A real life monster who took pleasure from death of millions. Oh and the people who defend this terrorist may suffer the same fate as his victims https://theintercept.com/2023/11/29/henry-kissinger-death/

There were “few people who have had a hand in as much death and destruction, as much human suffering, in so many places around the world as Henry Kissinger,” said veteran war crimes prosecutor Reed Brody.

The US really looks at war criminals and goes "yeah, they should be able to live out the rest of their lives in peace in their own home, surrounded by loved ones" while at the same time locking up black guys for 20 years because they smoked a funny cigarette. And other countries still take them seriously. We're all idiots, no exceptions.

This a bit out of date. Who’s locked up for smoking a joint? Personal use is a ticket in harsh states, and legal in most states.

Do you think they just happily released all of those who were previously convicted and sentenced for possession just because we may not be as harsh with the sentencing now?

There are absolutely people whose lives have been ruined over it, still sitting in prison for being the wrong color in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I'd be curious to know if there's any confirmation that personal use/possession doesn't lead to jail time for anybody in the us anymore.

I sure can't wait for uninformed people to mourn his death

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I mourn his death insofar that it happened now. Not 40-80 years ago!

Good fucking riddance. The amount of damage he did to the world and humanity in general is incalculable.
