Baby Girl Gets to See Her First Public Hanging in Iran

It was a lovely morning in Iran.

(ISNA)
What a great day it was shaping up to be.

There's nothing like taking the baby girl downtown--

(ISNA)
--To view her first public hanging.

Winston says there is only one reason why there is an increase in public executions in Iran- the mullahs are getting scared.

UPDATE: "The latest wave of executions is the biggest Iran has suffered in the same time span since 1984, when thousands of opposition prisoners were shot on orders from Ayatollah Khomeini." -Amir Taheri, Wall Street Journal.

    Awww, she gets to be like Aisha, Muhammed's child bride (marriage consummated age 9) who at age 12 got to hang with hubby the Prophet as together they watched 600-800 Jews get their heads chopped off.

  3. Hey, I don't see the peanut vendors. Did they have popcorn for the kiddies?

    Just what they need for a wholesome upbringing.

  4. Did you notice that in the middle of the crowd the woman is looking rather jovial?

  5. Don't rule out the possibility that her parent(s) took her to give her a brutal awakening to the terrible nature of Iran's government.

    I've heard similar stories of resistance fighters in WWII showing their children the brutal reprisals conducted by the Nazis, in order to guarantee that the kids
    A) Didn't develope loose lips
    B) Realized what the parents were fighting against.

    Of course, there's no guarantee that's what's happening there. . .but it's a possibility.
