In Russia, Revenge Gets You Glory

If it were really an act of revenge – wouldn’t he have killed the wife and two kids instead?

An eye for an eye – not an eye for a nose, right?

Indeed this is heroism? Pretty sick if you ask me.

Knock knock, its irony at the door. I hope he can handle what he’s preaching.

I have to wonder how much of the response is influenced by nationalism. I think if it had been a Russian man stabbing a Russian air traffic controller, tried in Russian courts, the response would be less in his favor. I cann’t read the article, and it’s foolish to make assumptions with this little information, but the tone of the extract suggests that some sort of narrative has been created out of the incident.

We in Russia have a saying – « do not judge and not judges awake ». You were not on its place and I hope never will appear in such situation. It moved despair. Vitaly Kaloyev’s long was not married, and here, at last, when at it has appeared, the wife and two remarkable children, all has failed because of a human negligence! It did not wish whom to kill, but it has lost to dear 3 it people. And you judge it here and argue.
No, at us it not the hero, its hero journalists of mass-media have nicknamed! For us it the person at whom happens to mountain! Here to it concern all on ???????????! Its All family supports it! And many hope, that it will find the happiness again!

So, according to that, now the kids of the murdered air traffic controller can come and kill some other family members of Kaloyev, right? Deeply humanistic, man-to-man world my ass.

if this carried. on in the way it started, russia and switzerland would be de-populated pretty swiftly. i wouldn’t mess with the swiss. they have to have guns by law and they’re ALL in the army…

i bet killing that guy won’t make his loss disappear in the long run anyway

Kaloyev all has made correctly who is stronger that and has survived. If so someone was necessary from above, the air traffic controller could kill Kaloyev. Also will suffice to discuss, you there is nothing do not know about Russia, you there is nothing do not know about Kaloyev?!

Kirkburn, I also did not speak, that revenge it is good. It is assured if your family have killed, you would be silent, sat and not that did. In fact revenge on yours it is bad! And it also did not revenge, it was able to affect. At us different mentalities, Russian so are brought up that except for itself(himself) nobody can to help them, to the state to spit, and other countries use it. A negligence here that the most terrible! Instead of revenge …

That’s awful.
Two familes destroyed.

Two planes crashed into each other. That had to cause far more deaths than just those of his wife and children. Why was the air traffic controller not already in jail himself for criminal negligence? The Russian man may have killed a man. But how many did the victim kill by not properly doing his job?

I bet the ATC was sitting at home laughing and joking about all the people he had killed… not!

Proper sentence for ATC = life sentence tops.
Proper sentence for Russian guy = life in prison.

One was a “mistake”, one was a deliberate murder.

Nor should the Russian guy get sentenced to death, that’s murder too. There’s a reason countries with death sentences aren’t allowed to enter the EU.

I would do the same thing.

I agree with Vincent, it was NOT NEGLIGENCE on the part of Peter Nielsen that caused the crash, but rather, incompetent practices on the part of Skyguide management. I also understood Kaloyev’s grief but cannot comprehend the fact that he continuosly deny any premeditation of the act. HOW CAN HE SAY THAT “HE JUST WANT TO SPEAK TO MR NIELSEN TO OBTAIN AN APOLOGY” WHEN IN FACT HE HAS IN HIS HAND A 22-INCH KNIFE!

Another thing, the RUSSIAN PRESS, as well as SKYGUIDE, is to blame for putting the blame solely on Peter Nielsen, which may have contributed to the vengeful passion of Mr Kaloyev.

And p.s., in my country somewhere here in Southeast Asia, blood revenge is more common, so I am quite familiar with the factors involved in the tragedy. But I find the practice of blood revenge awful as it does not resolve any dispute.
