..there is an article in the Daily Mail today and yeah, I know it's the Daily Mail...but it kind of sums up my feelings on the death penalty...
Beheaded in front of children, Assad's thugs are dragged to their doom and butchered like animals in some of the most brutal scenes to emerge from Syria's civil war
...the pictures are also pretty disturbing because of the young children watching....I can't imagine anyone not being horrified/disturbed to watch something like that, it's sickening...and yet, if it was done 'behind closed doors', by lethal injection etc...would that make the taking of a human life any more acceptable...because we don't have to watch this type of 'justice'...how can that ever be 'civilised'....
