The Taliban in Afghanistan have conducted another large-scale public execution before a stadium filled with tens of thousands of spectators, but this time they compelled a 13 year old boy to execute the man accused of murdering more than a dozen of his relatives.
The public killing took place at a stadium in the eastern city of Khost on Tuesday, December 2, with Afghanistan's Supreme Court claiming the condemned man had slain 13 members of the boy's family, including multiple children. Approximately 80,000 attendees, including family members of the victims, witnessed the execution in the MetLife Stadium-sized venue, marking the 11th such event since the Taliban took control following the departure of US and NATO forces in 2021.
Which one of these sick A-holes (Emily Wright, Benedict Tetzlaff-Deas, Amrita Carroll) came up with that
but this time they compelled a 13 year old boy to execute the man accused of murdering more than a dozen of his relatives.
BUT only the goodies came to America...
Not my circus, not my monkeys.
They had twenty years of our blood and treasure to fix things there, and they didn’t.
Look at it this way, 14 less muzzies total WIN WIN. They are truly subhuman so I have no empathy whatsoever.
If it had been a covered stadium, could have been the size of Jerry World stadium.
They don’t want to be “western.” And that is OK, I guess. If they want to treat their people like this, that is up to them. As long as they keep it within their borders it is not our business.
Seems like Old Testament or Code of Hammurabi style justice.
Exactly.
From what I remember of when I was 13, if somebody had done something like that to my family I would have joyously wielded the AK and maybe not made the first shots lethal.
We should have trained and armed the ladies over there, they had something to fight for: their equality.

Meanwhile the NOW-gang says nothing.
I would have asked to wildly swing a rusty ax.
Um, we did the opposite in the late 1980s: the Mujahedin were particularly upset that the Soviets were opening schools for women.
One of the big reasons for the insurgency...which we helped immensely. As in, they got Stingers.
And one of the Mujahedin commanders - one Osama Bin Laden - later had a change of opinion when it came to us. So he used some of the tactics he learned from our Oh So Helpful agencies and welll...you know the rest.
No, contrary to western public myth, all cultures are not equal, period.
I think Rand Paul had it right this morning when it comes to refugees from Afghanistan. His view is that those Afghans who really and truly have thinking - values and appreciation - much closer to us, needed to stay and fight to change their country, not abandon it to the Taliban. He’s right.
On the other hand, that Libertarian streak of his also thinks we should treat even the worst countries no different than we do the best. That purist thinking fails to admit that the more that bad countries have influence in the world, then gradually the less free we will become and those bad influences will present real dangers to us.
I’ve seen folks right here on FR clamoring for public hangings to resume (myself included), so I won’t be one to get on the “no public executions” bandwagon anytime soon.
In the United States, the young boy would be a different type of victim. He would have instead been castrated by a “doctor” at the request of the boy’s mentally ill mother.
I have no problems with public executions. I do have problems with it being made a spectator sport. As long as it’s over there more power to them.
Taliban gonna Taliban.
BUT only the goodies came to America...

Rand Paul is never right. If you find yourself agreeing with him, stop and reaccess.
