Do they not have the death penalty? that's what he should have gotten (in my opinion).

Trump would have pardoned him.

France, EU, Israel and America not happy.

Only one guy sentenced (arrested)....really? That tells you something right there. 118 to 1. 🤔

Please ask about

Dead penalty is a must for certain cases..Dead for ISIS militants...

What were they gonna do give him parole?
