I'll disregard everyone else because they still aren't getting it but yes, you are. I'm not condoning this crap, never in a million years. My point is it happens all over the world; the rest of the world just has more humane methods. They are primitive, this is a fact, and they have not evolved like the rest of the world, but a duck by any other name is still a duck (an execution is an execution).

Having said that, I know a few of you will say, but she was a kid and what she did was not a crime. Again, I agree. And again, we get back to them not evolving. To them, this is a crime, these are their laws and while it does not conform to the rest of society (me included) it is, in their eyes, a capital offence.

If I'm not mistaken, the death penalty has been abolished by all of Europe. Whatever your stance (pro Death Penalty or anti Death Penalty) to me the method does not really matter. All I see is a primitive method of punishment; one is just worse than the other.

Like Amputate, I did not watch this video because I have a low tolerance for that kind of stuff.
