CONFLICT IN SYRIA

[Duchess]

I fell asleep watching this story last night on CNN. I can't stop thinking about it. He was all of thirteen yrs. old & he was emasculated & tortured to death.

The parents were crazy brave to participate in making the video. I wonder if they're still alive.

I wonder if they're still alive.

I've been trying to find out. The only thing in print is that the dad was detained on Friday. I don't know if they still have him or if he has been released. The only information coming out of there right now is being smuggled out, no foreign journalists have been allowed in since mid-March. It's REALLY bad there, the military are firing upon ambulances & school buses, I saw that video last night. They are gunning people down in the streets, young, old, male, female. They are shooting to kill all.

Sometimes, like now, I wish I wasn't so curious & have this godawful need to know.

[Duchess]

I have a video, it's exceedingly graphic.

[Lady Cop]

oh how heartbreaking. that poor boy, how much did he suffer?? who can torture children? pure evil. God have mercy on the children. so terribly sad. rips your guts out.

Oh God. I watched for a minute but I had to stop the video.


Fuckers!!!

He went through a lot before he died, LC. His body is covered in cigarette burns, knee caps broken, broken jaw, shot but not with the intent to kill, only to make him suffer more, etc. His parents will probably be killed for releasing the video after they were told not to make waves.

we can see this but not bin laden what the fuck is the deal?

The middle east lives in the stone age.

Bad God, or Allah, or whatever the fuck His name is. I refuse to worship because bad things happen to children. Omnipotence is apparently useless.

Some pervy prison guard couldn't wait to get his hands on fresh meat. Politics gave him an excuse, but he (or they) was a sick fuck to begin with.

God has nothing to do with the godless, they march to the tune of a different prince.

so much for your baptist college days, you wasted your fucking time.

I thought the Great Redeemer would forgive any sin if you ask it in the name of the Son? "Dear Heavenly Father, I ask for forgivness for shooting, burning, breaking, and butchering that boy in the name of the Son and ask for your great salvation. Satan made me do it. Amen." I think they taught something like that.

And yes, baptism was wasted on me.

I have also read, When Bad Things Happen To Good People, so that was a waste of $7.00.

Man, they fucked that kid up bad. Someday, people here will realize that people over there are not the same.
The guys running the show over there have always been animals, surely will be in out lifetimes.
