Atrocities are coming (or already here)

[ChicagoRonin]

I'm calling it now. I would not be surprised if soon, or (God forbid) twenty years from now, someone is going to dig up evidence of an outright mass killing or mass grave of detained migrants.

Heck, all the factors are in place. And it has even previously happened in supposedly better circumstances.

A friend told me about how his grandfather confessed that some guys in his WWII platoon in Europe just pulled aside a bunch of the German soldiers they were supposed to be keeping prisoner and shot them all in cold blood. Clear violation of the Geneva Convention, but the platoon swept it under the rug.

Get enough people together with little supervision, accountability, and enough undisciplined hatred, and God knows what is possible.

5. Those Geneva Convention violations?

The depiction of such was cheered on in the movie, "Inglourious Basterds" just ten years ago. When I went to Chicago five years ago, I went back to the Museum of Science and Industry, where I visited as a kid. They still had the captured German submarine that I had been on, only this time, it was inside of a building (apparently, the weather was wearing it out), and there were displays of things found on the sub.

It was noted that the Geneva Conventions were broken by not informing the Germans that the sailors on the sub had been taken prisoner and were still alive. Had the Allies done so, the Germans would have realized that the Allies had the sub's Enigma machine and codebook, which came in handy for the upcoming D-Day invasion. In war, the ends always justify the means.

If you're the winner.
