If someone witness murder, but he doesn't report it, instead he helped to cover it up, has he broken the law?

If someone witness murder, but he doesn't report it, instead he helped to cover it up, has he broken the law?

If so why weren't the Americans who supported their troops sent to jail?

Any trick question has a tricky answer. Our troops have murdered others in order to protect our United States boundaries. Now if you call that murder, than you should not be living here. You should return to your homeland and hope that your government does not hang you for not defending your country.

Uhh, yeah, that's obstruction of justice, if not accomplice to murder if you helped cover it up.

Military killings are not considered murder by law...any country w/ military branches see it this way...it's not just America.

killing camel jockey's in a war isn't a crime.they should get medals.you should pull your head out of your butt

Yes, you're an accessory. War is a different matter all together.

You walked in to landmine, buddy.

If you would have said "President" instead of "Troops", some of us would laugh and kiddingly agree.

But you appear to be against the U.S. troops. That's a BIG mistake on a site based in the United States, with a majority of U.S. users. We don't all support our President, or what he's ordered our soldiers to do, but we support the troops (almost) whole-heartedly.

We want them safe, and we want then to come home. And accusing them of murder is the WRONG thing to do!

Witnessing the murder of people is not what most Americans have done. Nor have they "covered it up". And EVERY country's peoples support their troups (in most cases).

First question, yes.

Second question, killing in wartime is not legally considered murder.


answer faerie, V.T., A. M.
yes, accessory after the fact.
those weren't considered murder by legal definition.

Really a dumb question!!! So you think troop supporters should go to jail for complicity to murder? I don't now about you! You're pretty scary.

war s different. If it was like on the streets then that person would be a co-conspirator.


aprils242001
I can't believe you asked that question. Because of dumb people like there has to be someone that has to support them. That is the wrong question to be asking on here. What about all of those be people that lost there lives on 9/11 guess you forgot about those people. Or what about the troops that have lost there lives. You need to stop thinking about those people too.
