I would bet that the folded blanket hides a shallow wooden channel, with the groove perhaps 1.5" deep x 1.5 wide. The tire isn't flexible enough to enter the groove, and the arm is surprizingly compressible, without damage. The kid has to cry, wail and writhe convincingly, but, I'll bet Daddy's little money maker gets an extra candy, and an xbox...

What makes anyone think that Snopes has the right take on this story.

It would not be beyond CAIR and other Islamic apologists to try and cover up what these people have done.

It is well known that in Saudi Arabia, Americans and foreigners don't go out on the streets on Fridays.

Friday is the day punishments are meted out at the local soccer stadiums.

Buses go around the city and pick up total strangers to be witnesses to these punishments.

An executive with a major oil company, who I have known for years, was picked up and made a witness.

He described some pretty sickening punishments especially for women and children.

If punishment is the point, then why wrap the arm in the blanket?

FWIW, the traditional punishment in arabic countries for thievery is to lop off the offender's right hand, not run it over with a car.

I thought about that after I posted. And I agree that there's little that I'd put past Islamists.

Exactly,
there are lots of schticks used in the Far East to make money, and those involving children are really popular.

This is just par for the course.

Right. Islam is capable of some awful things, but Snopes knows their stuff. This is just a street scam.

I remember about 15 or so years, some so called charity was circulating a fund raising ad that had pictures of these African children with the flies on their faces. Later I find out the flies and the tots have a symbiotic relationship. It was a normal thing in that part of the world..

Snopes is your friend.

Snopes is not a reliable source, IMHO.
