R.I.P. Slobodan Praljak 1945 - 2017

So, was it heroic or cowardly?

Cowardly.

If you're going to kill thousands of people you should at least have the nerve to face the consequences.

Heroic.

Literally did nothing wrong and went out like Socrates on his own terms in the face of extreme injustice. In older time men like this became myth.

faggot

he didn't do anything wrong

but at least he could leech off of this nig system by living

he had like 2-3 years left in jail

>this 56% post

he literally didn't kill thousands of people

So why did he off himself?

Orchestrated it.
Praljak was among six accused by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), in relation to the Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia.[2] On 5 April 2004 he voluntarily surrendered and was transferred to the ICTY.[1] In his indictment it was alleged that Praljak as a senior military official commanded, directly and indirectly, the Herceg-Bosna/HVO armed forces which committed mass war crimes against Bosnian Muslim population in around 30 municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In his role as a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Defense, he was closely involved in all aspects of not only the Herceg-Bosna/HVO military planning and operations but the actions of the Herceg-Bosna/HVO civilian police too.[2]

Biopic starring ron pearlman when

to make a statement
or maybe he just wanted to go down with a great boom idk
but he didnt do it to "avoid" the consequences

It could be heroic if he kill the judge too.

Make what statement?
That he didn't accept that he was being charged with war crimes?
Your logic is retarded.

Why are you replying to this guy? Literally getting his talking points off wikipedia and hadn't heard about the whole war until he saw the suicide on CNN a few days ago

None of what he said is that wrong

>So why did he off himself?

He said it before he 'offed' himself

>hadn't heard about the whole war
What the fuck are you talking about.
I know plenty about the Croatian War of Independence, Bosnian Wars, and the Yugoslav wars as a whole.

I know the wars were incredibly brutal by modern standards.
But that does not mean that someone who was a leader should not be prosecuted for what he fucking did.

Sure you can make the argument that some leaders have gotten off scot-free. But i'm not fucking saying they should. If it was up to me, every fucking person who participated would get the death penalty.

So I should believe someone that was convicted in a court of law, that he wasn't a war criminal, just because he said so?
I guess if I went to a prison and asked people if they committed their crime I should believe them as well, if they say no.

Only Croats are now officially guilty for war in Bosnia now.

Let me guess he killed your mummy and daddy didnt he?

>Croatian War of Independence, Bosnian Wars, and the Yugoslav wars

only person who reads wiki would call them that

>So I should believe someone that was convicted in a court of law, that he wasn't a war criminal, just because he said so?

He firmly believed he wasn't one, that's why he refused to accept the verdict and go free after a year or two, since he already spent most of the sentence in jail.

>only person who reads wiki would call them that
Then what should I call them your highness?

>He firmly believed he wasn't one, that's why he refused to accept the verdict and go free after a year or two, since he already spent most of the sentence in jail.
He was a war criminal by definition. Him saying he wasn't is akin to a child claiming he didn't shit the bed, when the shit is still hanging out of his ass.

it's one war, not several

>I know the wars were incredibly brutal by modern standards.
not really, they were just more media exposed, with 60% being exageratted by the CNN to get public approval of american intervention in a socialist state.

the same shit you had in Iraq, Libya, Syria, with burgers sometimes doing mass rapes of kids and women, the only difference the CNN was now on the american side in covering this kind of shit, or spinning the war crimes like concentration camps in NATO states, Abu Ghraib etc. as "fringe occurences"

Do you also consider Apache Wars, Red Cloud War, Great Sioux War to be the same?

>muh ebil NATO boogeyman

No
No

?
you can't separate it into few wars, war in Bosnia and Croatia are one war.
Kosovo war is later continuation of yugo breaking

>No

Croats are officially guilty for trying to create Herzeg-Bosnia, while Serbs aren't guilty for existing Republika Srpska. We're officially guilty for attacking sovereign country of Bosnia.

I'm just saying only them being responsible for the Bosnian war is a huge stretch
Of course it's on them too

It's neither really. Just a reasonable thing to do considering his position.
