Street Justice…
Death by hanging! What was good for Mussolini is good for Hussein. I’m normally not one to celebrate the death penalty. Dictators who kill their own citizens, however, deserve a good stringing up.
“Long live the people!” Hussein shouted as the verdict was being announced. “Down with the stooges! Down with the invaders! God is great!”
Down with the stooges? What did Larry, Moe, and Curly ever do to you, Sadaam?
As for God being great? Yeah, God is great. You’re about to find out how great he is when you’re dangling by a rope in the public square.
Props to the Judge in this case as well. My favorite part of this story:
Minutes earlier, at least six guards had surrounded former U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark, one of the defense attorneys, and hustled him out of the courtroom. “Get him out! Get him out!” Abdel-Rahman shouted in English, outraged at a court filing submitted by Clark that apparently referred to the trial as a travesty. “He’s coming from America to insult the Iraqi people and the court,” the judge added in Arabic.
Ramsey Clark fell off the deep end a long time ago. The trial wasn’t the travesty here. The travesty is that an American - a former Attorney General - defended a scumbag killer.
One less psycho the world will have to deal with, thank God.
