Message | This makes no sense: we employ capital punishment ourselves so it would be hypocritical to refuse to extradite on those grounds! |

Message | You use Justice in the title of this bill. Realisticly there is none in any of this mess. Article 3 allows criminals to escape here without fear of the laws of the land where their crime of commited. Article 8 allows a criminal free room abd board, and a paying job for commiting a crime. That's insane. Any money made off that scum should go to the governement to house them. Article 9 allows a demeaning, mostly forced activity to be allowed, and even sanctioned. Your kind wouldn't know Justice if it bit you in the rump. |
