- Saudi Arabia on Tuesday beheaded two more of its citizens and a Pakistani, continuing the strictest punishment under new King Salman.

Kind of a weird way to celebrate the arrival of the king and queen of America.

Getting his reign off to a rollicking start!

Yeah, but “they’re just like us”.

[miss marmelstein]

I think I need psychiatric treatment to get over my loathing of the Saudis! They make me shake with rage.

[Dr. Sivana]

Incest, amphetamie smuggling, heroin ... a bit strict but beats stoning rape victims.

I will take a contrarian view to the first two posts. Maybe this country would be better if we executed sex offenders and drug traffickers.

I will call him "King Joffery"

Nothing Says a Coronation Like a Beheading!

It’s good to be king....especially when you’re 79 and suffering dementia.

You just know that new Saudi king had a list of people he was going to settle accounts with. Probably burning a hole in his pocket and he couldn't wait to start drawing lines through the names on it.

Maybe this country would be better if we executed sex offenders and drug traffickers.

The problem with that is that we have a bunch of sex offenders and drug traffickers running our FED,STATE, and LOCAL governments and THEY will be the ones deciding what constitutes sex offenses and drug trafficking.

For example: You are in the bathroom and there is someone of the opposite sex in there, and you tell them to get out. OFF WITH YOUR HEAD.

"Hassan....CHOP!"

From what I’ve read the new Saudi King is suffering from dementia and probably needs a list to remember what his name is.

I have no doubt that these beheadings do represent the start of settling accounts on the part of those behind the scenes who are really in control of the house of Saud.

Doesn't that huge delegation from the US to Saudi Arabia send a message of acceptance of beheading as a punishment?

Are we on the side of terrorists or on the side of civilized governments? Lately, I wonder.

[JimRed]

Or, maybe these executions were already scheduled, and simply carried out as planned. Has anyone bothered to ask?

[Boogieman]

Heads will roll when Obama finds out who is responsible!

[fivecatsandadog]

Holy Crap. Same day, in the same city.

[Biggirl]

May very well see more of these since this new king has dementia.

[fivecatsandadog]

Was this scheduled to coincide with Obama’s visit? If so, perhaps to “impress” him? Weird.

[rktman]

“huge delegation from the US”. Including the assclown that played Kumar in a couple of lame comedy movies. WTH? Guess they found out I wasn’t inclined to fly with them huh? LOL!

[Boogieman]

Also, don’t forget the droves of “sex offenders” who had to be set free after we developed DNA testing and found that they were innocent. There seems to be a particular problem with false convictions for that type of crime.
