| Rapist to Be Thrown off Cliff in A Potato Sack |
That is sweet.
I take it back.
Islam does have some redeeming qualities.
Ayatollah Khomeini may have been exiled to France before he came back and took power in Iran but that wasn't where he got his balls.
Since 1979 pederasty, homosexuality and adultery are among a long list of crimes punishable by death.
That I much knew.
But no one ever said anything about placing someone in a potato sack and pushing them off a cliff.
This is priceless.
Islam you say? Which way do I pray again to the east?
A rapist in Iran was convicted of "seducing", raping, and then killing his nephew who worked as an assistant at the man's carpenter's workshop.
His punishment?
They are going to put him in a potato sack and push his ass off a cliff.
If he doesn't die, big if, he will then be hung on the gallows. He has 20 days to appeal the court sentence.
Yeah, ACLU that is 20 days not 20 years.
I am not some bloodthirsty retributive justice cowboy John Wayne wanna-be conservative but if you've got your man then what the fuck are you waiting on?
In Japan the only other industrialized democracy that practices capital punishment they don't even tell you when they are going to kill you. They just show up at your cell one morning and that is it.
And to make it worse sometimes they don't even come…I mean ever. Some people are on death row in Japan that are as old as 83 and have been on death row since they were 16 years old and they haven't come for them yet.
The Justice Ministry in Japan has repeatedly passed over certain convicts until they are old and frail, because that is how they are admiting that their sentence may have been wrong.
But check this out, ironically the death row inmates aren't the ones complaining. "It was so frightening," said Yukio Saito, who was put on death row at age 24 and acquitted on re-appeal in 1984 when he was 53. "Every day, I thought it would be tomorrow. Every dawn, I thought it would be today. I think if I had known in advance when I would be executed, I would have gone mad."
The point is that Japan's capital punishment program is uncertainty by design.
Which is what putting a man in a potato sack and shoving his ass off a cliff is going for in my opinion. |
