Public hanging used to be a common form of execution in the United States. During our more “enlightened” times, crime has erupted and the criminals have more contempt for the law now than ever. If public hanging would deter even a few potential murderers, it would be justifiable again; how much is a single innocent life worth saving? Criminals should quake before the law.
I am all for more expedient trials and executions, for crimes.
However, I wonder how many over there are executed because they questioned a Mullah’s interpretation of a religious dictum, or the sanity of their leaders.
“Ms Ebadi says she believes that there is a political dimension to the growing number of executions: “I see this as way of putting fear into society. They want to use this to frighten people, to make people afraid of voicing criticism.” “
The muzzies have been using these techniques to achieve this very end for over 1400 years. Absent a moral uprising within their own ranks and founded (or, at least rationalized) in their own brainwashed principles, they have no reason to abandon the greastest spectator sports of the seventh century just because some kafir, some infidel, thinks they should.
Islam is a cult. It needs to be eradicated.
Lock and Load.

But you have a valid question.....
IT WENT THROUGH THEIR JUDICIAL SYSTEM. PROPERLY DONE, HANGING IS AS HUMANE AS ANYTHING AND MIGHT PROVIDE MORE JUSTICE TO THE PERP. MANY HAVE POSTED HERE THAT PERPS AREN’T HUMANE TO THEIR VICTIMS AND SHOULD EXPERIENCE SOME TERROR.
Executions are carried out away from the public eye, with only a few observers present as required by law.
THERE IS AN ARGUEMENT FOR PUBLIC EXECUTIONS. IT MIGHT DETER A FEW INDIVIDUALS AND MAKE IT MORE REAL FOR THE REST OF US.
The death penalty is reserved only for the most heinous of crimes in the U.S.
THE TWO EXECUTED IN THE ARTICLE COMMITTED ROBBERY AND MURDER
It literally takes decades to execute a convict in this country and millions of taxpayer dollars are spent on the defense of the condemned.
OUR LEGAL SYSTEM CALLS FOR SWIFT JUSTICE. TOO MUCH TIME BETWEEN ACTIONS AND CONSEQUENCES CREATS A DISCONNECT
These barbarians observe no such customs. Condemned persons, including children btw, are hauled by the neck off the ground by cranes and left to strangle. This is done quite publicly with the sole aim of terrifying the population into submission to a gang of 7th Century islamofascist scum.
CAN’T ARGUE WITH THIS BUT IT IS BEYOND THE FACTS OF THE ARTICLE. SOME WOULD PRESENT THAT THIS EXACT THING HAS HAPPENED IN OUR PAST AND IS HAPPENING NOW
Comparing our legal system to theirs is a rude joke.
JUST TRYING TO POINT OUT THERE IS NO PERFECT SYSTEM. RECOGNIZING IMPERFECTION IS A CONVERVATIVE POSITION.
