Excited to find the western chauvinists in this community.

Edit: Wow apparently the only people on chapo dot chat are whitees unaffected by and benefiting from their imperialism confidently declaring how the perpetrators are to be treated.
Y'all have some nerve

Edit 2:
ITT If you shoot a black kid in the back in downtown Baltimore I want nothing to do with you. If you perfarate an entire back family in Mogadischu or Baghdad that's ok, you did growth and spaces.

Would you do the same to an ex-cop who shot an unarmed black man?

    I didn't say forgive war criminals. I'm talking about people haven't committed war crimes and have spent the time after they finished their service working to oppose that system they upheld. Christopher Dorner was a veteran and a cop, I would gladly welcome him into any party.

    Every troop who was in Iraq is a criminal. That pure vet who was in the army but didn't contribute directly to US imperial violence is figment of your imagination.

    Well now you're moving the goalposts, you asked about a cop killing an unarmed black man and now you're logically extending that to every single ex-cop, even paper pushers and IT guys. Were they complicit in a violent system? Yes. Is there an equivalent value between the guy who spent all his time repairing shit and guarding a base to the people working in Abu Ghraib? No.

    You think all the vets you'll get will be ones who haven't shot a bullet? What do you do if you get a vet whose job it was to kick in Iraqi doors and arrest all the men? I'm giving you an easy one here, no killing.

    You accuse me of moving the goalposts when I stead of answering my question you answered a different one about "vets who didn't commit war crimes". I only moved them after you went to a whole different field.

    I wouldn't even say don't let people who have killed in, the basic line I think we should take is to look at it on a case by case basis. If they understand that what they did was wrong, they embrace marxism-leninism and they haven't killed or tortured civilians we should let them in.

    You started with "Should the cops who killed unarmed black men let into the party?" I responded with "no those who commit war crimes (implying that we shouldn't let cops who murder unarmed black men or are complicit in that either) shouldn't be let in." You then said that "every troop in Iraq was a criminal" implying that all ex-cops shouldn't be let in as well. If you make a comparison between cops and soldiers, follow through. You're trying to get me to make your point for you by answering each question one at a time, just make your point.
