Of course it made him angry, he's the same as the people he thinks he's fighting. He tries to stick people into little boxes just like the proggies do.
Anyway, my quarantine is over. I get my test later this morning and then I can leave the house again. Woo Hoo!!!!
I will no longer see the value in the Internet so good knowing you bro, good luck in the future.
Don't be afraid to see what you see

Yeh the original was from FB. I googled it and found the Conversation. There were many incidents like that. US soldiers were hanged at Shepton Mallet, some for the crime of rape.
http://www.capitalpunishmentuk.org/sheptonm.html18 military executions were carried out at Shepton Mallet, representing 17% of the 96 executions of American servicemen serving in the European and North African Theatres of Operations (ETO). (Figures of 19 and even 21 executions in the UK have been given in some accounts but are definitely not correct.) Of these 18 men, nine were convicted of murder, six of rape and three of both crimes. Their racial mix was : ten African American, three Latino and five white - their average age was 21.5 years. 17 were Privates and one was a Corporal. None ranked higher than this.
Much has been made of the ethnic background of these men but very little of what they were convicted of. Also much is made of the alleged poor quality of the trials that these men received. In at least two cases, men had their death sentences commuted. (Thomas Bell who had been convicted of rape and George Fowler see below).
Bear in mind that a conviction for murder in Britain at this time carried a mandatory death sentence and that it was not unusual for civilian murder trials to only take a day or two. Rape did not carry the death penalty in British law but did in US Military law. Execution by shooting was not permitted for murder in Britain but was under US Military law. Rape was punishable by death in most of the southern states of America and in fact the last execution for rape in the USA took place in May 1964 when Ronald Wolfe was gassed in Missouri. Just over 300 rape executions (where the victim lived) were carried out between 1941 and 1964.
