Then what is the motor for?

That's for the occasional days when the power grid is working.

hold the blindfolded prisoner’s

Blindfold is a ‘nice touch’

... must be to maintain anonimity
Course guy walking around sans fingers and dripping blood may render the blindfold useless.

Yes; and would be great if O'Reilly - or Hannity - would show the 'live' demo video on his show. . and heck; maybe Brett would do same during 'Special Report'. Maybe bring Alan Colmes on to discuss; or lib-crazy Bob Beckel. . .

The ROP - 'Respect it'. . .says Obama.

Oh. ..and ‘why not’ a special on the ROP and it’s tortures. . .the ‘Religion of Pieces’; would be most apt. . .

Look at it this way! At least he won’t be leaving any fingerprints the next time he steals something! Stupid mooselimbs.

It looks like a small sheet metal shear.

That is simply a modified trimmer.

I used a similar trimmer when I worked for a dog cage manufacturer.
The excess had to be trimmed off after the welding process to make a panel.
Very effective. And very dangerous.

Gee ...

Israel makes some lovely woodworking tools ... which will amputate your finger, if you’re careless.

Iran makes a finger amputating machine ... that’s bloody worthless for woodworking.

And they try to tell me that all cultures are equal ...

Bullcrap, sez I.

Cue the Obama Cairo speech praising Muslims for all the things they “invent”.

A finger guillotine? Well, well, this might be a sign of progress - culturally speaking. This brings them well into 18th century...

It looks like a steel metal sheet steel cutter-punch. They have modified the bottom piece with an aluminum die.

Looks like they have a messed up civil service system like ours. Three guys to do the job that one guy can do. They probably overpaid for that machine. Could of got something cheap from Harbor Freight. North Koreans would do it much simpler, and pass around finger snack food to celebrate. By the way, anyone hear Obama complaining about these punishments? After all, he’s down on real torture like taking nude pics of prisoners and doing water interrogation. Our great leader is silent.

Looking on the bright side, we can be sure that this particular piece of Iranian technology won’t explode and bury dozens of North Koreans alive in a chamber flooded with radioactive, corrosive gas,

And they’re being lenient. Instead of taking a whole hand for a first offense, they just give him the finger.
