I want to be clear that I have no time or sympathy for terrorists, and was horrified by what has happened to innocent people in NYC. I think that those who are found guilty of terrorist acts should face harsh punishment.
However I thought that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. In the light of that how can Trump's statement that the chief suspect be executed be justified? I think it is shameful frankly…how is the suspect supposed to get a fair trial now that the most powerful person in the US - the Head of State no less - has said at the outset that he is guilty and should be killed? I think that this is scandalous and shocking.
