If they were criminals the government had every right to execute them. I'm not getting the outrage.
I agree. I dislike the Chi-Com regime as much or more than the next right winger, but if it was for something like drug dealing or homicide or even grand theft (the person being executed--to say the least--looked like she "cleaned up well" for a girl living in Red China), then I salute them. I also thank God that at least somewhere in the world does not have such a laughingstock of a Criminal Justice system as we do, with criminals languishing for decades on death row and getting unlimited appeals...
Now if it was for something that we consider perfectly okay and legal to do here in America, that would be another story. But a regime should have the right to deal with the criminal element (read legitimately criminal by the standards and norms of most of the world) in any manner they deem reasonable....
Repressive gov'ts love to label lots of things "criminal".
