First we have to agree on whats a criminal.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 2y agoSure. I propose...a trial.
- immibis 2y agoKangaroo court it is. We say you're a movie pirate, so you are one. Life in prison for you. ...that is a summary of Kim's trial. Movie companies own the government.
- philippejara 2y agoIs that going to be a trial by the laws of the land he resides in and not to a foreign country that the defendant is not a citizen nor a resident nor operates out of and that refuses to guarantee the same protections under the law to a non-citizen compared to a citizen[1]? This same foreign country who passed laws for invading the hague if they came under trial for crimes in the ICC. [1]: See assange's bid for first amendment's guarantees when the same foreign country was trying to extradite and "trial" him
- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoHe moved to New Zealand after much of the alleged criminal conduct, in a deal where he was pretty explicitly buying residency to the point that immigration authorities tried to keep it a secret.

- philippejara 2y agoHe didn't move to new zealand from the US so I struggle to see how that is relevant, it's not HK or Germany looking to extradite him.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 2y agoIf New Zealand says he can be extradited and stand trial in the US then that's the law. International law is a strange beast.
- account42 2y agoGenereally such a trial would take place in the jurisdiction of the accused unless the crime was physically committed somewhere else.
