mass murderer brutally executed in Iran

[Comraddict]

wow this was great execution, more cruel than in movies. He was lashed 100 times before public execution, while 5,000 people were shouting "beat him stronger". Then brother of one of victims stabbed him with knife in back. Mohammed raped & killed around 20 kids.

Some will say revenge is not answer. I wish he was lashed before he did his crimes, then he would think twice.

I agree that justice should be served without passion nor prejudice.

But sorry, I can't really feel empathetic with the guy, and he fully deserved what he got.

Guess it's a case of "I know it's wrong, but I don't care".

This is exactly the right quote
And to Comraddict:
If you're attitude towards this act of barbarism is as I presume from your way of presenting it - make a date with a medic!

Before?

"Just because some guy said it ages ago, does not make it true or correct" - My thoughts

Personally I think making people work is the only sane option. The state/society has suffered because of someone, it's only right that they should have to contribute to it.

 

[Comraddict]

before, yes. as prevention.

Does it make me barbaric, as I like the way he was executed?

 

[Yom]

Yes, I read this. If I were the parent of one of the victims, then I would have found it quite appropriate or even lacking. Since I am not, it seems barbaric.

I agree with Akka. I know it's wrong, but I don't care that much.

D E F I N E T E L Y !
Not only this - even 'cos you like THAT he was executed!
Death penalty is just another crime. Just 'cos it may be legal doesn't make it right. To pay back one crime with another is barbaric! 2 cents from Europe where it is banned!
If it is an eye for an eye and a life for a life earth would be soon a pretty lonely place to be.

Being against the death penalty, I don't even like the 'humane' deaths delt out in the US let alone something like this.

 

[DexterJ]

I'd like to post some long rambling 'liberal' post about the fact that the death penalty fails to deter murder, that murder by the state is no more acceptable than murder by the individual, my belief that the death penalty, especially this kind of violent and 'unusual' killing, normalises violence in society etc, the fact that states with the death penalty have higher murder rates than those without and that states with the death penalty tend to be less developed, poorer, extremist, etc. but im going out to get wasted on booze instead

 

[CurtSibling]

The people who are 'against' the death penalty should pay heavier taxes
to cover the room and board for what would be then life-time prisoners.

I don't see why I should pay for a liberal's hand-wringing.

.......

Sure, what the heck should I else want to tell 'bout?
But there are already pro-contra deah penalty threats on this forum. No need to go deeper. Exspecially 'coz I presume it's clear that I am contra.
And will be.

Yeah of course- the implies the idea that you would get rid of any humanistic ideals if it comes to pay for them? Ridiculous!

If prisoners have to work in jail rather than to watch TV, they'll easily earn enough to support themselfes. So your argument is hot steam only. Not even very hot.

 

[King Alexander]

Even though I'm not in favor of death penalties, extreme cases incline me to change my mind.

Well, the perp certainly won't be touching any more children now, will he?

I would say that the 'deterrent' is now 100% effective in preventing him from raping and killing any more kids.

It is a proven fact that 100% of executed criminals never commit another crime.

You can't argue with that!

It's not even enough for me, if such ANIMALS earn their living - they have to offer to society with their work, otherwise... hung them.

P.S.: for me, such criminals are not/don't deserve to be called humans.

So you will then personally go to all the families of the hundreds of people put to death that were later found innocent and explain why they needed to be killed when imprisonment for life would have allowed them to be reunited?!

 

[Comraddict]

In future society, I hope that individuals capable of murder will be recognized before they commit such acts. Even today, psychiatrists would figure out what is he capable to do.

Maybe problem of today is that we don't have proper punishment for heavy crimes? What Mohammed went thru yesterday is comparable to what his victims went thru. I think he deserved to suffer, and that death sentence by itself is not enough suffering.
