Amnesty International Condemns Jordan for Executing Terrorists
Arutz Sheva ^ | 5/2/15 | Dalit Halevy, Tova Dvorin

Amnesty International has condemned Jordan for executing Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists in "revenge" for the group burning Jordanian pilot Maaz al-Kassasbeh alive on camera.

“The Jordanian authorities are rightly horrified by this utterly reprehensible killing but the response should never be to resort to the death penalty, which itself is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment," Philip Luther, director of AI's Middle East and North Africa Program, stated Wednesday. "The death penalty should also not be used as a tool for revenge. The ISIS’s gruesome tactics must not be allowed to fuel a bloody cycle of reprisal executions.”

ZZZZZZZ. Sorry. AI was saying something or other.

But damn right you are, Luther! The death penalty should never be used as revenge. They should just execute terrorists summarily on the streets, like rabid dogs, and wrap them in pigskin after pissing on the corpses, so they'll look and smell real good for transport back to mom and dad.

I never heard them condemn Hezbollah or Hamas or ISIS for anything. I wonder why that is?

When one side runs up the no quarter flag, it’s not play nice time anymore.

Hey.....I never thought of wrapping them in pigskin before pissing on them first. Nice touch. Almost as good as dipping the bullets in pig lard.

Pork. The other white meat.

This is where the nice theory of being against the death penalty runs into the cold reality of stopping savages from pulling civilization into darkness. The only thing a savage understands is pain and death. You can’t reason with it. You have to credibly threaten to kill or hurt it. The best credible threat is to kill or hurt savages that you have in your custody. What Amnesty International has to say is irrelevant to the discussion.

so instead of killing two of them what if Jordan sends in troops to kill thousands of them — is that OK?

The message that Jordan sent by doing this may very well have saved many lives in the future.

Bummer.

Did they have any criticism for ISIS burning the captured Jordanian pilot alive?

If you catch a rabid dog you shoot it before it can bite anyone.

Same principle.

Sure. that was heinous, but didn’t justify the death penalty.

Proper response: Bad bearded savages. Bad. How dare you wave your scimitars around like that. Don’t you know you could hurt someone?

"...should never be to resort to the death penalty, which itself is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment,.."

Even Philip Luther allows a corn chunk of truth to be included in the verbal diarrhea that flows from his face.

The Chicom agents act through Amnesty International. They do not want people to grow balls as they are ball less themselves.

That’ll do. Summarily execute and skin the pigs, too. That way you’ll also get a condemnation from PETA.

And what are they doing/saying to stop ISIS and Islam from killing people like they've
been doing for over a thousand years? NOTHING!

And I'm sure that when they use a Nuke the line will be, you shouldn't nuke them back.
Screw you people. Kill them all.

No. That was humane. At least they didn’t use the death penalty and kill him before burning him.
