Arkan: Infamous Serbian War Criminal/ War Hero

I stumbled on these videos while doing some mob research just now and they are startling!!! I know they are kind of long but my jaw dropped. Arkan argued with a reporter during the Kosovo war that he only killed "in battle". These videos just appeared on youtube last week, but they date back to the late 90s when Arkan gave several interviews with CNN, BBC and other foreign reporters insisting that he was, by no means, a war criminal. Arkan was assassinated in 2000 in a hotel in Belgrade surrounded by other guests. He was buried with military honors and a Serbian Orthodox ceremony attended by 20,000 people.

part 1 provides some back story and starts the interview...



aaaand part 2 is more in detail and more shocking, still...

Absolutley horrifying. Sadists exist and among us. I can never quite get a grip of it. thank you for exposing us to this war criminal. May your path never cross such a person, but if it soes, you and your readers will be more (can one be?) prepared.
