BowJoe Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Re: Ding Dong I almost shed a tear when I heard they'd hanged him. I mean, how could they have wasted that rope when a bullet would have done the same thing and is so much cheaper. I tell you, these 3rd world countries have no sense of economics.

Turkeygirl Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Re: Ding Dong Well I'm glad it's over with because I was tired of hearing it on the news but what about what it says in the Bible "Thou shalt not kill".... Actually my mom said it when they announced he'd been hung last night. I mean maybe he did deserve it because of what he's done but the Bible is the ultimate word....Guess Iraq has a different take on things...when I heard they do hanging, I was like holy smokes, that's still allowed....?

Newarcher Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Re: Ding Dong For anyone interested, here is a low quality video of the hanging from start to finish. Via a camera phone or something similar. This is the entire thing. The real story is that Saddam was taunted by the Sunni hangmen who were chanting religious chants, etc. He was hanged in a building used for torture of Sunni muslims under Saddam's reign as an additional poke in the eye. Saddam was in the middle of telling them to go to hades when they dropped the gate. Warning, graphic...well somewhat....tame compared to prime time TV these days. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=863ce7d4a3 New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Re: Ding Dong [ QUOTE ] but what about what it says in the Bible "Thou shalt not kill".... [/ QUOTE ] Ruth,, the Bible also says "An Eye for an Eye " also... Exodus 21:24 and in Deut. 25:11-12 concludes that they should give back in kind. After all, the Bible says, "...eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.." Either way I see it as a JUSTICE being done for mankind....

Turkeygirl Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Re: Ding Dong Yeah, I was wondering about the possibility of fights and stuff that could break out also as Art said...it's getting/has been crazy over there and likely to get worse....all we can do is pray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Re: Ding Dong Was kind of interesting, heard on the news they said there are still two states in this country that allow hangings. Dont remember which ones they said they were though. They said Saddam wanted a firing squad, but they denied his request. Hanging is somehow not as dignified a way to be executed.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah Orlan, that was one. Thinking the other was on the east coast. Really think for some reason that they said Vermont, but I could be wrong, hard to hear the news over the kids sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Re: Ding Dong William, Im not 100% sure but I think Vermont State abandoned capital punishment in the 1960's, and that we have NO Death Penalty on the books as a form of punishment...

wtnhunt Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Re: Ding Dong You are probably right Luke. I thought I might have heard them say Vermont, but could have been wrong. With the 3 kids sometimes hearing the news is about impossible especially around supper time which is when I usually watch the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
