Then you have no clue about the Khmer Rouge. However much you mourn the loss of one 61yo prison inmate and alleged child abuser, and however hyperbolic that makes you think you need to be to make a point, it hardly amounts to the class extermination of as many as 3 MILLION Cambodians. Seriously. Get a grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saakura Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Cant understand how anybody can ever get any sexual feeling for a 4 year old child. It has to be some kind of inborn disorder a person is born with. Anyone with such a disorder is better off being medically castrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In these sorts of cases people forget the core issue - namely, that prisoners are left to die in captivity because there is no medical assistance for them. The guy could have been in for theft or murder and still would have suffered the same fate. I am sure this man did have some inborn disorder and I am certain life would have been largely unpleasant for someone with this sexual proclivity. This doesn't mean that he and other prisoners should be denied basic human rights, including medical treatment, when incarcerated. He did the crime and was doing the time - but did he deserve to die because the prison doesn't even provide basic medical assistance? Show some basic humanity rather than allowing your prejudices to blind you to injustice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAMHERE Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 RIP. Conviction in a Cambodian court of law doesn't mean you are guilty, I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenchair Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 If it is only 1 girl making the alegation, he has a high probability of being innocent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
