What’s with Serbs and their thinking that murderers are heros?
Sic semper tyrannis!
And this past June, on the 100th anniversary of the assassination of the Archduke and his wife, in Sarajevo they dedicated a statue of Gavrilo Prinzip, with a reenactor firing a pistol into the air twice to commemorate the fatal shots that would ignite the Great War.
Well, I remember such a discussion we had in my senior high school World Cultures class back in 1985 where there is a logic which goes, “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.” I know in the grand scheme of the Universe, there is good and evil so I’m just bringing this up for discussion. I’m of Serbian heritage myself, my last name points to where I’m of Kosovar Serb decent. Princip, myself, I can’t say if he was a hero or zero, I’ll let each person decide for themselves, but we cannot deny that he did change history. I think Princip should have been the “Man of the 20th Century” due to the influence of his actions. Even so, if it was not for Princip, some other man, people or event(s) most likely would have presented the casus belli for World War I at some point.
