Toward A More Modern Method Of Stoning
Today in modest proposals: "The punishment of stoning needs to be updated to fit with the times. Having a frothing mob hurl rocks at a woman half-buried and yelling until her eyes fall out is a process of law which means well, obviously, but it needs to be given a modern gloss. There should still be a place for mob violence, for the semi-burial, for the hurling of rocks, and for stoning to stay on the statute books where it belongs."
There is a beautifully heartbreaking HBO documentary called "For Neda" and in it, amongst other things, there is footage of a stoning. It is, to put it mildly, extremely fucked up.
I couldn't actually finish it, heartbreaking is such an understatement.
