fall guys. patsies. the real guilty parties will just have to BBQ in purgatory for a good long time.

The moral of the story:
Stooges are expendable.

those who live by the sword, get other people to die by the sword.

There is *some* satisfaction at the fate of *some* who were implicit in the unconscionable perpetration.
I suspect it was given as some sort of appeasement "gift" to mitigate further intensive scrutiny of the "head honcho".
We all know who was ultimately responsible though, surely.

It does seem to depend on how high up the "Food Chain" you are.

Most people including Turkey where the crime happened think the Saudi royal family got away with one on this verdict.

the perfect crime, the brains behind it kills the bodies that did it or know anything about it. a travesty. no justice.

Welcome to the real world.

hindus refer to our wicked world as a "hell world," and for a damned good reason.

The hell you say!

Well it makes it look more convincing when you have 5 Lee Harvey Oswalds instead of one....

The royal family are of course able to go back to their normal lives jetsetting, taking alcohol/drugs and abusing slaves

this makes me hold tight to my belief in karma, like a drowning man to a vest in the ocean.
