to be tried as an adult. I don't understand why anyone would want a child to be seen as an adult when clearly they're a child. Harper wants Khadr tried as an adult but was rejected yesterday, yet again, by the Supreme Court. At 15, you can't legally drive, vote, or get married because of still underdeveloped mental capacity and maturity and their ability to be easily influenced by others (including parents) because they don't know any better. Khadr should be punished as a 15 y/o for what he did, not as a man in his 20's which he was not. Harper also moved the age of sexual consent to 16 from 14 because 15 year olds aren't adult enough to decide whether or not they want to have sex with their bf or gf. Quote

Actually, to be correct, 14 year olds can still have sex with their boyfriends/girlfriends, just not if they're under 12 or over 19. Quote

Yeah, the prospect of jailing hundreds of thousands of 12, 13, 14, 15 year olds didn't sit well even with old law & order Harper. Quote

On Guard for Thee Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) I think Khadr should also win an all expenses paid trip back to his home country, for life. He doesnt need that, he is already in his home country. Oops, pardon me. I see now that others have already put Shady back on track. Edited May 16, 2015 by On Guard for Thee Quote
Shady Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 His home country should the country he spent much of his childhood in, and where he committed his atrocities. At the very least, his parents should be shown the door, and perhaps he'll follow. If we're lucky. Quote

eyeball Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 Khadr deserves to be punished by the rule of law, nothing more & nothing less.He deserves less. Rehabilitative treatment is what the U.N. child soldier program calls for not punishment. . Khadr should be punished as a 15 y/o for what he did, not as a man in his 20's which he was not. The adults who exploited Omar Khadr need to be punished for anything he might have done, not him. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

On Guard for Thee Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 He was almost 16. He was no child. Under international law, yes he was. You may disagree, but you should maybe separate opinion from fact. Quote

Icebound Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 I wonder when we will see the first report in the media about US jurisdictions becoming increasingly reluctant to agree to transfer Canadian prisoners back to Canada in light of our liberal courts and laws. After all, the basic principle is that they serve their time here, the time American courts have set for them. If our courts are simply going to set people free without regard to that why would they not tear up the treaty? The USA transferred Khadr back to Canada, because they knew that the whole case was an embarrassment to them. Quote

That could well have a lot to do with it. Obama has been a bit slow on his promise to shut down Gitmo so maybe he is playing catchup. Quote

Smallc Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 Way to miss the point in order to argue pedantic trivialities. Your point was wrong, because it isn't a comparable situation. The 15 year old in your case can still make up their own mind and have sex with anyone from 13 - 20. They're still largely responsible for their own actions. Quote

If we're lucky. Just because you are a Canadian citizen does not mean Canada is your "home country" But he also spent a lot of time in jail getting tortured. Is jail his home country?
