Why did the people who physically assaulted another human being need to be prosecuted but the kid that stole some candy needed to die?

[Oskar Dirlewanger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oskar_Dirlewanger#Death) was _probably_ beaten to death, though the exact circumstances of his death seem to be uncertain. If there is _anyone_ in the history of mankind who was more deserving of being beaten to death than this guy, I have no fucking idea who it is.

How about the [Dachau reprisals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dachau_liberation_reprisals)? I’d say they definitely deserved it.

Here’s one up for debate, but I think anyone who breaks into a persons house multiple times over a period of time and eventually winds up getting shot or stabbed and killed by the home owner deserved to die.

You may go “Property is not worth taking a life for” but in my mind, the moment you break into somebody’s domain where they’re actively living in more than once it’s no longer about stealing to survive, rather it’s an intimidation game where the intruder is doing it deliberately to show their power over someone. If you read the news stories it’s always people who have broke in dozens of times and they make off with trivial amounts of cash or property but they continue to break in anyway knowing the home owner could do nothing about it. They know they’re terrorizing somebody but continue to do it anyway which shows they have a complete lack of empathy and aren’t doing it to feed their family. If the police can’t do anything about it and security systems don’t work, what else can a person do?

I second this nomination. Your post reminded me of a hair-raising eyewitness [account](http://www.warsawuprising.com/witness/schenk.htm) of the atrocities he and his band of scum perpetrated which I had stumbled across years ago. Just a small snippet of the bestial brutality on display:

> 
> “Or that little girl who unexpectedly came out of the cellar. She was thin and short, something about 12 years old. Torn clothes, disheveled hair. On one side we, on the other Poles. She was standing by the wall not knowing where to run. She raised her hands, and said Nicht Partizan. I waved with my hand that she shouldn’t be afraid and should come closer. She was walking with her little hands up. She was squeezing something in one of her hands. She was very close when I heard a shot. Her head bounced. A piece of bread fell out from her hand. In the evening the platoon leader, he was from Berlin, came up to me and said proudly: ‘It was a master shot. Wasn’t it?’ He smiled proudly."

But what a way to go. Yeesh.

Pleasure? No. Just the sad acknowledgement that some people do more harm in the world than good.

If [Darren Henry](http://dawnbreedon.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/HopeandHealingstorywpictures.pdf) hadn’t taken his own life, Dawn Breedon’s brothers would have murdered him. I’ve known Dawn for about 40 years, and I know that statement is true. Darren Henry deserved to die.

Because, you know, Libya is so much nicer now that he is gone . :rolleyes:

I guess getting rid of him has greatly reduced the world’s transliteration difficulties.
