The Executioner's Supplier


 41387437 Lucas203

Interesting news story: "A farmer who builds gallows and has sold them to African countries with poor human rights' records, has been condemned by Amnesty International."

I don't see how this guy can live with himself, but that's his business. However, why is this seen as newsworthy enough to complain about when we don't see regular stories about how Western governments sell weapons and ammunition to terrorist groups and countries who ignore UN resolutions? I'd be willing to gamble that more people die at the barrel of a gun than hanging from David Lucas's gallows.

He does look a bit like a dictatorship himself, doesn't he? :)

I wouldn't want anyone to mention Hawk jet fighters to a poor third world dictatorship called Indonesia... who have a poor human rights record - so bad they have been fighting a civil war for years!
