Known war criminals: One thing every whole-hearted person has in common is a delight in seeing justice rightly served. Sure, in an ideal world, no one should be happy to learn of a fellow human being’s longterm imprisonment or execution. However (in case you haven’t noticed) the world isn’t a perfectly ideal one. There are people spread throughout all history and geography who, for no evident reason other than pure hatred and bloodlust, have committed or been accessory to gruesome crimes against humanity.

And when we see these monsters pay for their actions with their their freedom, we know that the world is that much closer to being an ideal one.
But, sometimes, evil men are able to walk away from their crimes, with neither chain on their limbs nor noose around their necks. This sort of escape from trial doesn’t call for respect in the same way that we respect (and even sensationalize) the stories of clever outlaws, like Jesse James or Billy the Kid. These are war criminals who murdered, raped, and tortured civilians in circumstances that were of no strategic benefit to warfare. To see such soullessness go unpunished, to know that the memories of their victims will remain unavenged, disturbs even the most neighbourly among us.
So, neighbour, you’re invited to grit your teeth as you learn about ten of these men, and the crimes they were never punished for.
10. Joseph Stalin

Despite being one of the men responsible for eradicating Hitler’s evil regime, Joseph Stalin was far, far from being devoid of evil himself. Throughout the course of his savage 30-year rule over the Soviet Union, Stalin is estimated to have been responsible for up to 60 million unnatural deaths.
Just one example of his inhumanity is the sexual assault of two million German women during the final days of World War II, as the Russian army was making its way into Berlin. Far from reprimanding his army for their actions, Stalin hailed them, saying people must “understand it if a soldier who has crossed thousands of kilometres through blood and fire and death has fun with a woman…” Stalin never faced trial for any of his countless crimes. He died in bed, still in power, in 1953.
