Fucking outragious! This makes me cry. What do you think people: Let the boy live or excute him? Or should we just not bother to worry about such a thing being it is in another country?

I've always been against the death penalty, no matter what, but it's nothing about which country does it - there are many young people waiting execution in America too, for crimes they committed as minors.

For what it's worth

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roper_v._Simmons

Roper v. Simmons, 543 U.S. 551 (2005) was a decision in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that it is unconstitutional to impose capital punishment for crimes committed while under the age of 18. The 5-4 decision overruled the Court's prior ruling upholding such sentences on offenders above the age of 16, in Stanford v. Kentucky, 492 U.S. 361 (1989).

I didn't know that - but it's good to hear.

So Iran is (so far) only 3 years behind the USA - there's something you don't hear often.

I would fight any country till my dying breath on the basis of excuting childern alone. If your society is so bad that you need to excute childern to make your point or control the crime level or the population or whatever, then perhaps you should not exsist at all. Iran excuting gays and childern is UNEXCUSABLE.

And this comment was not posted at anyone directly. I am just pissed.

I am also against capital punishment faceless concerning minors, not adults though, when the crime is delibrately committed I believe they should pay the ultimate price and this is probabely where you and I would disagree even though I agree with most of your opinion on the couch.

By the way ItzMeRon your Post subject is wrong. Because at the age this poor boy was executed he was 18 not 15, and before you say it i know he killed 3 years before. As faceless put it rightly, Iran is not far behind the United states.
I understand your anger, but Iran is a thirld world country, whereas USA is not.

You are only helping fuel those hawks who wanna bomb Iran for allegedly pursuing an atomic bomb program

Take for example what George Gallaway said on his saturday radio show. He said we hear so much about Darfur crisis only because Sudan is a muslim country, while there have been more atrocities committed in DR Congo.

I think you should focus your anger more towards secular countries rather than those which have still to undergo renaissance few centuries late.

If your anger is about innocent people being killed then I hate to tell you, but there's a fucking big elephant sitting in your living room.

What about executing the mentally ill or people that have the minds of children?

Couldn't we just tie him up like a pinata and give people sticks to whack him with?
