2. Does it really matter from a basic human rights/moral perspective? Also, it was the US, as far as I know, that got him arrested for something in a different country. I think this poster demonstrates the tragedy of all this well.
No, but I'm saying that the laws of the lands are quite different.
Also, the U.S. is arresting him but he's being detained in New Zealand. If it was the 50 years that this suggests, then it would have been from New Zealand.
Just that this image pisses me off because whoever made it is completely uninformed and is convincing others to believe this untrue shit.
THANK YOU
This image is some guy talking out of his ass, and ignoring the fact that Schmitz was embezzling and laundering money.

Comparing how X country deals with the law isn't really the point, the point is how ludicrous the situation is. Both guys are/were facing 50 years for two very different offenses. I think we can all agree on which is worse, regardless of what country it took place in or where the trial is being held.

I'm not debating that. I'm debating the merits and facts that the image is suggesting.

I agree that the image is misleading in saying that the MU guy has already been sentenced, but the fact that he might be imprisoned longer than a murdering rapist is still batshit crazy.

Yes. I think it's batshit crazy a rapist is only getting 20 years.

I never said that that part wasn't wrong. It is. Guy deserves at LEAST twice that. I'd say life, personally.
But that wasn't what I was arguing.

If it were up to personal vendettas, the world could delve into anarchy.
(Personally, I don't see why we can't have involuntary human experimentation for inmates part-way their 20+ sentences. Hm. Some countries probably do actually.)
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis. Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.
