Compassion?
This week the government of Scotland released the lone person convicted of bringing down Pan American flight 103 over Lockerbee Scotland over 20 years ago. Hundreds of innocent travelers, many of them Americans, lost their lives in this horrific incident. The bomb was carried aboard the flight in a suitcase and was set to detonate over the ocean. However, because the flight was late, it wound up being brought down over the Scottish town destroying many homes and killing people on the ground as well.
The convicted terrorist was diagnosed with colon cancer which has been classified as terminal. Because of this, the government of Scotland approved the release on compassionate grounds. Compassion, really? Has the criminal shown any compassion on his own part? His arrival in Libya to cheers and confetti doesn't show me any remorse, let alone compassion. Has he even voiced his regret......to anyone? What about the families of the victims....any compassion thrown in their direction? The law has been mocked big time!
And last but not least comes the victims themselves. When is their release to their families expected? Oh, that's right, their remains have already been released to their families. Not very compassionate, if you ask me.
