What do we think of the canadian government paying Omar Khadr 10 million dollars for human rights volations? Omar Khadr is a canadian and was a child soldier who killed an american soldier with a grenade during a firefight in Afghanistan. He was a minor but was still sent to Guantanamo where he was abused. Now he's being awarded 10 million dollars. People are outraged. The widow of the soldier wants to make sure he gets none of that money. They say he murdered that soldier and that he is a war criminal.
It seems to me that he killed an enemy combatant in a war zone. It seems to me that whatever he did his human rights were still violated in Guantanamo.
The Canadian government shouldn't, but the American government should give him that money.
Josiah Ramirez
$10 Mil Canadianian?
That's like 20 Freedom Dollars, faggot. who cares?
Anthony King
It does seem like they would be the responsible party. But american courts have actually upheld the widow's case for over 100 million. But that can't be enforced unless canada goes along with it
William Long
Why should America pay him? He killed one of their soldiers.
Anthony Watson
Because america violated his human rights. Prisoners of war still have human rights.
Jack Collins
Also, Canada and America aren't enemies as far as i know so technically it would be friendly fire.
Henry Gray
Oh snap
Lucas Myers
What?
Jonathan Hall
I think he would still be classified as an enemy combatant
Liam Peterson
But Canada didn't do anything wrong. America did.
Jack Allen
How would America be classified as an enemy if they were on the same side? Literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Colton Young
....what are you talking about?
Even if they were BOTH americans and one of them deliberately killed the other, that would not be classified as friendly fire.
James Sullivan
Can anybody tell me what they did to violate his human rights exactly? This was a child soilder after all, thats as about as close to a feral person as you can get with being that kid from the jungle book
Charles Robinson
Yeah, that would be murder if it was deliberately
Nolan Parker
Well it wouldn't be murder. Unless it is considered murder when one soldier kills another in a firefight.
Asher Morris
Yes, then that would be friendly fire. Holy shit, what are you not getting about this? If a soldier kills another soldier of a friendly faction, that is friendly fire.
Many men are getting their asses beaten and raped in prison. Where's their money? Fuck this nigger. He should be grateful to be alive.
Aaron Lewis
Canada and America are not art war with each other
Jaxson Ramirez
It's a gray area. Kid was technically a mercenary. He's lucky he didn't get a bullet in the head. That's what he deserved. The civil claim will be enforced in Canada, or it may cause a lot of issues with other civil claims, cross border, such as child support, etc.This will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Jacob Howard
>enemy combatant You mean soldier.
Unless it's in a war zone. Even George Orwell didn't anticipate this level of double-speak/double-think
Chase Lewis
He wasn't part of a friendly faction, genius. Which part of this is going over your head?
He was a citizen of a friendly nation. He was a combatant for a hostile faction.
Jaxon Powell
And what does that have to do with anything?
Liam Reed
The soldier's widow's civil claim.
Joseph Nelson
The deep is strong with that one.
According to him, every civil war is just friendly fire
Colton Nguyen
Oh, he was a mercenary. Oh for fucks sake.
Hunter Carter
>You mean soldier.
ok sure.
Jace Thomas
lol good point
Landon Evans
By Geneva Convention rules of war, that is exactly what he is, you fucking idiot.
Kayden Robinson
wish there were a board for threads like this..
Christopher Barnes
Funny how ameritards focus on apologetics, rather than facing the truth that they are torturers in violation of international law
Henry Bennett
No, when did I ever say that?
Samuel Garcia
Why does he deserve a bullet in the head?
I mean, i guess he deserves a bullet in the head as much as every other soldier but beyond that...?
Isaiah Bell
It's a logical extrapolation of your absurd claim that if you get killed by someone who is not a foreign soldier of an enemy country then it was friendly fire
Colton Miller
Hey, they're both American - therefore = friendly fire Herp-a-derp-a-ding-dong
Joseph Torres
For being a traitor to his Canadian Citizenship. Canadian were in Afghanistan, also, so he could have just as easily have killed Canadian Soldier.
Samuel Diaz
He as a child soldier taken into a war by his extremist father. He was 15 years old when american soldiers started shooting at him.
I guess he's a traitor. But you can hardly blame him if you're being intellectually honest
Lincoln Scott
Are you arguing that the enemy need to be exterminated? That's known as genocide, and it's also illegal under international law....not that ameritards recognise the distinction
Michael Wilson
dude what the fuck 10 million
Hunter Ortiz
i'm confused canada has child soldiers?
Angel Morgan
Definitely seems a bit high to me. But then i've never been tortured in a prison before.
Jacob Ramirez
No. But he was taken to Afghanistan by his extremist father when he was 15 or so
Kayden Davis
Which will likely go to the American Soldier's widow, as she has a valid claim from an American Court, which the Canadian's usually recognize.
Should have left him to die on the ground after the bomb attack.
Nathan Bailey
I would get tortured in a prison for 10 million dollars wtf lol
I actually pay for torture of a sexual nature, and here they pass it our for free at Gitmo.
Parker Rodriguez
>Should have left him to die on the ground after the bomb attack
...not exactly a compelling rebuttal...
Adam Gonzalez
not even just me lol like imagine how many people would willingly go through what that guy went through and even more for 10 million
Parker Rodriguez
Once these little towel heads are so fucked up with extremism, about the only solution is a bullet to the noggin.
Jace Thompson
says the eurofag who's ancestors used biological weapons in a attempt to exterminate the indigenous peoples of the western hemisphere.
Leo King
Canadian here.
The way I see it the whole thing comes down to two questions.
1. Is he a canadian citizen? Yes 2. Did the canadian government allow one of its citizens to be tortured by a foreign government? Yes
Thomas Howard
I agree that he was an enemy combatant (in the sense that insurgents and members of groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS are enemy combatant), and I don't think that his killing of an American soldier in such a circumstance could be considered unlawful (it's not as though he killed someone who had surrendered to him).
That being said, I have no problem with the US tossing insurgents and members of Al-Qaeda/ISIS in Gitmo. It would have been a lot easier and less of a headache if they had just kept the tardo in Afganistan and interrogated him there.
Canada shouldn't be paying him jack shit. They didn't capture or sentence him. Canada is only involved because this scumbag was a Canadian citizen. He doesn't deserve a single dime.
Kayden Morris
Jews did 9/11. The men at "Gitmo" were innocent and the US government knew that fact. Fucking obscene.
Kevin Watson
it's different when you know you're going to come out fine and 10 million dollars richer tho
Easton Watson
The most intelligent post of the entire thread.
Tyler Lopez
They should pay him with a 10million dollar bullet
Nathaniel Jackson
>tfw canada cucks iran into paying billions of dollars for supporting hezbollah >tfw canada now cucks america, through one of its citizens, after he traveled to a warzone and murdered an american allie, who could've just as easily been a canadian soldier daaanm, canada is savage bout their money. not afraid who they cuck to snatch it canada ftfw get btfod rest of the world PAY UP CUCKS
Robert Ramirez
For your hat.
Ryan Fisher
it's a conspiracy dude he 100% planned it
Sebastian Baker
see
Josiah Walker
1.) He was not apart of any recognized military, but a terrorist organization. He is not a 'Prisoner of War', and isn't protected under the Geneva Conventions.
2.) Although he does have Human Rights, he doesn't deserve $10 Million anything. He chose, or even if he was forced to, fight in a war where he wasn't a uniformed soldier and took the life of an American Soldier. Every action has a consequence, whether we like it or not. Period.
3.) He should probably be kept in prison for the entirety of his life for murder. It was a form of first degree murder, premeditated. In most cases in the United States, first degree murder warrants life imprisonment. He isn't a US citizen, but he drew US citizen blood, so he deserves repercussions for his actions.
Wyatt Rivera
>uses that $10 million to proceed his fathers war >giving an enemy now in your own community, millions of dollars gee this will totally end well for sure no doubt.
bet canada gets sued for billions after he uses this money to carry out an attack.
and the con game continues
>artistic work of fiction
Aaron Edwards
kwaudz
Leo Adams
See
How we personally feel about his choices doesnt change the fact that he was abandoned in a place that he didnt need to be by a government that is supposed to protect him from the treatment he recieved.
Of course he shouldnt have done what he did but the laws of a country cant be ignored because we dont personally agree with someone.
Gabriel Thompson
no doubt, but lets be realistic, he should be tried and imprisoned for murdering someone (an ally in a warzone mind you) giving him money for being put in prison is illogical, and outright dangerous considering his family ties and past actions.
Alexander Gonzalez
He was tried, he served 8 years in guantanamo ,after being held for 8 years without trial.
Wyatt Clark
what exactly was he given the 10 mill for? I'm not saying he didn't deserve it, I'm just asking what was the reasoning canada gave
Benjamin Myers
you don't let heavily suspected murderers free while you try them...
Colton Bennett
idk
Colton Cooper
10 years without a proper trial isnt normal
Easton White
going to an enemy state and waging war against your country and its allys isn't normal.
Parker Baker
what the fuck do you know about "normal treatmeant" of POWs facing the horrendous charges this little turd committed...
Eli Diaz
I just want to know why Mexico didn't pay for it.
Angel Allen
ItsTreasonThen.jpg
Jonathan Anderson
Laws and civil rights are set in place to diferentiate a just society from an unruly one though, correct?
The right to a free and fair trial regardless of the charges
The right to not have to endure torture to garner a confession.
Anthony Carter
What he did shouldnt dictate the judicial process though.
Ryan Gomez
commited acts in another state captured by another state thus it's out of canadas jurisdiction he's lucky they didn't behead him as which is usualy what happens when the enemy (the one the kid was allegedy fighting with/for) states capture enemy combatants
Josiah Wright
Fuck this nigger we dont owe him anything just send him back to the tusken raiders or put him down.
Hudson Lewis
where he did it does. research this shit yourself instead of spouting bullshit opinion about a topic you clearly know nothing about.
Juan Clark
15 you know right from wrong
Charles Ortiz
Mexico wouldn't pay for it, just like the won't pay for the wall of freedom.
Fucking beaners.
Isaac Cox
>he murdered that soldier and that he is a war criminal getting shot is literally the military's job, how the fuck is that a war crime?
Sebastian Sanders
Shut the fuck up you fucking traitor, its war human right or not he plays for the enemy.
Samuel Foster
>search for UN dictated rules of war rather than asking someone to spoonfeed you the info here.
Christopher Lee
see The canadian government had a chance to bring him home and have him tried in Canada but let him rot in gitmo, failing in their duty as the government to ensure a canadian citizen recieved a fair trial.
Omar Khadr isnt being paid because he was a terrorist, he's being paid because the government fucked him over. Accountability swings both ways
Jace Powell
Couple of things. He was in Guantanamo, but was actually tortured by CSIS, not the CIA or whoever. So that's part of the issue--he was a Canadian tortured by his own government.
The other issue is that the only evidence he killed anyone was his tortured confession, which combined with a nickel is worth five cents.
A third thing is that without the settlement he probably would have been awarded more by a court, so there's that.
Anyway, he's probably still a fucking asshole. So I'm ambivalent about the whole thing.
Chase Robinson
you americunts defending your shitty army attacking dumb sadnigger contrys are as dumb as a pig

canada should be sueing the US for bringing it into a war we had no business in being at 9/11 was backed and funded by a different government altogether we going to iraq and wasting lives/resources under false pretenses..
Blake Lopez
I say we shoot him and the widow and have done with it.
Elijah Howard
To be protected by the Geneva Convention and to legally fight as a combatant, he has to be actively fighting for a legitimate state or government. He is not. So he is an armed terrorist murdering people. The courts are wrong on this.
Robert Parker
>Which will likely go to the American Soldier's widow, as she has a valid claim from an American Court, which the Canadian's usually recognize.
LOL, what the fuck are you talking about you delusional faggot?!
