Justice served

Unlike the people that tried to murder malala for the crime of being a girl who wanted an education, the solider that killed afghan cilivians will never taste freedom again. Justice for the victims.

--------

The US soldier who murdered 16 Afghan villagers last year has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Staff Sgt Robert Bales, 40, opened fire on men, children and women during the attack in Kandahar on 11 March 2012.

He pleaded guilty to the massacre in June to avoid the death penalty.

He apologised during his sentencing hearing at a Washington state military base on Thursday, calling the attack an "act of cowardice".

Sgt Bales had been making a case for why he should one day be eligible for parole, which would have meant he could have been released in 20 years.

He pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty but at least he was brought to justice.

Indian neighbors are recently identified in this history. They are many others already in line before them.

I guess if rulers or the elected members are to be executed or the person itself for carrying out killings in other countries guess India's neighboring country should be the first to start executing which provides shelter to perpetrators of terror on soil of other countries without provocation. Atleast in OP there is a war scenario and the culprit has been brought to justice while there they roam around freely, No.

That man should have been executed.Then justice will be actually served to the families of the innocent victims of this cold blooded and brutal killing.

If sgt. Bales gets life without parole then what shall the rulers (including their accomplices) of massacring countries get (within their countries and getting it done in other countries) ?

Past 100 years have seen millions being killed in the name of just democracy.
