Era Pinochet The End

I find this decision has been taken a bit too late...nevertheless I applaud the effort of wanting such change. Pinochet has been a monster in every sense of the word and one of the most evil dictators and responsible for the killing of thousands of people.

Era Pinochet The End

Non-sense! The guy is a murderer and the house arrest is a joke and insult to the family of the victims. The guy is already on a wheelchair which means he cannot move around on his own, therefore, I see that this house arrest is not going to affect him at all. Shame.

Era Pinochet The End

As you mentioned earlier LDS, Pinochet should have been dealt with a long time ago. The fact that he is wheelchair bound and has been allowed to live to an old age is a disgrace.

In my opinion this is a good example of why we need an International criminal court. To make sure monsters like Pinochet are dealt with when a nation's judicial system is too corrupt to put him away.

I'm sorry but nothing has been lost. The guy was one of the worst and cold-blooded dictators in Latin-America, he did not feel sorry for the people he killed, who should feel sorry that he is dead now?
