Attempt at history revision noted.
First a recap.
The murders in France are murders by criminals, not enemy combatants.
You clearly state they are not combatants. A combatant is a combatant if he says he is. This is not debatable.
I point this out. That isn't how they see it. You say the are not enemy combatants.
That isn't how they see it. And that does not change the punishment, which should be execution.
I point out if they are enemy combatants then they die by the sword of the military. If they are not and are merely murdering criminals then they die by the sword of civil authority. No difference.
Your response to my rebuttal of you saying they are not enemy combatants is;
Which civilised nation executes prisoners of war?
They are now enemy combatants so you can oppose the death penalty of a murderer. The liberal hopes I fall for the rabbit trail.
You don't want murderers executed.
