Protecting Children from Monsters

While our highly civilized country has been busy legalizing full-term abortions and normalizing pedophilia & child transgenderism, the war-torn Arabian backwaters of Yemen has opted to maintain a more traditional approach to childrearing. Last week they publicly executed two men convicted of raping and murdering a pre-teen boy. I am an advocate for resuming public executions of child predators in the US. It's nice to see that some places in the world are still dedicated to the task of fiercely protecting children from monsters. Interestingly, a third culprit was to be executed for her role in the incident (she helped dismember the body) but her execution has been stayed because she is pregnant. In America, the execution would still be allowed, since legally the fetus is a mere extension of the woman's body; a clump of cells.

While the event drew a crowd (depicted as "bloodthirsty" by the UK outlet doing the reporting), it is clear that the Yemenis took care to maintain order and provide some level of humanity to the condemned, who were provided clean clothes, water, and medical attention all the way until death. The crowds were kept at a distance, and the men were laid down on blankets rather than merely thrown into the dirt like animals. They were then shot. In more barbarous settings, child rapists would certainly not be granted such a clean death.

I think the Yemenis got it just right. I might question why it took nine months from crime to execution, but I assume they are ensuring sufficient time for due process. It is swift justice, at least, in comparison to our system, where convictions can take years, executions decades, and heinous offenders are more likely to die behind bars - or even be freed - than to face the rope. Our society pretends that it is more humane to toss the criminal into a cage for the rest of his natural life at great public expense. Actually, we just lack the grit to do what is necessary to maintain civilized society.

Of course, being a British paper, they had to do their job and find a properly credentialed prog globalist to condemn the traditional culture.

Human Rights Watch director Sarah Leah Whitson condemned the sentencing in Yemen.
She said: “Public execution is an even more grotesque violation of human rights, particularly in a country where the ability of the accused to obtain adequate legal representation and the coverage of the process is highly limited.”

When it comes to child rape and murder, progressives are very concerned about the gentle treatment of the rapists. She thinks the execution was a "grotesque violation of human rights." She must believe, then, that it would be perfectly fine to lock the accused up for life. (I suspect she's not spent much time in a 3rd world prison.) She must also find nothing wrong with forcing the portion of Yemenis who are not child rapists and murderers to provide perpetual room & board for the antisocial monsters. We know the real answer, though. Human rights advocates will never be satisfied with the treatment of violent offenders, because inherently they will be deprived of at least some of their human rights of life, liberty, and property. While no doubt there are often people under the thumb of brutal oppression who need all the outside advocacy they can get, murderous gay pedophiles given a clean and orderly execution are not them. These social justice warriors shame all those tasked with the leg work of keeping basic societal order. To this measure, the Arabians are actually our cultural superiors, as the enlightened western countries increasingly fail to protect children from monsters.
