So the UK is a misandrist shithole, murdering people for the "crime" of being male?

[-] scholar@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

No, this was an illegal, unofficial policy enacted by the special forces themselves and covered up by their superiors. The reason that we're hearing about it now is because of a BBC investigative report which has led to an official inquiry.

Well murder is, by definition, an unlawful killing. So yes.

Agents of the government were engaged in unlawful killing of people for the crime of being male (and non-white, as other commenter pointed out), involving a significant conspiracy.

We'll see what sort of punishment they receive for their crimes, if convicted.

Silly you, it's not a crime being male. It's a crime being non white (and male).

[-] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

The article also cites a cover-up of an incident where they killed women and kids. They gave the murderer an award to make it look legitimate.

Non-white would seem to be the primary factor here, in that proud Anglo-American tradition.

My bad, you are correct.
