The Iranian Hangfest Continues

Sorry, missed one. Make that two.

And don't forget the popcorn.

"Tehran killers hanged in public" from the BBC:

Two men have been hanged in a Tehran square for the murder of a prominent judge, thought to be the first public execution in Iran's capital since 2002.

Majid and Hossein Kavousifar's deaths come a day after nine public hangings in other parts the country.

When Hossein Kavousifar looked distressed as he awaited his execution, his uncle gestured to him and smiled in an attempt to reassure him.

(Majid Kavousifar waved to his nephew shortly before being hanged)

When the time came, hangmen with their heads covered, put the nooses around their necks kicked away the stools on which the two men stood.

A crowd of several hundred watched. Some shouted "God is great", some took pictures with their mobile phones. A few laughed.

Allah truly is great. A great producer of live entertainment

What an alien society.

Why aren't the Left screaming about this?

Hey there Jay, I'm back! Hope all is well, friend.

Clearly Judeo-Christian societies are the backward nations... no, wait... looks like Islamic, godless and atheistic societies are still in the stone age.

So let me get this straight.

It's OK for the US to execute people accused of murder, but not Iran?

Are you offended because they do it in public and actually take the "deterrent" argument and use the executions as an example?

Are you trying to say that killing judges is OK?

I'm honestly confused here.
