re: #357 SteveMcGazi

I was just finishing a book about the US Army in WW2 called The Guns at Last Light. In the Epilogue it told the story of Joachim Peiper, whose troops committed the Malmedy Massacre at the Battle of the Bulge. His death sentence was commuted, but the book continues to mention that in 1976 he burned to death when his house was firebombed and all of the hoses at the local firehouse had been cut. The crime was never solved.
I thought that was awesome!

Instead of being judged, Peiper was effectively lynched. That’s not justice and its not “awesome”. If you doubt that, imagine if the person killed had been a former Black Panther whose home was burned down by white Southerners.
