Remember the My Lai massacre in Vietnam ?
Lt William Calley ????
Slaughtered an entire village !
On Purpose !
Know what we did to him ? What justice he got ??
We let him go !!!!
Lt. William Calley was convicted for his role in leading the 1968
massacre of Vietnamese civilians at My Lai. His conviction was later
overturned by Judge Robert Elliott. Calley now runs a jewelry business
near Ft. Benning in Columbus, Georgia. Elliott is still a judge in
Columbus, but he?s apparently no longer in the pardoning business.
In late July, Elliott handed out long prison sentences to five
opponents of the U.S. Army?s School of the Americas. The peace
protesters had altered a sign at Ft. Benning?s main entrance to read
"Home of School of Americas/School of Shame" and "SOA=Torture." For
that they received sentences of 12 to 18 months. Judge Elliott did not
explain why Calley, convicted of directing the massacre of 500 people,
was released while the peace activists, convicted of protesting the
U.S. support for human rights violations throughout Latin America,
were sent to prison.
Double standards ????
You bet !!!
