PARIS, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Six teenagers go on trial behind closed doors on Monday, accused of involvement in the beheading of French history teacher Samuel Paty by a suspected Islamist in 2020 in an attack that struck at the heart of the country’s secular values.

The teacher had shown his pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a class on freedom of expression, angering a number of Muslim parents. Muslims believe that any depiction of the Prophet is blasphemous.

      Did we?

      The only source I can find on such a thing is post Nuremberg trials, and it was ten nazi generals that definitely deserved it.

      I did find a source for 23,000 out of 35,000 deserting Nazis were killed by their own party for fleeing war, so maybe you were thinking of that while being a nazi?

        The point is that you do not actually need to have killed anyone yourself for you to get the most severe punishment available. If they’re a fascist, put them before a court and let them be judged. But there’s a problem. The people are not yet antagonized against fascism enough. Too many people are accepting or indifferent of it.

            So people shouldn’t be opposed to fascism? Seems more like you’re the 14 year old and have watched too much Shen Babipo

              Oh no they should, they should just make sure the kids they want to label as such and then justify their punishment boner with are actually fascists and not just dumb kids.

              Nice bait though!
