Holy CRAP

[Shady Ultima]

Ok, so... Saddam Hussien is going to be hung for 'crimes against humanity'. I agree he should be killed, but hanging? That's nuts!

[Cosmos]

I'm against the death penalty. That's just wrong.

[Osmose]

Humane killing is still killing. He's ending up dead anyway, why bother over how you kill him, barring something like beating him to death with his own dismembered arm? (Which would amazingly awesome and horribly brutal) Although it is pretty strange to HANG someone in this day and age.

[plightofthepureblood]

Im no pro-execution myself...

But seriously....

Hanging? 1930 called, and they want their method of "Kill the darkies" back.

Thats insane.
I dont approve of this.
But then again, I'm just some dude.

[Grandy]

He hanged lot's of people, I see no why he shouldn't be hanged. (other than the fact I'm agains death penalty, I mean I think if he's going to die, they could very well kill him this way.)

 And you just made this thread THAT I WAS GOING TO MAKE!

 I even had a link and all...

To order the death of another human being in the name of "justice" is an oxymoron.

It's playing God, and we've seen from history that that always ends in chaos. Besides, it's outdated and barbaric. Etc.

Even with all that he's done, to order his death, and have it as a celebrated event, is to rob him of all dignity and humanity, and that is something which nobody deserves to suffer.

We should just throw him in prison for, like, ever. That'd be a better punishment.

[MrMister]

Wow, seems a little crazy, but the punishment should fit the crime. I mean, he's decapitated and raped tonnes of people. Hanging might be a little tame.

[plightofthepureblood]

Throwing him in prison for life wouldnt serve the USofA government. They need Theatrics. Get'er'done, right?

I mean, theyve gotta show that the war on terror accomplished SOMETHING, right?

[Cosmos]

Yet he's not the only one whose done it. Put his *** in rikers or something, let him become someone's bitch. That would be a laugh.

Yeah, you've got a point plight.

[plightofthepureblood]

Not to metion, Im sure the "public show", in the eyes of the US agenda, will hopefully set an "Example" to the Iraqi unrest.

Im sure they think this is the end-all. This is the one that will win the war.

mmmyeah.


Anyone know if there is going to be an appeal process?

From what I read he has one last chance to appeal before a jury or something, and if they say no, no life for you, he has to be executed within 30 days.

Also, there are still a lot of people in Iraq, especially those in his hometown, Tikrit, who still support him. It's going to be interesting to see what they do.

[plightofthepureblood]

Holy crap, precursor, much?

30 days? So much for red tape.

[Osmose]

Oh yeah. He has to go through another court to confirm the sentence, and then he has all sorts of chances to appeal, etc. etc.

He's still going to be alive after this thread is dead and gone, what with how long the legal process can be drawn out.

Did you read that, or are you estimating? (Not trying to be rude)
Becasue it is an Iraqi court. Not American....not technically anyhow.

[I Have a Sandwich]

Its about f***ing time. Just lynch the sucker and let him swing.
