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?
I would do it the way the Japanese do it.....carry out the execution, bury the body in the prison yard, and then quietly announce the execution a month after the fact.
Of course not. You are comparing apples to oranges. We are talking about a national leader, a despot who has killed tens of thousands of his people and tortured many more. I have lived in several police states. You have no concept about the rage, anger, and fear associated with living in such places. I would have no problem with such despots hanging in the public square as an example of what happens to tyrants.
I live in VA. Our state flag contains the seal of Virginia with the Latin motto " Sic Semper Tyrannis" - "Thus Always to Tyrants". Adopted in 1776. The two figures are acting out the meaning of the motto. Both are dressed as warriors. The woman, Virtue, represents Virginia. The man holding a scourge and chain shows that he is a tyrant. His fallen crown is nearby.
