504 people dead…26 people charged…1 convicted…these are the stats regarding the My Lai massacre. On that fateful day the US troops stormed into a small village in Vietnam and shot, scalped, mutilated and raped innocent and defenceless civilians. They received no opposing fire that day but managed to kill an estimated 504 people. Upon return from Vietnam just 26 people were charged and only 1 person was convicted, William Calley. How can one man be charged for 504 murders and there be no accountability? To make this worse, Calley was ordered to house arrest just one day after his sentence! Ultimately he served just 3 and a half years for these atrocities. So that is what I call a mockery of justice, where is the justice for the innocent women and children who were shot at point blank range? This is a country which opened guantanamo bay and allowed slavery for hundreds of years!The United States is a country that was founded on hatred, violence and lies so before the FBI chief describes the Lockerbie bombers release as a “mockery of justice” take a look at your own history! Don’t think that I condemn the release, because I completely disagree with it, however I don’t like the hippocracy of the United States in this!
