JAKARTA, Indonesia - Indonesia executed a man convicted of killing 42 women and girls in a series of ritual slayings he believed would give him magical powers, his lawyer said Friday.
NVDL: When a human rights agency tries to save a mass murderer you've got to realise there is something seriously wrong with the way human beings think in this day and age. The point of a death penalty is to allow for a fraction of hesitation in a would be murderer. In that sense, the number of lives saved is incalculable. The reverse psychology, that when you save one life you save the world entire, doesn't quite work when the entire world isn't worth saving. Some murderous people, who put imagined magical powers ahead of the lives of 42 other people, is an example of this exception.
