I am against the death penalty.

I think it is an uncivilized way of acting like God and deciding to end someone’s life. Anyway, reading this article today made me think about a couple of things.

First of all, we are executing 6 individuals who were charged with terrorist acts, while the people who incite these individuals, and brainwash young men to do ridiculous acts like that, walk away freely.

Basically, the seeds of all this terrorism are not even given a slap on the wrist, while the last part of the chain is cut off! These young men are easily replaced and multiplied by numbers too, whats the use in killing them while the first part of the chain remains there?

Anyway, the death penalty has become a regular part of our culture here, with news and pictures (unbelieveble) in the newspapers at all times. Our society is deeply disturbed, and you can see that in the large numbers of people who flock to see hangings at Naif palace! Young and old men and women go there like its a picnic, and they probably dont know anything about the person being executed! Its just live entertainment and an adrenaline rush to go there and see someone’s life being ended!!!

And most of the time its the same case as the one mentioned earlier, the pakistani or irani or whatever person being killed as the drugdealer is just an instrument used by the real drug trafficers and is very easily replaced!

We need to skip the small fish and concentrate on the big heads. In some cases, like the one above, the big heads are widely known, and they seem to be above the law so nothing will stop them from recruiting more people who might end up with the same fate as these six.
