On the 30th day of the 12th month in the year of our Lord 2006 the world rejoiced as man was hung by neck the until dead.
A truly proud moment for the Human race.
I do not dispute that fact that this man committed evil deeds, yet it is clear that that his trial was a mere formality a true mockery of what justice should stand for... Just because the whole world THINKS someone is evil should we do away fair trials.
I would have felt better if he was tried before an international tribunal. At least there the law is followed to the letter (or at least so it seems).
I don't know how I feel about the death penalty, there are times I support it and there are other times I feel its barbaric and it reduces us to the level of those who we wish to kill.
In either case I felt a bit repulsed with the way we all were glad that a human life was snuffed out.... It felt wrong.
