Gitmo Hunger Strike reaches 100th day

[The2ndAmendment]

Hunger strikers who have been force-fed describe it as the final humiliation. There are three stages to the pain, firstly there is the sensation of a tube being forced past their sinuses into their throat, which causes their eyes to water, then an intense burning and gagging sensation as it goes down the throat and finally when the tube enters the stomach there is a strong urge to vomit. When the tube has delivered the ‘food’, it triggers the most painful sensation of all: the return of hunger.

You really want to give this tyrannical regime your guns?

Why not just airdrop them out of a plane at 25,000 feet without a chut and be done with them?

Seeing that Ron Paul Supporters and gun enthusiasts are on the terrorist watch list, I'd prefer we use Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution to deal with "terrorists" instead.

It's their choice, so be it. Let them perish as desired.

I agree. Give me liberty, or give me death.


However, you obviously failed to read the article. They are force feeding them and tortuting them so they'll eat.

Fuck Anonymous. They are little more than terrorists themselves.

Why is there even an argument? Of course these prisoners have a right to starve themselves to death. Anyone who believes in an ounce of freedom would give them that.

I blame the hunger strikes on Hollywood. How can the Gitmo prisoners feel good about themselves when terrorists in movies are always thin and in great shape? As a culture we need to stop putting so much emphasis on physical beauty so our terrorists don't engage in radical diets. Stories of bulimia and anorexia infesting our terror cells has always troubled me. How can we call ourselves a compassionate people when we place unrealistic goals in the minds of people who would kill us?

This is the most ironically hilarious post of all time.

Hey, let's imprison these guys without habeas corpus, waterboard the living fuck out of them, deny them a real trial, completely destroy their lives, keep them in prison indefinitely without ever having to prove they belong there, but for God's sake let's not force them to eat. We believe in freedom!

 

[g5000]

Every time anyone talks about putting these alleged criminals on trial and sending them to a US prison, some of the yellowest cowardly homos to ever walk the Earth from the Right start screaming in terror over the very prospect.

Oh...my...Gawd! Put them in prison...HERE!?!?! They'd be, like, a terrorist magnet...or something!


Never mind we have already tried and imprisoned a bunch of terrorists in US courts and put them in US prisons already. Ignore that!

 

[OldUSAFSniper]

The residents of Gitmo are having a hunger strike?

Wow... and I care because????

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Sigh....it would have been over with had we not force fed them.
The best solution would have been to give them a choice. Eat or we'll put you up against the wall and shoot you.
If the plan is to starve yourself to death,why wait for that to happen?
We can put you on the express train to your virgins.

Liberals especially hold that every individual has the freedom to make life and death decisions for themselves. In some states it is the law. Are they competent to decide whether or not to end thier lives? That's the only question. If they are, the ordinary laws regarding assisted suicide should apply.

Force feeding on the other hand is a form of torture and has been held to be a form of torture by the united nations and recognized in muslim countries as a form of torture.

You might, in total ignorance, think that force feeding is putting them in front of a plate and telling them they can't get up until all the veggies are gone. Force feeding means a tube is inserted in the nose, forced through the sinus cavity, past the gag reflex and down into the stomach and then food is pressured through the tube. In order to perform this very painful procedure, the person's body is immobilized, the head is immobilized by leather straps. Sadly, when the tube goes through the gag reflex the person is lying down making retching an agony.

These men have the absolute right, as human beings, to decide to end their lives and should be afforded the dignity of choosing their own method of doing so.

Don't compare the founders with those slimeballs.

Because if you dissent or oppose BIG GOV you and I might end up there.

The Founders spit on you. Article 3, Section 3 of the US Constitution exists for a reason, so does Habeas Corpus and the right to trial by jury.

Let them die, nobody cares.

 

[eagle1462010]

I really don't care. If they don't want to eat let them starve.
