An Iraqi man has shot and killed seven ISIS militants in an act of revenge for his son who was executed by the terrorist group, local media reports.
Basil Ramadan, said to be in his 60s, used an AK-47 to gun down a group of militants at a checkpoint in Tikrit, a city northwest of Baghdad currently under ISIS control, before he was shot.
Mr Ramadan's son, Ahmed Basil, 18, was one of eight men executed by ISIS in January, accused of infiltrating the organisation and spying for the Iraqi government.

I'm guilty of sitting at a keyboard and not taking revenge
In my defense, I think if I had lost a son or other family member in the same manner, I would have no problem
Perhaps that's why the cowards are working within our system instead of out in the open ... we're armed and we'd make mince meat out of their asses
He went out like a BOSS!
If a family member of each person slaughtered by ISIS did the same, ISIS would lose it’s control.
May God forgive him.
THAT is a brave man!
“If a family member of each person slaughtered by ISIS did the same, ISIS would lose it’s control.”
Most people are sheep. Islam, especially, breeds fatalism.
(See Tom McKenney, Jack Hinson's One-Man War.)
Boy, I hear ya.
I doubt if there's much forgiving to be done. It's not like this man killed humans. He terminated demons.
This guy is TOTAL HERO to me. For most of us, we have to make the decision as to whether to fight or obey when this crap happens. If we obey, maybe we live another day, if we fight, 3 good things can happen, but one bad thing will probably happen (we die)...but the good things will matter to the survivors. Among them:
1) Less bad guys: The bad guys are never very numerous, it’s just that no one will fight them, so they can act like a huge force.
2) Setting an example: If I fight, perhaps my neighbor does also...and his neighbor, and his...
3) If you’re going to be tortured and then killed anyway, they never get the pleasure. In Stalin’s days, there was a building in Moscow where KGB agents lived (or whatever they were called then). One day they heard the familiar boot-steps going up the stairs and the people living there started jumping out of windows - they knew what would happen to them if they got dragged in, because they were doing it to others. They didn’t know who in the building was targeted, but they didn’t want to find out. Now given that, if you had a gun in the apartment, instead of jumping out of the building, you simply wait for the knock and take out as many as you can, and then get killed. If that started happening on a regular basis Stalin may have found some ‘resistance’ in his ranks.
I wonder if any of the Iraqi “insurgents” that fought the US occupation tooth and nail for 10 years or more now wish the Marines were back patrolling their stink hole country?
I think we should take a complete change of tactics over there, and this hero has inspired it. Dump massive supplies of small arms on the general population. Realy arm the citizenry to the teeth. It’s a better idea than what we’re doing now. What happens after the urgent Iraqi military finaly falls.
sound reasoning
what happens in the middle-east and Europe is not our business....no more involvement in distant civil-wars...we don’t need their oil, so let us watch from the side-lines....
Yep. Went out like a man. I'm sure Pope Francis is very disappointed to see a man act like a man.

If we cast off the garments of PC and the rest of the superficial garments, we can operate as a free nation in the struggle for men to be as free as we were supposed to be, once was and can be again.
