More fodder....
I thought it might be interesting to focus partially on capital punishment in various countries. I was surprised to find out that in Japan, capital punishment is carried out by hanging.
Thailand just recently retired their firing squads and will serve capital punishment by lethal injection from now on. Until 1935, all executions were beheadings, performed with a sword.
And then, of course, there's Saudi Arabia, who still performs beheadings.
Though I doubt I'll ever have a lack of material for this blog, this morning two stories in particular glared out at me.
The first is about a 7-year-old disabled girl who died from injuries sustained from a sexual attack. There are no words.
The second is about a man who blamed a two-headed demon named "Legion" for the kidnapping, beating and rape of a woman in South Bend. Thankfully, the jury didn't fall for it.
