I just assumed he’d flee to Russia and act like a king in exile for the rest of his life. He’d probably conveniently pop up from time to time to spew some pot stirring thing that just hurts the US.

Honestly surprised he hasn’t already, I thought he would flee back in 2021.

Hey but both sides suck and it’s not worth voting this year.

Yeah, being able to open the window just slightly from a different angle doesn’t seem like that useful of a feature. Also in the US we mostly have a different style of window (see below).

It’s rare that I want to open a window, but only slightly open it. Normally it’s all the way open and I probably put box fan in the window to pull air through.

You’re correct that many houses these days are built too air tight, but for older houses that were built before AC the house was often designed so that you could open windows on different sides of the house to create a cross breeze. So for example, you could open up windows on the East and West side in the morning and the temperature difference should create a convection breeze through the house.

It’s the same as the Shopping Cart theory. There are a few analogous theories, but they’re all the same. If you don’t return your grocery cart, pick up your pet’s poop, or hold your trash till you find a disposal then you’re an asshole.

It might be a case of present morals/ethics being applied to the past, but it’s kinda fucked up. It’s literally justifying murder and terrorism. Fighting against strike breaking companies is certainly a admirable, but doesn’t justify killing people.

I just don’t know enough to be sure how I feel. Besides the two people he killed he also injured another 23. What was the thought process for the bomb? From the article and the pictures it was well above the waterline and so based on the size of the hole the bomb would never have sunk the ship. Was he just young and inexperienced, not realizing his bomb wouldn’t sink the boat? Was he malicious and just trying to kill people? Was he trying to scare people and not really cause any harm?

Depending on the answers to these answers he’s either a monster or an inexperienced kid and I can see cause for leniency or none.

Also, looking at the rest of his history I doubt he would have offered the same pardons he received.

That’s kinda fucked up, dude killed some people, never apologized (just that he regretted they got killed at his trial), and dude gets a full pardon?!

I’m not saying he should have been executed, but a full pardon is insane.

MLs? I tried googling it, but the closest approximation is Marxist-Leninists?
