Was this Gaddafi's grisly end? Picture claimed to be Libyan dictator after he was killed when rebels finally captured his last stronghold

Slumped against the bloodied legs of a revolutionary fighter, this is the picture which Libyan rebels say confirms that deposed leader Muammar Gaddafi has been killed.

The former Libyan dictator was reportedly found cowering in a hole in the ground at the centre of Sirte, after rebels moved through the seaside town during their final assault.

Fighter Mohammed Al Bibi told reporters that the toppled tyrant had pleaded 'Don't shoot, don't shoot' as he attempted to surrender.

There were multiple reports in the Arab press that he died after suffering wounds to the legs.

The man was a brutal tyrant and most certainly deserved his fate but dragging his dead body around and displaying it in revelry is wrong.

People do such things because they need to see some payback and they can't see the monster roasting in hell.

You might reduce some of your unsightly excess sympathy by viewing sites devoted to the Lockerbie victims.

Sympathy? Where on earth do you get that I sympathize with Qaddafy? Wow, would you like to bring the Coliseum and lions back, too?

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

To bad Soros wasn’t with him.

[Churchillspirit]

Oh, I’m sure the msm will find a way to twist this so as to give Zero full credit.

[aruanan]

Sort of looks like Michael Jackson.

Watch and see, the Libyans will be worse off than they were under Qaddafi as will the Egyptians than they were under Mubarak...this is all done under the guise of “democracy” but the forces behind this “Arab Spring” are the same forces behind OWS and wholly evil. Two more world leader assassinations left to go, one right after another here in a very short time, before the evil shows its face...one in Europe and one in the middle east.

Gaddaffi, already injured, was found a short time later in a large storm-water drain, and fighter Mohammed Al Bibi told reporters that the toppled tyrant had pleaded 'Don't shoot, don't shoot' as he attempted to surrender.

I wonder how many people he murdered pleaded the same thing and were also ignored.

What goes around, comes around.

Totally off topic and please forgive, but I am relatively new here and have no clue how to post a photo.

The picture has to be on the web. Right click and copy the properties and create a string like the one above. That one will show up as:

In better other times... Where were his bodyguards pinups? Those stains are never going to come out of his uniform.

Nice photo spread. Here are some interesting links I put on another FR post.

Now that he is gone as appears likely the rush will intensify to find the missing $billions. A few weeks ago there were reports he had asked banks in England and NY to transfer his funds/gold to Venezuela. Anyone know if this happened?

Here is a rather detailed account of the end, with several videos, including the Al Jazeera cell phone feeds.

Here is the official Libyan statement about his death, with interesting details about his life and psyche.

Finally, a summary story on his life and bad influence in world affairs.

If I remember correctly, his mistress was also hung at his side (Carla Petacci? by name?). His wife was left alone. Then, of course, there was the Chouchescou (sp?) couple that were similarly treated after their overthrow. “Thus always to tyrants.”

[Jmouse007]

That about sums it up... Isn’t Islam WONDERFUL?... NOT!

[gleeaikin]

Since Syrian state TV was supporting Gaddafi, and Iran is supporting the Syrian state, whereas the rebels in Libya and Syria have declared their solidarity, I am a little confused by your statement.

[Lady Lucky]

Would you prefer that I called it “tender sensibilities?” You clutched your pearls over the idea of dragging a bloody tyrant through the streets.
Lions, like a firing squad, are too respectable for some executions. Dragging and hanging are then acceptable options.

[gleeaikin]

Although this is supposed to be a message of the future from Jesus, it says nothing about the Rapture. Can it be believed?

[liberalh8ter]

Clutched my pearls? Okay, I'll take it as long as you're willing to concede you find a kindred spirit in those who dragged Qaddafi off that truck and murdered him, flipped him over and dragged him through the streets while shouting, 'Allah Akbar'.

What you call 'tender sensibilities', I call development.

[Wiz]

Syria and Iran next!

[Paleo Conservative]

I stole that and posted it to Facebook.

Gross but good.
