The FARC have been committing all sorts of crimes for decades now, and yet they expect to be given a slap on the wrist? This actually makes me wish more that they all get obliterated. If those criminals want to avoid imprisonment, maybe they should've, you know, not declare themselves an armed insurgency in the first place? I really hope whatever "peace" they're negotiating is just an elaborate ruse to get them to drop arms and then have their leaders arrested once things have calmed down enough.
