osama bin laden is dead

[Tadao]

I still feel safe

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Woot!

It's funny, but I-Mockery was one of the first websites I came to when I got the news about 9/11. I was with my girlfriend at the time, and we had slept in that day; until around 10am, I think. (I was in college then, so that probably wasn't "sleeping in" so much as just waking up as scheduled.)

Seemed appropriate to pop in here and, I dunno, do a dance of joy. Or something.

[Tadao]

It was my ex-wifes birthday. I remember waking up and she's all "The whole world is going to shit today" and I was all "What's new?" Then we watched the second tower fall. I also did an amazing photochop the night before on Fark and was mad that Osama took away my prize. Fucking jerk. I never entered a contest after that.

Some dude at a gas station I was at today said almost that exact same thing

[KevinTheOmnivore]

I'M GLAD TO SEE GEGGY IS STILL HERE.

[kahljorn]

who knows if it was really osama bin laden, anyway. also who knows if he really did it or if he just said he did or if it was just some dude that looked like him that said it.

no way of knowing now that he was executed (if we could've even known then).

Gotta agree with the trial comment although I also think jerks should just be killed. ITS A DILEMMA

Did those 3000 people get a trial from Al Queda when they were killed for being Americans?

oh fuck off. You're basically arguing that NOBODY should ever get a trial.


Did the petrol station attendant get a trial when he was held up at gun point?

etc etc

You can argue whether it is justice to kill him or not after you prove his guilt. If he was killed in the heat of battle then fair enough.

As usual, you have missed the point, but nice attempt to place words in my mouth to make up an argument (when I said nice I may have misspelled 'lame' there.)

Those 3000 people killed were an act of war.

Killing Bin Laden (which as it turns out was an act of self defense on the part of the troops as he was shooting at them after all) was part of the war he started.

You speak of law, but this is not a police action, it was a military action, and even if it was a police action, police shoot criminals in the course of defending themselves all the time, even in your country. Or are you now arguing that police and military have no right to defend themselves and those they are charged to protect? (see what I did there? I put words in your mouth to make you look heartless. how does it feel?)

Thanks to sophisticated satellite monitoring, U.S. forces knew they'd likely find bin Laden's family on the second and third floors of one of the buildings on the property, officials said. The SEALs secured the rest of the property first, then proceeded to the room where bin Laden was hiding. A firefight ensued, Brennan said.

Now as I read that, it occurs to me that the SEALs were shot at while trying to capture bin Laden. So what do you suggest, the SEALs die so you can blend the justice system inappropriately with war?

So maybe, before you tell people to quote 'fuck off' and basically put words in my mouth that I never said (you are saying that nobody should get a trial) in a very weak attempt to make me look bad, you should use that thing between your ears eh?

Can you imagine the shitstorm of biblical proportions that would amount had they brought him to trial? Do you honestly believe that the US would allow him even the slightest possibility of going free? You can't possibly be that naive, the only course of action in this situation was for him to die. Like it or not, it was the only way for this to go down. An entire country (and arguably an entire world) had their lives directly and indirectly altered by his actions. To sit here and post about the US needed to prove his guilt in a court of law tells me that you don't realize the scope of his actions.

And on a personal note, those that believe that he didn't deserve to go out like this are really just giant pussies that simply don't realize how fucked up the world and the people in it really are.
