A grisly video making its rounds on the Internets gives new meaning to the phrase ‘dead man walking.’
The footage shows three men lined up on top of buses as a crowd of onlookers gather nearby. Ropes are looped around the men’s necks and tied to the bridge supports above them. After their crimes are announced over a loudspeaker, the buses on which the condemned men stand are slowly driven away, leaving the men swinging by their necks as the crowd, including children, cheer.
The convicted men are literally forced to “walk it out” before the nooses tighten around their necks and robs them of their life breath.
The Middle East arm of Amnesty International has denounced the public executions of the three Iranian men convicted of rape and sentenced to hang by bus.
The 26-second video clip was reportedly shot last week in Azadi Square, in the western city of Kermanshah, as onlookers took pictures.
Thank goodness America is more humane when it comes to executing our criminals.
Last night, an Atlanta judge allowed a video crew to film the execution of a death row inmate who was convicted of stabbing his parents and teenage sister to death in 1993.
Thursday’s execution of Andrew Grant DeYoung was the first in the U.S. to be video recorded since the early 1990s.
The recording of DeYoung’s execution was requested by another Georgia death row inmate to be used as evidence in a lawsuit condemning Georgia’s revised 3-step lethal injection procedure.
Maybe if this happened in America ppl would think twice. Public punishment/execution is nothing new to most Countries, just wondering why children were a witness to this, parents want to scare them straight? What about the psychological after math of witnessing such and awful sight.
You live by the
you die by the sword!
Listen, I cannot even say anything bad about this. Usually in those countries, men get away w/rape, so I’m surprise they are actually getting punished for it in the first place.
I have never been raped, molested or anything like that, but I tell you what….IF I HAD BEEN, I wouldn’t give two chits how or what they used to OFF those muthafucka’s. They could use the top of MY car for all I cared!
Rape is awful and those who commit it do so to create terror & chaos! Like Anna said, if they did that chit here…………
Did you see the video of the Taliban executing 16 Pakistani police officers?? That one was really sad
They just lined them up and started firing. Then walked up to each one of the officers and shot them in the head to make sure they were dead.
People can be so cruel…
* in my best Homey the Clown voice* Iran don’t play that *ish.
Shit at least you know justice is served!!!
Bette then some Arab nations where the woman is sometimes punished for being raped Im just saying..
Hey you cant say there is no justice in Iran…. I know a few folks we should send over there
What if the men were innocent
I am anti death penalty but to each their own. I wish we didn’t have crime/rape/murder
Maybe we would not have so much rape here in the states if they would start punishing people to the extent. Child rapists should be the first to go.
Awww Man our American criminals are spoiled.. especially our repeat offenders “recidivism”

I think they should be castrated…and the public should be able to watch…
i’m down with it! personally, i think they’re getting off easy.
I have been victim of a violent crime. I agree that this is a deterent but we need to make sure that these people are convicted with UNDISPUTABLE evidence. Do you realize how many men have men convicted of rape only to find out years later they they were innocent? If the evidence is UNDISPUTABLE…..Let ’em hang!
Children should nto be a witness to this. I can only imaginine the psychological damage this will cause.

I don’t know enough about the “bus hangings” to comment, but this right here…. I thought justice was supposed to be swift. How do you get to live another 13 years after killing your parents and sister?
Damn…and I do math for a living. Make that “another 18 years”.
@ Femme, I’ve never comprehended why someone who gets sentenced to death stays on death row for 20 yrs, especially when it’s caught on tape.
Hi all!
Well I wonder would they have chosen a public rape or a public hanging?
I just feel if our justice system is going to eventually put someone to death…why do they have to live, be fed and housed for decades upon decades?
I see nothing wrong with how this country operates justice. If these men didn’t want this outcome they should NOT have done the crime or done it in a country where they were “other” sentences.
I can understand the Amnesty council disdain towards the public execution. I think perhaps if they did the same thing in the US our jails wouldn’t be overcrowded and crime so frequent. Muthafuggas would think twice before commencing to break the law.

Right! It has got to be the C.R.E.A.M.
If they did it they deserved to hang. But not in front of the kids.
Wow this is VERY disturbing what they did was WRONG but them third world countries don’t play NO games. #proudtobeanamerican
MAN, AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL. I guess thats why our crime rate is so high. Folks dont care about goin to jail. Maybe if our jails were more like other countries, we would have more men out here & woman takin care of their kids.
Won’t be watching this video clip. Don’t support the death penalty here in the u.s. None of the current methods used to make humans think twice about committing crimes, work in america.
If they did in fact commit rape they deserve to die. The wages of sin is death! Kudos to Iran.
