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.

Easy for you to say. You don't have any skin in the game. If you lived under his brutual dictatorship and had friends and family killed by him, you might have a different perspective.

This photograph shows the Italian Facist dictator, Benito Mussolini, hung publicly upside down, in the streets of Milan in April 1945. He was shot by Italian partisans and was left like this after death as an object of ridicule.

Funny you should show the picture of Mussolini, he’s the reason I’m an American. Through my Grandmother and Grandfather, I first learned about dictators. I still do not condone dragging the dead through the streets and partying with their corpse. Would I celebrate the demise of a brutal dictator? Of course I would. But I don’t need the defiled body present to do it. Would you advocate for doing this to death row inmates? If you’re for it, might as well go all in, no?

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.”
