Even a Third World country can get this right. Sending across the toughest message, the authorities in Yemen executed and then hanged from a crane three men convicted of raping and killing a 10-year-old boy in front of hundreds of onlookers. https://www.timesnownews.com/i...a-yemen-video/267403 And meanwhile in Tennessee, they finally got around to getting rid of this POS. He's been on death row since 1986 for committing the same crimes. On Thursday night, Tennessee executed Billy Ray Irick, 59, for the 1985 rape and murder of 7-year-old Paula Dyer. He's the first death row inmate Tennessee executed since 2009. http://theweek.com/speedreads/...turous-drug-cocktail | ||

Meanwhile, in England, you get jailed if you try to point out the criminals? "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." L.Tolstoy "A government is just a body of people, usually, notably, ungoverned." Shepherd Book | |||

And of course the media journalist makes it terrible with no mention of the horrors suffered by the child. | |||

This woman is a narcissist. It wasn't her 7 year old little girl, so she's unable to see what a monster that poor little girl's murderer really was. You can bet that if it had been her daughter, she would have been just fine with him being executed - she'd only be pissed that it took 33 freakin' years to happen. | |||

A bullet would be a lot quicker and painless if applied to the back of the head . If they're really worried about the "humane" method. Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago. | |||

Did you read the same link? It was neutral and simply reported what happened. I didn't see anything that made me think the reporting was trying to make the executions out to be especially terrible. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

< grammar nazi on > Based on that statement, as written, three weren't enough. The hundreds of onlookers to the rape and killing are deserving of the same fate. < grammar nazi off > As for the condemned in Tennessee, if he suffered even a little bit, I'm okay with that.

Hopefully, they had the right three guys. It is astonishing how casual some are about this. I recall sitting at a hotel in Switzerland with a Saudi man I dealt with. The Saudis had just arrested and promptly beheaded 6 men claimed to be responsible for Khobar Towers bombing. I asked him if he thought they were the ones who did it. “Could be, maybe,” he said in a tone of voice suggesting a gratifying coincidence but not critically important in the grand scheme. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

My remarks were towards the execution of the Tennessee man. I agree they need to be sure. Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago. | |||

He confessed when they first arrested him. | |||

Just because the Yemeni court executed three men doesn't necessarily mean the right three men were killed. The American justice system is quite unique in the protections its affords defendants (read that as "making sure we get it right). In China, for instance, their judges work with their prosecutors ("procuratorate") to convict people charged of crimes. They wouldn't admit to me that this amounted to a presumption of guilt, but hey, if the person who's going to determine guilt and sentencing already thinks you done it before the trial starts, well. . . Oh yes, no such thing as a jury trial in China. Probably not in Yemen, either. In many systems, if there's enough political pressure to find someone guilty, someone will be found guilty: could be anyone, right guy, wrong guy, doesn't matter, but he'll be found guilty for damn sure, just to prove the system works. | |||

Ummmm....no. No it won't, provided the appropriate dose is given. Additionally, there is no pain associated with this. You go to sleep and you die. Simple as that. Completely painless. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Dear Supreme Court libs, Could it not be considered that sitting on death row for 30 years is not cruel and unusual punishment? If the verdict is guilty and the sentence is death, carry out the execution in a reasonable and prompt manner.

Why single out England? Why not include Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, too? And why just UK? Why not Iceland or Ecuador? Or is it just English-speakers? Republic of Ireland, maybe? New Zealand? Tonga? tac | |||

Those who say that there is no cure for pedophilia have apparently never been to Yemen. | |||

They execute people in Yemen for witchcraft so this is just more mob violence. Easy way to get rid of a competitor or the competition. ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||
