    This maggot helped to kill my college roommate and the Scots are letting him go free based on "compassionate grounds". How much compassion did this walking piece of excrement have for the people he killed?

    He deserved to rot without treatment in the worst prison in the UK until he died. This ruling is a slap in the face to all those family members who have suffered since that day in December, 1988.

    Why would he reject transferring him to a prison in Libya?

    I mean, I agree with you, he should rot and die in their jail, but if it's between going absolutely free, or staying and dying in jail in Libya, I'd prefer he at least stay in prison. Fuck him. Compassion my ass.

    that's wack. i guess the scotts are trying to show how fucking humanisitic they are? when people do acts like this, they are no longer human and they do not deserve to have compassion no matter how much they reform.

    What a bunch of fucking pussies.


    btw. but did they give you straight A's? (urban legend if your roomate dies)

    It happened between Fall Semester and January term, just before Christmas. I was in Madrid that Fall (Scott was in London). I went from Madrid to Australia and New Zealand for six weeks. These were the days before e-mail and when calling internationally as a college student was just too expensive. I knew about Lockerbie, but it never occurred to me anyone I knew was on the plane, all they talked about were the Syracuse students.

    I got back to school, moved my stuff in our apartment and noted Scott hadn't yet arrived. I checked my mail at the campus center and there was a note to see the President. That's when they told me he had been killed.

    So no, I wasn't offered straight A's, although that was a good semester for me academically. To keep from thinking about The Hitman (his nickname), I buried myself in my studies.

    I hope the Scots have the Libyans come pick him up in a plane, and we pack some semtex in the cargo hold disguised as a radio. Now THAT would be justice.

    Semtex? Nah. Too quick. Put two or three Willy-Petes along the leading edge of each wing. Let 'em notice what's going on so they can enjoy the ride dowm.

    By the way, how does this decision by Scotland's government have anything to do with your Scottish "heritage"?

    Explain. I await the self-demonstration of your own stupidity.

    The decision was made by a Scot who was elected by Scots.

    Okay, what about Obama's decisions?

    I wasn't saying, "You must be embarrassed about being American everyday, then" because I believe it but because I find the title of this thread humorous.

    You disgraced at being Scottish because the government made a retarded decision? Ask any person in Lockerbie or Glasgow what they think about this and they'll be in agreement with most Americans.

    I didn't vote for him. Where I had power, I exercised it.

    So you're ruling out the majority of Scottish people who didn't vote for Salmond?

    Where's the outrage among the Scots? When people disagree with a decision their government made, they speak up. So far, we've heard crickets.

    Well, it's common sense.

    Why would they rejoice over the fact that a terrorist was released who killed hundreds of their country-men? Still looking for proof though, haha. :p
