Talk:Puniša Račić

nationalist comment

I have removed a Serbian nationalist comment stating that Račić is the biggest Serbian hero ever.

Someone who kills three other politicians in parlement hasn't got a clue of what democracy is and is absolutely no hero. Besides, I don't think Wikipedia is the place to express you nationalistic thoughts!

At that time, the democracy was not even born in Europe, so telling that Punisa's act is not a clue of democracy politician is insubstantial. At that time in Serbia and in the whole (ex)Kindom of Yugoslavia was "cold war" between Serbian and Croatian politican party which culminate at the World War II and later at the first quarter of 90's.

Indeed, I am not justify Punisa's act, but I am only saying that it was natural way (in that time) to express his felling against malicious, enviable, atrocious politicians like Stjepan Radic, his brother Pavle and Djuro Basaricek and many others.

"Thou plundered beys!", "How much Serbian head cost, we can paid" was several of the hundred provocations ouspoken by Crotian politicians those years in the Yugoslavian Parliament...

Pierre, You must read several books about history of Yugoslavia from beginning of 1900's until now, and than come here and discuss of something...These sentences that you wrote are pointless...

So you're saying that in the 1920's it was acceptable to shoot someone for offending you? Check your own facts... Also who let Racic enter the Parliament with a gun? Definitely NOT the usual procedure - and besides, this fact shows what kind of politics he believed in...

If there was a cold war between Croats and Serbs how come one of Račić's targets was the serb Svetozar Pribićević?Dejvid 20:06, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I really don't see the point of this line of discussion. No, he wasn't a hero. A person who shoots another person for insulting him cannot be considered a hero by any stretch of imagination. Nemanja.Ciric (talk) 15:15, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

double jeopardy

I see that the edit about double jeopardy (him being tried twice) was butchered by someone with serious problems :) and that Operaman edited out the bias. I suggest that the original version be returned. If need be, we can discuss the merrits of what was written, but I feel that it's an important point to stress.

sourcing

Very poorly sourced article. Does anyone who actually wrote this want to also include their sources?184.149.5.3 (talk) 18:13, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Dragoslav Račić

Dragoslav Račić was born as Dragoslav Miletić. As a nom de guerre, he took his great-grandfather's nickname Rača and made his surname Račić.

Dragoslav's father was named Stevan and Dragoslav was not the son of Puniša Račić. How did that rumour even begin? – PidgeCopetti (talk) 23:40, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
