We should have dumped him in the sea, so that there couldn’t have been a funeral.

How much sympathy does JFK honestly think the average American would have for one of our own who entered another country illegally and killed one of their cops?

When Britain had hanging, they buried them within the prison walls afterwards to stop crap like this.

Maybe if enough criminals are treated the way they treated their victims, some of these visiting criminals will stay home.
