CBS News report<\/a>s that the judge in the Robert Bales murder case has accepted his guilty plea taking the death penalty off the table for the nearly-40-year-old who murdered 16 Afghans on March 11, 2012. Apparently, some Afghans are not happy with the American justice system;<\/p>\n

The brother of Mohammad Daud, who was slain in the massacre, told CBS News Thursday that, “If the United States does not apply the death penalty to Bales for this criminal and murderous behavior, then it shows America is encouraging its soldiers to kill Afghan people, destroy and torch their houses, then come to America (and receive) a Medal of Honor.”<\/p>\n

Haji Baran continued, “We do not accept Americans’ law. We request (the) Afghanistan and American governments to sentence to death this murderer. If the American judiciary system gives him a life sentence for these murders, and lets him free in a couple of years, then we will do anything we could, even fight with American soldiers and kill them here in Afghanistan.”<\/p>\n

“A prison sentence doesn’t mean anything,” said Said Jan, whose wife and three other relatives were slain. “I know we have no power now. But I will become stronger, and if he does not hang, I will have my revenge.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As soon as someone else reads the news to the rest of the illiterate, Taliban-supporters, I’m sure they’ll start killing each other over this. I’m not defending Bales in any way, shape or form, but if the Afghans had got this upset over the Taliban killing many more of their citizens a decade or so ago, we wouldn’t even be there now. So, when I see them dragging insurgents out into the streets to execute them, I’ll start caring about their opinion of American law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
