My hilarious blogger buddy, IG, at Political Incorrection (Phunny News) posted this story recently. It’s short…take a quick peek… but to summarize, a North Korean Man was executed by firing squad for killing and eating his kids.
Despite the fact that this article is written in IG’s usual reporting style–that is, tongue-in-cheek (no pun intended)– the quote from source material intimates that this is “not the first time the communist regime is believed to have punished residents who resorted to cannibalism in order to stay alive.”
So I guess the real question is if this man was punished for killing his children or for daring to defy is government.
That said, regardless of your feelings on communism, and the sad state of starvation that forces people to resort to cannibalism to live, you’ve got to admit that if the U.S. had a justice system this effective, our prison population would be a lot more manageable. Even though there have been some studies that suggest the existence of capital punishment does not prevent or deter crime, I guarantee there’d be a lot less recidivism.
And let’s face it, especially given the epidemic of violence rampaging through the country, people who kill their own children (or any child ) deserve nothing less than swift justice and a preferably painful death.
