| Boy hangs self after seeing Saddam coverage Maureen Balleza New York Times News Service Jan. 4, 2007 06:18 PM HOUSTON - A 10-year-old boy hanged himself accidentally on New Year's Eve after watching reports of Saddam Hussein's execution, the police and relatives said Thursday. Family members discovered the body of the boy, Sergio Pelico, hanging from his bunk bed and called the police in Webster, between Houston and Galveston. The boy watched television reports on Saturday and asked about the execution, said an uncle, Adolfo Chavez. "He asked, Is this how they killed people?' " Chavez recounted in Spanish. "We said, No, but they did it to this man because he's bad.' " Chavez said his nephew had said nothing more about the hanging. The next night, as adults prepared supper and his cousins played, Sergio went upstairs to his bedroom. Another child found the body, Chavez said. Capt. Thomas Claunch of the Webster police said there was no reason to suspect suicide. "It was nothing more than a tragic accident," Claunch said. "I think he was trying to mimic the behavior, and it got out of hand. There were no indications of depression, no problems within the home. He was very positive." The captain said Sergio, an only child who was in the fifth grade, had given his mother a belated Christmas card. "In it," Claunch said, "he says he will do better in school this year, that he wants to get her a better Christmas present next year." Claunch said that the authorities were awaiting autopsy results but that he believed the death would be ruled accidental. Chavez said the family would ship the boy's body home to Guatemala for burial. |
Sarah, fair enough. I don't begrudge anyone their right to push 'play' and I do understand that public executions are commonplace in some parts of the world, in the past and present.
I do have a problem with a single individual being able to determine that the entire world gets to watch what was not supposed to be a public execution...and I really don't think that the execution of a human being, however "bad" they were, should become some kind of encyclopedia entry, able to be acccessed at a whim by anyone in the world with net access.
I also have a problem with people finding this "cool" or worthy of humour...

I can't believe people get joy by watching some one being killed. Don't get me wrong he has done terrible things but really did we need to see him getting murdered? I wouldn't want any one to see me going through that and then make it a big deal like that!!! I don't understand people sometimes!!!!!!
I got suspended from the cor for posting an animated hanging chop and my last avatar today

| Originally posted by evil_cookie are you fucking kidding me? cut him slack?....Hitler? you think people like Hitler should die with respect? words can't describe just how incredibly fucking ignorant you two sound. I personally have family who�ve died in direct result of the carnage caused by Saddam and Hitler. And you say stuff like.... You tell that to the millions of families world wide, who�ve lost loved ones because of tyrants like these two, and ask them to respect their death. what the hell would you know about what actually goes on in the world outside your house? nothing. or else you woulden't make comments like these. Thousands of innocent people die everyday, where is your crying heart for them? oh thats right, their death isen't on CNN. so please, study your history, both of you. cause you don't got a god damn clue what these two men have actually done - research how Saddam and Hitler killed people, then come back and tell me they deserve to die with respect. |
