Three sentenced to hang for killing albino children

[nick]

OK, now be warned this story is gruesome and horrible, dont read it if it might upset you. I'm only going to quote a little of it here:-

Three men have been found guilty by a court in Tanzania for murdering an albino boy, in a ruling that campaigners hope will help protect the minority group from being slaughtered for their body parts. The landmark verdict is the first time anyone has been convicted of killing an albino despite more than 50 murders in the past three years.

how would those people like to be hacked into pieces?!
honestly! and killing children! it makes me sick :mad:
I think they should suffer the same fate that they caused those kids...
but that would be inhumane and I hope the authorities are more civil than those bastards.

ugh. this is just... disgusting... :(

It is the most horrible story isnt it. Some people will already know that I am absolutely and completely opposed to capital punishment. The actions of these people are barbaric, personally I don't think we can demonstrate our hatred for barbaric acts by carrying out equally barbaric acts ourselves. But (and I dont think this is a contradiction or hypocrasy) if anyone ever deserved the death penalty it would be those guys.

Wow, that's horrible. At least justice was done.

those murders deserved worse than death, a human being isnt to be harvested for body parts to be used in useless medicine.
