This is why you have to make an exapmle of his beliefs. If he believes being bathed in pigs blood will damn him to eternal hell, then he gets buried in it as a deterent to others. DD
yeah, i'm certain that won't spawn more violence. pissing people off like that usually leads to great things.
You cannot deter a crime like this. The dude freaking snapped. No amount of deterrence matters to someone who has obviously lost their mind/isn't thinking rationally.
How does it piss anyone else off? The guy deserves no quarter.....he should be eternally damned... IMHO, you set an example for others. Maybe but if even one person thinks twice about doing a heinous crime because they are not going to heaven, but would damn themselves to eternal hell, seems to be worth doing. DD
I am not thinking of him at all, I am thinking of others that might be on the verge of snapping, but perhaps would think twice about doing suicide bombings if they knew they were going to rot in hell for all eternity. Or at least believe that. DD
Seriously?? Bin Laden cites the presence of the American troops on Saudi soil as the sort of "last straw." You think treating a Muslim in this way would do anything other than piss off Muslims, generally -- including those that are US citizens that live here peacefully?
agree 100%. Sad, trashy classless, etc...exactly what you'd expect from people living life via a keyboard
Likely cruel and unusual punishment to attempt to damn someone to eternal hell. If someone believes it to be effective, definitely cruel and unusual. If they don't believe it to be effective, definitely pointless and absurd.
No kidding. Flip the coin and imagine if a Christian was treated that way in Iran or something. You think Christian America would just say to themselves "Oh well, better not mess with them."? They'd more than likely take it as a call to war...
http://firstworldwar.com/atoz/franctireur.htm [rquoter] Franc-Tireur Translated from the French as literally "free shooter" and originating from the 1870-71 Franco-Prussian War, 'franc-tireur' was the term used to describe civilians who took up arms against an enemy power contrary to the usual rules of war. During the First World War the term was most commonly attributed to Belgian citizenry who took to sniping in opposition to the neutral country's occupying German force. As the number of German deaths attributable to such sharp-shooters steadily increased in Belgium during August 1914 so the German high command took to implementing harsh retaliatory punishment tactics. Entire villages were held responsible for German casualties at the hands of Belgian snipers. Villages were occasionally razed to the ground to discourage such activity. Atrocities (such as at Dinant and Louvain in August 1914) were widely reported throughout the world and led to the occupying German forces being labelled 'Huns'. Outraged by German tactics in Belgium the Dutch artist and cartoonist Louis Raemaekers began publishing the first in what eventually totalled some 1,000 cartoons depicting the Germans as the enemy of civilisation (for which the German government unsuccessfully placed a bounty of 12,000 Guilders on his head, dead or alive). Nevertheless the German Army's tactics in discouraging franc-tireurs succeeded only in alienating potential German support in key neutral countries, including the United States. [/rquoter]
