Hey, all you assholes who said that regicide is "always justified" in that thread a few months ago, I hope you're happy.

My condolences to the Dutch people on their losses.

So stupid. I'm from a "regicide country", yeah, I know, that's a long time ago now, but when we look at history, outside of the moral issue which is enough to find it unacceptable, it seems that regicide carries more problems than solutions. Here, we're still saying: "We've killed our king, it ruled nothing, look, we've the democracy with the most monarchist system".

Absolutely.  And, to the French's credit, neither Charles X nor Louis-Phillipe were executed after their abdications.  (Nor was Napoleon III, for that matter)  You might say that what happened to Louis XVI was a tragic aberration.
