Censor him.

Mmm-hmm.

Quote:“A no quarter order is a war crime, prohibited even in actual insurrection since Abraham Lincoln‘s signed the Lieber Code in 1863,” conservative attorney David French tweeted. “Such an order is banned by international law and would, if carried out, be murder under American law.”

This is why I chuckle when some conservatives on this board pat themselves on the back over which party is the REAL facist party.

The current iteration of the conservative movement is happy and willing to support those who would use military might to squash dissent and commit war crimes. Trump himself has been defended for statements condoning violence and mistreating suspects and those arrested by police.

Again, the slow learners are unable to put context. Yay.

If the request were to summarily execute Antifa, you might be correct. Any addled person can see that this is not.

I guess you are unfamiliar that it, aside from very specialized meaning of 'summarily execute survivors and prisoners', also has a more common usage.

Yet you two squawkers seem either completely oblivious to that, or intentionally oblivious.

Area Volleyball: Wethersfield sweeps United

Hmm, I guess according to lad the Wethersfield volleyball team not just beat their rivals at a game, but then hog-tied them, drug them out to the parking lot, and bayoneted them. Only in lad-world.....

Liberal (bleep) for brains playbook: take any word with a normal figurative meaning, and a meaning within a highly specific field, and automatically assume that the common figurative meaning has no import.

Once again we have the whack a mole pulling a garbage comment out, and lad taking the cheese and running full monty with it. Classic. I really dont expect this absolute level of inanity from Rice folk......
