Depends on how you look at it. Eye for an eye ~ certainly superior to our punishment system for drunk drivers who kill people.

So if he collects his blood money, does he have to go to prison for ten years to pay back the guy who paralized him and he now has had paralized?

So how much is somebody going to pay to support the paralyzed criminal? Shouldn’t they just go ahead and kill him, if what he did was bad enough to warrant paralysis?

You’re probably correct, I didn’t think it through. Probably a colostomy bag and a catheter, which means he dies inside of a couple of years from an septic infection in one of their filthy prison hospitals.

He was 14, so it was either over Skittles or a hand grenade.

Just guessing, his friend drew a cartoon picture of Mohmand.
