    As a reminder, betraying your country to an invader is not typically a charge that meets with a jury trial.

      …and ends with a very quick sentence, even in countries where very quick sentences are otherwise frowned upon. Treason just seems to usually be an exception to the rule.

    Never collaborate with occupiers. Lots of people in Afghanistan learned that the hard way, too.

    Lots of people celebrating this guys murder. Sometimes I really wish reddit didn’t kill their api so you blood thirsty nuts would have stayed there.

      Celebrating?

      No.

      Unsurprised that his traitorous actions would lead to this?

      Also no.

        I felt sorry for the French girls who had their hair shaved off for dating Nazi officers. We really don’t know why they did it and I doubt it helped the occupiers very much.

        Pretty indifferent to this.

      I agree with your sentiment. People in Ukraine have right to be bloodthirsty, but it’s scary when people in Germany and UK in the comfort of their homes behave like that.

        I live about a hundred km from the nearest russian military base. Can I behave like that?

        Traitor sounds too soft compared to the word we got for it in Norway, but “traitors of a country” in war rarely rouse much sympathy.

        E.g. the majority of Norwegians are against the death penalty, but you would be hard pressed to find many opposing the decision to execute Quisling after the war.

    Gotta wonder if you all would feel this way about random US civilians who supported US wars of aggression being killed.

      A mayor of a town who worked with the enemy of his country, which is currently bombing civilians regularly, is not the same as a “random” citizen who supports their own country. Thats a mind bogglingly stupid comparison.

      That’s not exactly a 1:1 comparison, is it? And I say that as someone who personally wouldn’t give a fuck about those nationalists meeting their end at the hands of the victims of such a war.
