Intergalactic Summit

I will destroy all enemies of the State, Mr.iyammarrok, even if it will be my children, my clones or myself. Can you say the same about you?.. I guess not, gallentean.


But while these savages are killing gallentes, they can be used, right?


Now, how this was a backstabbing, eh?

I haven't heard they calling him "enemy" or him doing any crimes against the State. All I heard is CEP calling names, like "terrorist", those have negative meaning, at least for me, only in the sense of lack of professionalism.

Speaking about professionalism, I am afraid your aim is not so good, since you clicked on a wrong topic to discuss Heth-haan.

I can't help but think like, that all of this could have been avoided if Quafe had just taken my suggestion to appease the Republic by releasing new flavors...

Maybe they will release new flavors anyway? ♥

Better late than never, right~?

I'll state my thoughts succinctly... The moment the Federation handed Broteau over, he was a dead man. Even pretending to think otherwise is, at best, naive. Though I say 'good riddance' to the murderer of a Light of Matar... I can't help but wonder, where does all of this leave the Republic among the Empires in the end? When enough hands are bitten, there will be none reaching out in their hour of need, as would be the case with any of us acting on impulse in such grand scale.

It's not my question to answer, in the end, perhaps not even to ask, but I ask it regardless.

This is my opinion, nothing more, and whats to be will be.

Doubly so when you consider the fate of Anvent Eturrer. That one may purely have been Souro Foiritain's bit of public grandstanding, but I don't recall the Senate producing any such strong vocal dissent at the time.

Broteau got a fair trial in the Federation, and a swift and humane execution in the Republic. As Malaetu Shakor said, "To call [the Sebiestor] proceedings into question is to question the judiciary proceedings of the Federation as well." And to call the execution into question reflects an uncomfortable spotlight back in the Federation's own face.

Fourteen life sentences sounds much like a death sentence to me. A needlessly long, slow one where the prisoner is a drain on public finances for several decades and takes up prison space that could be better used on an inmate who's capable of being rehabilitated.

Versus the cost of a wall, some bullets, a mop, the paperwork and the funeral.

If you're dictating that the prisoner should die in the legal custody of the judiciary system either way, I really don't see why waiting for them to die of natural causes after a lifetime's incarceration is preferable.

People keep bringing this up all the time to compare with the current events and make a cheap-shot argument that, because the Federation burned a national traitor on stage once, any complaints about ANY OTHER CASE EVER is null and void.

I have pointed it out once before that there are vastly different circumstances surrounding these two cases and vastly different crimes to account for, but people keep making this comparison, and this argument. I fail to see how it is in any way relevant, but before I make a post about this for a third time, perhaps you would care to elaborate on your viewpoints here?

I expect that, if anyone can inform me of this, it should be you, Verin.

In the district of Caille, the death sentence is not a customary sentence.
In place of such a sentence, Broteau was given a term of imprisonment from which he would never be released.
He was then sent to the Sebiestor, who do have, and use, the death penalty for such crimes.
He was not expected to return alive.

Those who decry a 36 hour, uninterrupted trial as 'too short' likely haven't spent 36 hours doing the same thing, it's tedious and feels much longer.

As for the speed of his execution, That could be seen as a small measure of mercy, I am sure that even the majority of prisoners in Sebiestor custody feel wronged by his actions. They gave him the mercy of a bullet, rather than the brutality of a prisoner run beatdown and lynching.

Too many are ready to point fingers and call foul over this man.
He was a mass murderer who got the punishment he so rightly deserved.

Let it go. By becomming angry and railing against one another over this, you give him exactly the legacy he was looking for.

Personally, I had no problem with Eturrer getting charbroiled by our previous President's magic boom juice. A bit melodramatic, to be sure, but effective. He got a trial, he was found guilty, and he burned for his treason.

I also have no problem with the killer of the Light of Matar getting a slug between his eyes, either. Everyone knew what was going to happen when he was extradited, and Minmatar justice is nothing if not swift.

Sometimes the madmen need to be put down in a very final way to become an example to others. Whether it be Eturrer, Broteau, or if the Caldari end up capturing, trying, and then denying Tibus Heth the dignity of the Tea and just space his ass along with all of his cronies, just mulch their spare clone first and they're not coming back from a walk outside in hard vacuum.

The Republic apologists love to completely ignore the fact that the Federation had permission to enter Amarr space to capture that scumbag. And yes what we did to him was barbaric and likely will never be repeated.

Compared to the Republic killing Federation military on a scale the madman could only dream of doing, Treating allied sovereignty as optional, and then when the we ATTEMPT to put it past us by extraditing the criminal in good faith you spit on our judicial system with this sham of an outcome with no opportunity for him to serve his sentence for those he killed in the Federation.

Nope the people of the Federation will not "let it go" We already spared the Republic by not going to war once. They must know that the people of the Federation are not above going to war against who we once actually were convinced as allies.
