I suppose this could apply to some of his broad-brush smears of Democrats/the Left/Obama etc.

You know, we've been hear so long. I forget the origin of that meme. Did Siege actually claim to poison wells while in the IDF?

He was talking throwing goat carcasses down wells back as a form of retaliation.

In the new world, there will be neither very many felons nor very many degrees.

[Warspite]

Does this not risk creating an incentive to commit a crime that will result in prison time in order to get a free degree?

We should be careful to make sure that this does not increase the crime rate.

no, he said it was the only way to deal with Palestinians, never admitted to doing it himself, denying he ever did it.

I don't believe in reeducation.
They should pay for their crimes, and pay hard.
This school thing would come out of our taxes, s0o fuck no.

So does the cost of their incarceration.  You do want to stop spending money on these people, right?

Did he actually do it?  If not, sounds like a pretty epic troll.

Let them rot.

I think you are now the biggest idiot on Languish. Congrats.

He's definitely no Einstein, but in this case I think it's Beeb syndrome in play rather than IQ deficit syndrome.  In his line of work, thinking about life's complexities is counterproductive.  You need to live in the world where there are clearly good guys and clearly bad guys, and if reality doesn't cooperate, you need to find another reality.  You can't do your job if you're capable of questioning whether you're making the world a better place or a worse place by just performing your duties.

I don't think it was either an admission or a troll.  It was just a "you bring a knife, we'll bring a gun" kind of bravado.  It doesn't mean that he admitted to shooting people.

In my line of work a great deal of time is actually spent criticizing the actions of police and other government officials.  A prosecutor who lives in a world "where there are clearly good guys and clearly bad guys" is a really shitty prosecutor, and not one likely to last for very long.

However, the world is full of people willing to publicly criticize police and other government officials.  Me, I keep my criticism confined to my job.  But don't confuse my posting on languish as being the sole entirety of my thoughts.

I think he was joking. At least I took it that way.

He never said he did it, he never said he didn't--he just said he had been present when it occurred, because that's the kind of fucking psycho nutjob Zionist settlers he associated with. 

In any case, he's a slice of human fucking filth.

Or he just said that to get your overreaction.
