The Taliban hung the dead bodies of three alleged criminals in public view in Afghanistan on Tuesday — a shocking display reminiscent of the Islamic militant group’s brutal regime of the late 1990s.

The alleged criminals were killed by man after they tried to break into his home, deputy governor Mawlawi Shir Ahmad Muhajir told AFP.

Their corpses were hoisted from two cranes in the Obe district in northeast Herat.

The gruesome scene was similar to another public hanging of a dead body in the central square of Herat less than two weeks ago.

In the earlier instance, the person was among four alleged criminals who were killed by police when they tried to kidnap a father and son.

The other three bodies were displayed in other parts of the city.

7th Century society, I mean does this surprise you anymore.

I hope crap like this will be the death kneel for “regime change and spreading democracy” for it is clear it does not work especially in parts of this world.

Sad truth.

[central_va]

Yes, the sign of a primitive society is the same death penalty for all crimes.

“Sad truth.”

It is, and I am to the point if someone believes otherwise then that person is a damn fool, and I will do my best to vote against or vote out anyone D or R that still believes in that.

I would hope so, but at the risk of sounding overly cynical, some technocrat or war monger is going to look at Afghanistan and think that they can do better.

Gropin’ Joe’s pals.

There’s not enough cycles, and recycles of this same behavior over centuries? To think that it will ever change might be a sign of insanity at this point.

So I guess any government that deals with this and thinking that the outcome is going to be any different - must be insane.

Might help reduce crime here.

Makes more sense these days.

[nikos1121]

Look like CAT Excavators

[gundog]

Yeah. And it’s not like people aren’t killed when they break into houses in America.

[TexasFreeper2009]

I have no problem with this, they were criminals trying to break into a mans home.

Some Genghis Khan warriors took and kept parts of Afghanistan.

Folks do not understand Fear was one of Khan’s primary weapons

Joke Biden’s admin. Called them “business like.”

[existentially_kuffer]

Anyone want to wager those hanged were not criminal Taliban?

[Clutch Martin]
