Saudi Arabia on Saturday executed 81 people convicted of crimes ranging from killings to belonging to militant groups, the largest known mass execution carried out in the kingdom in its modern history.
The number of executed surpassed even the toll of a January 1980 mass execution for the 63 militants convicted of seizing the Grand Mosque in Mecca in 1979, the worst-ever militant attack to target the kingdom and Islam's holiest site.
It wasn't clear why the kingdom choose Saturday for the executions, though they came as much of the world's attention remained focused on Russia's war on Ukraine — and as the U.S. hopes to lower record-high gasoline prices as energy prices spike worldwide. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson reportedly plans a trip to Saudi Arabia next week over oil prices as well.

I'll wager that there are at least 81 convicted psychopaths in this country who deserve the Grand Chop.

In 2019, the kingdom beheaded 37 Saudi citizens, most of them minority Shiites, in a mass execution across the country for alleged terrorism-related crimes. It also publicly nailed the severed body and head of a convicted extremist to a pole as a warning to others. Gotta say, they take their executions seriously. "A warning to others" indeed.

In America, 81 wouldn’t even be a good start.

63 ‘de-headed’ for seizing the Grand Mosque back in 1979.
So, were these men just sitting around in prisons since 1979? Wow!
You know and I know, this is EXACTLY what the majority of Dems wish they could do to Trump supporters in reaction to Jan 6th.

Johnson plans on going on a kow tow bowing trip next week. But those evil Russkies. Effing hypocrites
