It is statements like yours that would give an evil person hope of someday living in peace. Only if there is NO statute of limitations is there an effective deterrent to evil.

Prosecutions and executions of most of the people responsible for the Holocaust as well as of such commanders and other important figures as we could find hasn’t stopped war crimes, genocide, and other crimes against humanity. Prosecuting a former private soldier who is not alleged to have personally harmed anyone, while leaving others to go free, isn’t going to impress anyone either.

As for being an evil person, one would have thought if he were, he’d have been doing evil things for the last sixty-four years. Doesn’t seem to be the case.

Meanwhile, while millions of dollars and thousands of man hours are spent on the Demjanjuk case, there are people who are clearly Class A war criminals and other serious offenders unmolested because resources are being wasted on this nobody. Truly evil people are going free because we’d rather get low-hanging fruit like this guy. I rather wonder if this is because the Justice Department has a real interest in the public interest, or whether there is something else, like a dislike of letting someone they’ve tried to get before going free.
