Right On The Right

What on Earth could make China more of an evil Communist country? Mobile death vans! China has launched a fleet of mobile execution chambers, so that they can execute freedom-loving Chinamen wherever they may be hiding. I wish I was kidding about this one, but they claim it's a "humane alternative to the firing squad." I even have a picture:

While the example in the following article is of an actual killer, we all know China isn't real keen on freedom. Might we recall what happened that fateful day at Tienamen Square when someone decided to protest? No, these mobile execution chambers won't be used to execute the guilty. Imagine if Stalin got his hands on one of these babies.

CHINA MAKES ULTIMATE PUNISHMENT MOBILE

(June 15) -- Zhang Shiqiang, known as the Nine-Fingered Devil, first tasted justice at 13. His father caught him stealing and cut off one of Zhang's fingers.

Twenty-five years later, in 2004, Zhang met retribution once more, after his conviction for double murder and rape. He was one of the first people put to death in China's new fleet of mobile execution chambers.

The country that executed more than four times as many convicts as the rest of the world combined last year is slowly phasing out public executions by firing squad in favor of lethal injections. Unlike the United States and Singapore, the only two other countries where death is administered by injection, China metes out capital punishment from specially equipped "death vans" that shuttle from town to town.

This man happened to be a criminal, but we can bet that all of them won't be. Click the link and you can get specs on the "Death Vans." What's horrible is that nearly half the people voting in the AOL poll consider these things to be humane. I support Capital Punishment for the guilty, but this is crossing the line in a Communist country. Even the article continues:

For years, foreign human rights groups have accused China of arbitrary executions and cruelty in its use of capital punishment. The exact number of convicts put to death is a state secret. Amnesty International estimates there were at least 1,770 executions in China in 2005 - vs. 60 in the United States, but the group says on its website that the toll could be as high as 8,000 prisoners.

Quite a few executions for a "peaceful" nation, even if their population is 3 times ours. Anyone with basic math skills knows that 3 x 60 does not equal 1,770 or 8,000. China is Communist, and despite their expanding trade, they are NOT expanding freedom. Here comes a fleet of freedom killers...
