Burst to the Spine

Regular readers know I'm no fan of Islam, (to put it politely), but you gotta give the muzzies their due: they don't drag feet when it comes to criminal justice:

This is criminal justice, Yemen style. A man accused of raping and murdering an 11-year-old boy is paraded through his home town before being shot dead by an executioner.

The boy, Hamdi al-Kabas, had reportedly come into his shop for a haircut last December during the Muslim festival of Eid. After brutally attacking him, the barber cut his body into pieces and dumped them outside the capital Sana'a.

He was given the death penalty by a Yemeni court a month later after apparently admitting his crime.

He is allowed to say a final prayer, his shirt is then ripped open before he is laid face down.

A soldier brandishes his machine gun at the nape of the barber's neck, and within a split second it is all over. His death brings the number of executions in the country this year to nine.

Not too shabby -- but the Once and Future Republic of Texas is already at 16 on the year. Gotta pick up the pace if you wanna keep up with the best, muzzie-boys.
