  1. I have only one problem with a public execution. On one hand a public execution proves that the sentence was carried out and that crime has drawbacks. On the other hand it does not edify the populace so much as allow them to have a cheap thrill (cheap for them). My biggest problem is did the authorities apprehend the right people?

  2. The issue is one of the nature of the institutions of justice. In civilized nations you work on a certain basis. You use due process. There has to be reasonable proof that the accused did it and you can’t use horrific public punishments to say, for example, discourage people from being Republicans or Tea Party members etc. Which is partly what makes Obama such a monster. Using the IRS for that exact purpose.

    Once you have established beyond a reasonable doubt that a person is actually guilty of a serious crime such as murder or slavery etc. then I am less concerned about the punishment as that is a different debate. I post this for what the article doesn’t say.

    How did they know these guys did it? Or are they just enemies of the regime in some way?

  3. In a civilized nation we consider it a failure of the hangman if the condemned kick and flop about on the rope: we want a short drop and a sharp snap and instant death. All the muzzlum hangings i have seen are deliberately cruel affairs in which breaking the neck is carefully avoided. Like halal slaughter, it is deliberate and institutionalized cruelty.
