Bosnian Serb war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic arrested
- Thread starter Nemo
- Start date
Apparently he was working as a alternative practioner, at the press conference ironically for such a mass murderer the photo they exhibited of a white haired bushy bearded pensioner made me think of some of the characters you see at peace fairs, rallies, etc.
and yes, he was a member of the Green Party!

Ironic, this. Karadzic would have signed it in a heartbeat... and then acted upon it...
Can you see the difficulty in your post?
It doesn surprise me Romantic Nationalism and New Age Twattery have a long shared history.

Strange: if one doesn't like people, then one can't trust them, then one has to defend oneself, because the darker the picture of Human Nature one paints the more force one needs, then that starts a specific social dynamics and then, bit by bit, one starts... well, what Karadzic, Hitler, Pol Pot, Idi Amin and the lot did...

If I were planning a political move that might eventually lead to me becoming an international fugitive, I'd grow a huge bushy beard before starting. Then, if it all went wrong, I could safely shave it off and no-one would have the slightest idea who I was.

I'm looking forward to the "Karadzic cured my dog's depression" stories.

good.
lets just say that this man (and a couple of others) are mainly responsible for my world view and disdain of humanity.
I dont really do "hate" (its a waste of energy and such a strong term) but i hate this man.
The feelings that my hatred csaues is truely ironic I will agree but I really hope that the twat gets justice.

Well, well. Funny how he made such a convincing practitioner of alternative medicine. Let's hope they find Mladic working as an astrologer on Serbian breakfast TV next.

That's a pretty good disguise tbf
Beards make a huge difference to men that age, it's the saggy jowls.
What's really fucking weird is that my dad has a big "salt-and-pepper" beard, which he shaved off recently to see what it would look like. He looked fucking scary and my stepmother made him grow it back. She said, and I quote, "it makes you look like a Serbian war criminal".

Coming up just after the break we've got Mystic Mladic with the lottery, then we're off to the Hague...

I heard it was a foreign agent who found him. So much for Serbian good will.
I don't understand why his capture should facilitate Serbian's membership in the EU. Now if the Serb police had turned the country over I could see it but shit, the guy wasn't exactly "in hiding" was he.

...shame, they will be even more pissed off when hes convicted of being a murdering cunt
according to his brother karadzic is:
" proud of everything that happened there. And this is not a question about Radovan Karadzic and his destiny. The question is what he did for the Serbian people and what he did for the other side, for Muslims and Croats"
referining to the events of the balkens war in the 90s
if he so proud why did he feel the need to hide out and look like great uncle bulgaria?

Because he is a sociopath. No conscience whatsoever. No reflection and deffo no self-reflection. There is nothing to be proud of, just a lot of destruction for no gain, as soon they'll all be in the EU etc. etc. So, even by his own standards and values/objectives: whatever for?!?
Indeed, he had other options. Some of his fellow sociopaths even came to the Hague of their own accord. Some repented, some haven't. But his was the most cowardly and most idiotic, not to mention hypocritical of decisions!

Why am I not fucking surprised?
But this kind of reaction will peter out the closer Serbia gets to being in the EU. Which the giving up of Rado, however it was achieved, is going to bring about more quickly. Not soon, but more quickly. And events tonight makes it even more likely things will be sped up.
So it's all self-reinforcing, really.
