I am watching a BBC doc about the Nuremberg trials. It is overall propagandizing against the concept of trying crimes against humanity at all. Due to, as described, the british position: it'll just be another chance for the defendants to present their position to the world so better to hang them and be done with it.

Q: Agree/disagree with the above? Both in the specific instance, and in general.

It was the first, but not the last, such proceeding. What are we learning from subsequent?

idk, i think it makes your arguments to be quite lame if right after making them you get shot in the head, idk, i might just be built different

trial to determine whether we shoot them in the head immediately or get some guy who simultaneously doesn't know what he's doing and knows exactly what he's doing to intentionally botch the hangings

I think it rather punctuated Guevara's argument, not that I think it would do the same for some freak proclaiming that he is dying for the Volk.

execution by firing squad is reserved for elites and officers. these ones were hung t emphasize of their low, degraded situation. the ones who were sentenced to death, anyway. which wasn't all of them. within a few years, most of them were free.
